Movie Reviews of Goodbye Uncle Tom
Movie Review: AN IMPORTANT AND UGLY FILM
Summary: 5 Stars
I noticed there is only one review for this amazing film. The above reviewer seems to have missed the point of this well-done and shocking film.
Slavery was a horrible and nasty chapter in American History.
Would it not make sense that the portrayal of slavery would be disgusting and evil?
Franco Prosperi and Gualtiero Jacopetti of 'Mondo Cane' spared no expense in creating this epic film.
Contrary to the previous reviewer, I think this incredible movie should be mandatory viewing for all high school seniors in this Country (especially in the South).
After watching this, you will want to go out on your front lawn and burn a rebel flag.
This movie is pretty nasty and shocking. The only other film I have seen that is anywhere near as ill is 'Salo'.
I reccomend this movie to anyone living in the United States.
It will really make you think.
Summary of Goodbye Uncle Tom
It was advertised as The first motion picture based on historical facts about the rise and revolt of slavery in America. It became one of the most reviled and misunderstood films of its time. Written edited produced and directed by Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi this epic recreation of the American slave trade atrocities was both condemned as depraved exploitation and acclaimed as an unprecedented cry of Black anguish and rage. The Detroit Chronicle hailed it as a graphic moving nerve-paralyzing film. Legendary film critic Pauline Kael called it the most specific and rabid incitement of the race war. Three decades cannot diminish GOODBYE UNCLE TOM s impact or quiet its controversy.This is the complete 123-minute English Version of GOODBYE UNCLE TOM fully restored from the original vault negatives loaded with incredible Extras and now presented totally uncut uncensored and virtually unseen since its abortive theatrical release more than 30 years ago.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DOCUMENTARIES/BIOGRAPHY UPC:?827058101592 Manufacturer No:?827058101592Documentary DVD Video
