Movie Reviews of 4 Little Girls
Movie Review: Disturbing but an unfortunate page in US History...
Summary: 5 Stars
I guess time is the only way for us to measure our progress and I'm happy to see that the wheels of justice finally turned on those who committed that act of cowardly terrorism. There are no other words for bigotry and racial hated other than "ignorance". This includes any extremists who would kill someone because of the color of their skin or how they were put on this Earth by the same God they worship. I hope all those graves have been filled with those people and America and the world can finally move on and use everyone's ability to make this world a better place. This was an excellent documentary and I'd recommend it to anyone when they shape their character and the character of those they are responsible to teach. Our children need to know how not to act and this film should be mandatory viewing in our schools and our homes because change starts with them...Thanks Spike Lee...
Summary of 4 Little Girls
There are many remarkable things about the documentary 4 Little Girls. Spike Lee's striking, beautifully realized film is a cinematic lesson of what kind of material is better suited to the documentary format. In his first documentary, Lee shares an attribute of Ken Burns: the major event in his documentary is not seen on camera. Except for four quick glimpses of black-and-white autopsy photos, the picture stays clear from the bombing. Lee remains with the faces, the girls' friends, families, and the historic figures of the era. They've all grown up since the bombing but their memories haven't faded. The vital facts of the case are certainly here: the troubled history of Birmingham, the court proceedings, friends' last run-ins with the girls. What touches us deeper though are those witnesses telling us of living through the core era of segregation and bigotry: a father explaining to his child why she can't have a sandwich in a cafeteria and a woman offering up tears of past events. There's even an interview with George Wallace, the prince of segregation, that belongs in a David Lynch feature. Lee's film asserts the bombing energized the civil rights movement and when the voice of America, Walter Cronkite, echoes those sentiments, you believe he may have it right. --Doug ThomasFrom the director of ' 'Do The Right Thing' ' and ' 'Malcolm X' ' comes ' 'a masterpiece.' ' (Chicago Tribune) When a bomb tears through the basement of a black Baptist church on September 15, 1963, it takes the lives of four young girls. This racially motivated crime, sparks the nation?s outrage and helps fuel the civil rights movement sweeping across the country.
