Alan Parker feels like one of those directors who’s largely been forgotten, which is strange given how many fantastic films he made in the 80s and 90s. This is one of his best. Unsurprisingly, given the subject matter, it’s attracted its fair share of controversy over the years, but taken simply as a film, it’s great.

Un Mississippi en feu, un Gene Hackman impérial et une haine qui suinte par tous les pores. Ma critique de MISSISSIPPI BURNING (1988) est en ligne. Le cinéma d'Alan Parker, c'est autre chose que les comédies françaises poussives, non ? #CKMZ #MississippiBurning #Cinema

Don't go into seeing #CharmingTheHeartsOfMen (2021) expecting to see #MississippiBurning. It's not even close.

The end of the film was very rushed, and really this was a lengthy character study of the ills of Southern U.S.A. in the early 1960s, from the viewpoints of various single women.

Historical accuracy is not the movie's forte. If #KelseyGrammer is truly playing Howard W. Smith, which is *not* stated, then this is a very suspect 'inspired by true events' tale.

#AnnaFriel is alright, and her character #TinaIvlev's, and #PaulineDyer's are the main foci.

There are a few unresolved plot points, such as the bank man, but then they weren't resolved in reality in the movie's set time period, either. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act was over a decade in the future.

Filmed in #Georgia, it wasn't clear in-universe what part of the South it was supposed to be. Smith represented #Virginia.

This is roughly as passable as #WhereTheCrawdadsSing.

WTF?????

Now do y'all see where they're going with all this "authoritarianism" & #CharlieKirk worship?

THIS is where Trump/MAGA/#GOP want to go.

You gonna let em drag us there?

Passend zur Wetterlage (wie jedes Jahr an so einem Abend) gibt's jetzt #InTheHeatOfTheNight v. 1967

Irgendwie ist man näher an den schweißabwischenden und schwitzigen Protagonisten, wenn die eigene Hütte 28°C hat🫠
Quasi sowatt wie Dolby-Surround, aber mehr thermisch, nicht akustisch😄

Kommt gut durch die Nacht der Tagestemperaturen.

Morgen dann #MississippiBurning...
