 A Reminder of How Far We've Come... February 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A Gathering of Old Men is magnificent on many levels. To start with it has an all STAR cast. While you may not have heard of many of the senior Black actors in this movie, make no mistake about it, they all have a long film career. This movie is a must have if you are to have a complete film library of really great films. It depicts a time in American history that should never be forgotten, a transitional time that happened out of site of many, but was important to all. The civil rights era changed many things, but it was the spiritual change that was most significant. A Gathering of Old Men is a tribute to that change in some of the last hold outs of a dark time in American history.

Ernest Gaines is a writer who just happens to tell a very good story. Subsequently, his output is interesting, educational, historic, and witty at the same time. If one wants a historic look at race relations during the period of "Modern Slavery", then this is the book to read. This book basically tells of one Black Tenant Farmer who has reached his breaking point and refuses to be beaten by the White property owner as a matter of course. It shows that Blacks can come together for a common cause and against a common enemy. It also tells of the interrelationship of Blacks and Whites with some Whites maintaining a superior position through intimidation and unpunished violence, while another side maintains that position through care and compassion, much as the "good" mistress took care of "her people" during the period of sanctioned slavery. This, as all of Gaines' works is very good reading.
Book vs. Movie January 5, 2007
I really enjoyed the book but as usual the movie cannot capture the feelings and thoughts of the characters. Otherwise the movie was fair.

I enjoyed the DVD tremendously. The younger generation of Black-Americans have forgotten their heritage. This DvD is a sad story of man's inhumanity to man. It also shows us the beginning of Black-Americans and some White Americans working towards justice.
