Mississippi Burning (1988) First Time Watching! Full Movie Reaction!!

Comments

Edgar Gonzalez

Here we GOOOOOO! Gene Hackman and Williem Dafoe did a fantastic job in this film. Based on true a true story, of the 1964 murders of 3 civil rights workers- James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner in Mississippi Shouts out to TBR and Samantha for reacting to this one! 💪👍♥️🔥

Chris Bruneau

D&S; in Law School we learned all about this case --it is the seminal use of federal civil rights laws to supersede a state prosecution. Remember, the all-white juries back then would NEVER convict on a state murder trial, so the perps were tried in Federal Court for violating the victims' civil rights, specifically the "right to live." its hard to believe that just 60+ yrs ago, black people in southern states were deprived of the right to vote by abject terror and violence. that's what the KKK was really doing, to scare them away from the voting booth. just remember, they cannot win--"The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice," Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I grew up in Alabama and was in high school in the late 80s/early 90s and the full extent of what we were taught about reconstruction and the civil rights era was probably less than one week's worth of classes. I pray it's better now, but somehow I doubt it is. I basically had to learn about stories like this one from Hollywood and my own reading. I'm not saying the south of 2026 is still the south of 1964, but a lot of the same institutional barriers remain in place and have rippling effects through society down here. It's important for everyone that we keep telling these stories.

Oh Yeah!!! Can't Wait to watch it !!! What a Powerful and important Film !!! Classic !! The Acting is Phenomenal !! Gene Hackman Masterclass !! Such a powerful Performance!! For me He Deserved a Third Oscar for this Role !!! I recommend "Get Shorty" and "Hoosiers" for the next Gene Hackman

Tyler Foster

Ordered a 4K UHD of this from Germany. DHL claims it will be here on Thursday. It'll be my first time watching the film. Looking forward to it!

This isn't the most factual film, of course it was dramatized for hollywood but also makes the feds look like white knights. Things didn't just get all fixed when they left. But man Gene Hackman makes this film great. His story about his dad hating someone so much that he didn't realize it was his own poverty hurting him, that was the real deal. Anderson's way of sweet talking people or being the tough guy is enchanting. Glad you guys watched it. I grew up in the south and the echoes from this time are still there. And look at where we are today.

this is a helluva movie. probably my fav gene hackman performance. it is based on true events. though it is a movie so it's heavily dramatized as always. i reccomended this movie on the channel before a while back... seems like it's finally catching on and more reaction channels are checking it out.

Great to watch this one with you. Lots of great roles and actors. It’s not very accurate, so far as the specific events, but more a “fictional” combining that highlights the terrible truths of an era. But that should take nothing from the power of it. There are quite a few horrific photos online for those who wish to search and learn. I’m an old white guy who’s many generations Southern, and I was raised about an hour’s drive from where this happened. People should know what a devastating history this country has had, and it’s amazing that we survived as well as we did during the 50s, 60s, and early 70s. I have memories that would likely remain undimmed by dementia. Race was a very natural expression of trouble because it’s simple and superficial. But the nature of our warring with each other runs deeper, and some of it has been reignited in recent times. Notice the prominent role of the voicing of “Christianity” in this story, and that’s happening again. The distortion was as evil then as it is today. And they were as much strangers to the Gospel of Christ as similar forces are now. And all of it was foretold. I still have family in northern Mississippi, but now I’m far removed. Home for the past 30 happy years has been Minneapolis. And look at what’s happening.

In the real case, the lead FBI agents who were the basis for the Dafoe and Hackman characters actually asked the deputy to help them with the recovery of the bodies so they could observe his reactions. They said he showed no emotion at all. This was the film debut for Tobin Bell, aka Jigsaw, although he's visible as a background extra in some big films that came out earlier in the 1980s.

Just saw your Fantastic Reaction Guys !!! We watched this film in Germany in the school .... For me this is one of the most powerful and important films ever !!! Fantastic Reaction Guys to a fantastic Film

Samolina Pilchard

As great as a movie as this is, the one problem I have with it is showing the anger and violence of Anderson in reaction to the killers - “Anderson’s way”, of solving the case, e.g., beating up Pell, etc., as a way of satisfying our anger as viewers of what the Klan was doing . It may be satisfying to watch (like Dan said wanting to leap through the screen at these people), but ultimately it’s counterproductive (and Dan said as much that it doesn’t work that way in real life). Those kind of actions just perpetuate a cycle of violence and would justify in the Klan’s (and other whites in the South) mind their attitudes about African Americans, the FBI and the north. Ultimately what made the Civil Rights movement successful was through non-violent, non-cooperation, and showing the cruelty to the nation of what was happening (in this case and others, like the Emmett Till murder). And of course , like Dan said, it’s about the children, teaching them tolerance instead of hatred and bigotry as a way of dealing with their problems. It’s a struggle that never ends as I think recent events are showing. Also, Alan Parker is an interesting and talented director. He worked in a diverse set of genres with films such as The Commitments, Pink Floyd The Wall , Bugsy (about the gangster Bugsy Malone, but with child actors), and Angel Heart. I’ve recommended Angel Heart before including on the spin wheel. Ì believe Parker made it immediately before Mississippi Burning, with some of the same cast and crew (including the music, some of which is very similar). It also takes place partially in the South, but it is a very different genre for sure.

Even though I went back and watched your older reaction to Glory this past November, I looked at my movie log, and realized this is the first new full length reaction I have watched from you guys since Night of the Living Dead in late September! This was a good watch. This movie is fantastic. I think it does a good job of explaining to audiences how the feelings of state and local officials cannot overrule the enforcement of federal law. I felt bad for Sam crying. Maybe we need a good comedy next!

Jen Barnes

For another great Frances McDormand film, check out Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Also, I hope you watch Places in the Heart at some point. It's about Depression era Texas and stars Sally Field, Donald Glover, and John Malkovich.

You probably also recognized Brad Dourif from LOTR: Two Towers as Wormtongue.

Donna Castellano

As to the remark Daniel made about them being murderers and only getting the low sentences, Anderson made a comment earlier that murder was a state charge, they had to get them on something federal. It's kind of like how despite all of the terrible stuff Al Capone did, he was eventually taken down on tax evasion. Also recommend Ghosts of Mississippi, which is about the long struggle for justice in the murder of civil rights leader Medgar Evers. Stars Alec Baldwin, James Woods and Whoopi Goldberg.

Brad Dourif is in everything. an incredible character-actor. His daughter has a starring role in The Pitt.

Thanks for reacting to "Mississippi Burning" (1988). Lest we think that racism and the KKK is limited to a Southern thing... it isn't. In the 1990s, a friend's mom got engaged to a guy who grew up in the state of Washington. He had worked in corporate IT industry at the time and told us that another guy in his office invited him to a social gathering after work. During the event it became apparent that it was a Klan meeting for new recruits and he was horrified. After that encounter, he just told the other guy that it wasn't for him to dissuade further invitations. The late actor, Henry Fonda, was taken as a young boy by his father to witness a lynching of a Black man in Omaha, Nebraska in 1919. His father wanted him to see that society wasn't equal for everybody. From that early experience, I can speculate that a role like he had later in life as Juror #8 in "12 Angry Men" (1957) could have held special meaning for him.

David Wilkins

That’s very true. The story told is specifically Southern, and the region’s history has been unique, but hate (and organized hate) has existed in most places, and it continues.

James

another movie you guys need to watch is Places in the Heart. Another powerful movie, Danny Glover, John Malcovich, Ed Harris, Sally Field
