Watched Mississippi Burning for the first time (Amazon Prime). Stacked cast with Gene Hackman, Willem Dafoe, Michael Rooker, R. Lee Emery, Frances McDormand, and a laundry list of character actors (i.e. the guy who plays Grima Wormtongue).
A few other thoughts:
- We need more Gene Hackman. He's alive, retired, happy, but I'm greedy.
- Movies shot on film simply look better.
- It grinds my gears how little racial issues have changed.
This is a great, depressing movie, but doesn't really try to end with some kind of kumbaya moment. Thought it did a great job about how divisions are created.
