Movie Reviews of 4 Little Girls
Movie Review: Remebering the Four Little Girls
Summary: 5 Stars
As I viewed the 4 Little Girls documentary, I was reminded of a time when I went to the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church to see where this horrible tragedy took place. A myriad of thoughts came through my mind-- anger, confusion, sadness. The video brought this sadness back. I also felt sad for the white men responsible for killing the four girls. Sometimes I wonder if they understood that on the day they murdered the four precious girls, they took a piece of heaven out of the consiousness of the sky, and indeed, lost a piece of their own humanity. 4 Little Girls taught me that--to hate causes one to lose his or her own ability to experience the gift of humanity.

Movie Review: a great documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm actually watching the special features on this disc right now, and the "making of" special is as well done as the film. This is a powerful and moving film about people before, during, and after a great tradedy. The stars of this film are the parents and friends of these children.One of the most startling things is an interview with violent segregationist George Wallace. Much like Micheal Moore handing the mike to Charleton Heston, the rope is handed over, and Wallace just hangs himself with it. Like Heston, he is old and outdated, illogical and mostly just old. You look at this old old man and you feel a strange pity, because he is so old and small and insignificant.
Movie Review: Incredible...
Summary: 5 Stars
My favorite part of the documentary is the opening scene with black and white still shots of the Civil Rights movement and Joan Baez singing Birmingham Sunday. I actually could not believe how incredibly exquisite that song is! I had never heard it before and sat completely riveted to the tv. I actually called my husband in, started it over, and both of us just reveled in it's poignant beauty.
Spike Lee sets the stage of this documentary wonderfully depicting the violent history of Birmingham and one of the reasons why those 4 little Angels died.
If you haven't purchased this documentary, please do so, it's worth every penny.
Movie Review: Important Piece of History
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those tragic historical events that we all studied -- oh, so briefly -- in our high school history class, but which deserves more attention. Here it is. This was a key moment in the Civil Rights movement -- if the hate mongers could do this to a church and kill little girls -- their objections could never be seriously entertained. It was a wake-up call to the fence sitters and segregationists. Every American should know these girls' stories and remember their names. I recommend History teachers, women studies and peace studies, polisci professors all take a look at "4 Little Girls."Movie Review: 4 Little Girls, Civil Rights and Wrongs
Summary: 5 Stars
Director Spike Lee created a very ambitious project. He set out to tell, clearly and without apology the story of the slaughter of four young girls, the events that led up to them, and the events since. He accomplished this in a largely unbiased, way. The personalities of all those involved are allowed to stand and fall on their own merits.
The Cinematography of this film is worth watching it for no matter what you think of the contents.
