Versatile depiction of reality – with evenly strong cast. This drama-thriller is loosely based on the FBI investigation into the real-life murders of three civil rights workers in Mississippi in , providing an additional value to anyway skillful plot by Chris Gerolmo and direction by Alan Pakula.

In comparison to other states, Mississippi was and largely is behind the times in many ways, and many crimes were launched or not disclosed due to overall mentality and indifference — thus, community solidarity can have both good and bad elements. The movie shows how difficult is to investigate if people are at bay, and when certain activities are not perceived as felonies. The events are logical and catchy to follow, largely thanks to character actors like Gene Hackman, Willem Dafoe, Frances McDormand, and Brad Dourif who make a difference even while being briefly on screen — no cute faces or politically correct solutions, but harsh and effective methods for solving a severe crime.

But laid out and performed well, without digital effects or long reasoning on human values. BeneCumb May 27, FAQ Parker invokes powerful imagery from the first shot of a white man and a black boy drinking from segregated water fountains whose water flows from the same pipe. Mississippi Burning longs for a peaceful country in which black communities will not be terrorized by racist white people.

It is a demonstration of the fear tactics Republicans and klan members use to discourage black communities from voting or speaking out against these hate groups. Mississippi Burning effectively displays the harsh and unkind truth that black communities in America constantly feel in danger and oppressed by their white neighbors.

However ugly the reality of the situation, Parker captures all the pain and agony with a refreshing truth on camera. His direction is peerless as we see stunning cinematography of this Southern urban wasteland. Parker offers profound reasoning for the hatred with dialogue mentioning the conditions of poverty and ignorance that teach hatred instead of it being born in white Americans.

The cast is as incredible as the overall film. Willem Dafoe presents the honest justice of the FBI trying to change the country’s perception with law and order wonderfully. His resolute stance is so earnest and caring, you cannot help but like Dafoe in Mississippi Burning.

On the other hand, the gruff and macho Gene Hackman delivers an excellent performance as the more straightforward Southern tough guy. His depiction of a man conflicted by the racist viewings of his upbringing against his righteous attempts at uncovering evidence to convict the murderers is fascinating.

Similarly, Frances McDormand gives a great acting performance as a hairdresser taught to be racist from birth that relents on her life choices. You almost feel sorry for her character. These three leading roles carry Mississippi Burning into cinematic greatness. The supporting roles are a variety of hideous racist sheriffs like Gailard Sartain’s negligent officer to the violently racist and abusive deputies like Brad Dourif’s monstrous character.

They are as unsettling as Michael Rooker’s grotesquely racist character is vile. Lastly, R. Lee Ermey gives a fantastically furious performance as the racist and complacent mayor of this Mississippi town. I must mention Trevor Jones scored Mississippi Burning with tense synth heavy songs that leave you stuck in the scenes.

His ear for how to build suspense is particularly outstanding during the chase sequences in the car. In all, Mississippi Burning is a cinematic classic of creative visual direction from Alan Parker matched equally in brilliance by the high caliber acting from Willem Dafoe, Gene Hackman, and Frances McDormand. This movie will frighten, upset, enrage, and shock you. But I feel all the more informed and emboldened to progress America into a more tolerant, accepting, and understanding nation after having witnessed the nightmarish sight that is Mississippi Burning.

Southvalley Reviewed in the United States on August 17, I was riveted the entire film. I remember these times well as I am old and I was a kid when all this happened. When will humanity learn? Anyway, well done!

This controversial film still shocks. The acting is first class and the film itself is very good. One of the best films starring Gene Hackman. Highly recommended. Back to top. Get to Know Us.

BeneCumb May 27, FAQ After Anderson goes to the bar where the KKK is hanging out and lays down the law to them, he returns to the headquarters where Ward chews him out for that incident as well as hanging out at the beauty parlor.

Anderson tells Ward “Deputy Pell’s wife won’t give us the info we need because her husband controls what she says and I’m not going to choke it out of her”. Ward responds “this can of worms only opens from the inside”. What did Ward mean with the “can of worms” comment? When Ward told Anderson “this can of worms only opens from the inside” after Anderson told ward he won’t get any info out of mrs pell, what did that quote mean? Mississippi, and the nation, have been burning ever since. Very moving, excellent performances.

Unfortunately some reviewers use it as a platform for pot shots at those they differ from politically. As close-minded and bigoted as the people this story condemns.

Love this movie this movie is definitely part of our history no matter how much so many people want to forget about it, it is and always will be our history. Avo Reviewed in the United States on September 3, See what MAGA followers are doing today. Same thought process, same bigotry. We need to prevent such hatred by healing the haters.

A riveting crime thriller that feels shockingly relevant. Mississippi Burning is directed by Alan Parker with a gritty realism and brutal violence that hits hard.

This is a film so startling and infuriating that you will never forget it. It takes on the FBI investigation into the racist hate crimes of the KKK in ‘s America that feels as if this took place in present times, sadly. Parker uses documentary style interviews with the backward racist Mississippi local characters to imbue the audience with a feel for how hateful and regressive the local population in the setting really are to their core.

Parker pans the camera around the town constantly showing the average white community member with their distrustful glares and hateful venomous words. Mississippi Burning is a testament to persevering against adversity in the name of justice. No matter how violent and crooked the police and citizens get, the law can always get these criminals.
