Free State Of Jones (2016)


A worthwhile and rare story of bravery and justice, i really didn't like the use of flash forwards to remaining family members, it just halts the flow of the film. Watch this for the incredible people who fought against bigotry and hate with very little on their side, just try to ignore the poor filmaking choices. Some subtle and beautiful performances from all concerned, they honour the real freedom fighters.Some parts are just unbelievable concerning how people treated each other and pretty hard to watch. Not a great film but an amazing, if not completely accurate retelling of some shameful history.


Better Than This: Glory (1989) Fantastic depiction of the U.S. Civil war's first all black volunteer company, A Time To Kill (1996) Having seen this back in the day i always knew McConaughey was a good actor, Gone With The Wind (1939) It may be old but it is still bloody good.
