Movie Reviews of Black and White
Movie Review: Simply Put, This is a Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
After watching this movie, I felt that I'd been on a roller coaster; it may even have more ups and downs than the typical roller coaster. Like a coaster ride, the typical viewer will be on the edge of their seat, recovering from the last curve as they must get ready for the next thrill. Over and over again, hope is raised for Max, who clearly is innocent, only to be dashed. That it is a true story makes the experience all the more tense. I have a DVD collection of well over 3,000 movies, and I can think of none that is more compelling than this movie.
I won't go into the story; others have given an adequate synopsis. I'll just say that for anyone who has a sense of justice, there could hardly be a better movie. This is the kind of movie that every traditional values family should show their teens. It, first, provides a wonderful role model of a person who, even at great personal expense, was willing to stand up for what is right. Second, it gives a great picture of someone, the prosecutor, who is willing to 'fudge' morality for the sake of social or professional advancement. Also, there is nothing in the movie that would be objectionable to the most religious family (except for a couple of swear words).
Note, also: The real Max Stuart, now in his early 70s, has the last speaking role in the film.
Summary of Black and White
