Roger Ebert's film review translation

★★★★ (Four-star full score) Movies often take place in small towns, but they rarely seem to live there. Alan Parker's "Blood Storm" feels like a movie from the inside out. It is so familiar with the customs of the southern town, that after reading it, I know where to drink coffee and where I should avoid it. This strong sense of time and place—the Mississippi countryside in 1964—is the lifeblood of this movie. Compared with other movies I have seen, this movie shows more deeply...

Movie Discussion – Mississippi Burning

The movie Mississippi Burning talked about a story happened in 1964. Ku Klux Klan (KKK) members murdered three civil right workers. Two FBI investigators came to the town to investigate and try to find the missing people. However, the investigation work was not easy for the two FBI agents because almost all of the police officers in that town were related to a huge KKK organization. KKK was an anti-immigration, white nationalism, and white supremacy group that used violence and threats to...

Facts and fiction in the film (from the New York Times)

It was a hot Sunday afternoon in June of 1964 when three young civil-rights workers-Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman and James Chaney-were arrested on a trumped-up speeding charge outside Philadelphia, Miss. They were held for eight hours, then released in the deepening darkness of rural Mississippi. By prearrangement, they were again stopped on a lonely road by the same Neshoba County deputy sheriff who had arrested them earlier, this time accompanied by a party of Ku Klux Klansmen. They were...

Mississippi is burning

"Mississippi is Burning" is a film filmed in 1988 about the human rights issues of black Americans in the 1960s, based on real historical events. In 1964, in a small town in the southern state of Mississippi, two Jewish boys and a black boy disappeared. They were both members of a human rights organization. Two FBI agents came to the town to investigate the case. What they see here is not a simple disappearance or murder, but a blazing flame of hatred. The first shot of the film is two drinking...

It's very good-looking, the plot is tight, the story is tense, and some of the screen designs are full...

The incident was mentioned in "The President's Road", and I found this work that details the process. The turning point of the case turned out to be the fact that the old police detective and the suspect's wife rubbed off sparks to tell the truth. I don't know if it was a historical fact or an artistic...

There's more N word in this movie than I've ever heard in my life. Textbook racism. In the end, the 3K party was finally settled by the actor selling the...

The recent incident of Floyd's kneeling and killing by the police has caused an uproar in the United States and even around the world. It is difficult for us to understand racial discrimination without surviving in that environment. I watched the video recently, and learned about the Anglo Protestant movement, the American far-right, religious influence, etc. After watching the story of this bloody storm, I have a better understanding, mainly because of the motives of the populist white people....

"Mississippi is Burning" (I like the literal translation of the title, the popular "Storm of Blood" doesn't know what it is called) is adapted from a real case, it is brilliant, and the background of the case is reproduced. You can refer to Lin Da's "I also have a dream", the book talks about this case, and has a simple analysis of related issues. When the film was filmed, it was only more than 20 years after the incident, and the society had undergone earth-shaking changes. More than 30 years...
