NightJohn**** December 13, 2008
This is one of the movies I can/t seem to keep around the house... Someones always borrowing or holding on to the dvd for weeks at a time to long... The casting was great.., I was entertained by the manner of associations in those days, Where the plantation owners wife & the doctor felt more commonality to read an novel whereas the slave quarters the generations had to co-exist...
Another Look at the Cruelty Slavery November 2, 2008
NightJohn was focused more on slaves not being allowed to learn to read/write and is recommended because it's another area to look at how cruelty was practiced during slavery. Not only the inhumane physical torture to break the body and will that is usually portrayed in "slavery in America" movies, but this movie focused on the attempt to keep the slave mentally crippled/enslaved "total helplessness". It was a crime subject to extremely harsh punishment or even death, if caught learning to read or write. It shows the courage and strong will of one particular slave in his determination to pass on what he had learned to other slaves, against all odds and regardless of consequences. Fine acting from the entire cast. Especially, Carl Lumbly, Beau Bridges, and the little girl, Allison Jones.
 Too Bad I Read The Book First August 27, 2008
If I had seen it before reading the book I might have been able to appreciate it for the movie that it is. However, it takes such liberties with the story it is based on that my students said if it weren't for the title it would be unrecognizable as the same story. Both they and I were very disappointed. The book is fabulous, why couldn't they just have let it be?
A different story July 5, 2008
Rather different from the book, missing several key points that are utterly replaced by others... But a good movie with a good point and still useful for Compare/Contrast assignments for my students.
