Movie Reviews of Mandingo
Movie Review: Satisfied customer
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie was how I remembered and if I can recall, this movie had an alternate ending. With the baby being thrown in the boiling water? I could be wrong but is this true?. Overall this was a movie in which I must have some of the younger generation watch, so that they can see just how movies were made to portray Black Americans and Black people in general as less than. This is an important movie for all to watch and to show just how backward thinking was in those times. Sad but true if you do not atone for the past, you are doomed to repeat it!.P.S. this also shows how admired and beautiful we are as people and why we will always be!Movie Review: great movie for us non PC people
Summary: 5 Stars
This was an awesome movie, I am from Mississippi and I could see how it could happen, I am not a Politically Correct type of person so I am not that easily offended. The acting was good and Susan George does a great impression of a Southern Belle. I think she was deceived by Hammond who is not worthy of her affection. It has a sad and tragic ending for slave and master. MANDINGO was based on the book series Falconhurst these old paperbacks can be found at used bookstores."Mandingo" and "the Beguiled" a Civil War movie with CLint Eastwood were filmed just South of New Orleans at a plantation named Ashland Belle HeleneMovie Review: Wonderful film
Summary: 5 Stars
Somehow, I missed this film throughout the years. I'm SO glad I purchased it, as it has some fine performances; and certainly, a story line that is pertinent for today.
I don't think James Mason EVER gave a bad performance. Perry King, in his young, sensitive days; always an under rated actor.
The supporting cast is to notch, as well. And Ken Norton; certainly as fine an actor as an athlete.
The production values are very good, too. All in all, I'm most pleased with this picture.
Movie Review: Truly underrated film
Summary: 5 Stars
This is really the first great film about slavery. The critics hated this film, however, it stands up to the time test and let me tell you: it is even better now. The great James Mason and a sexy passionate Perry King act their hearts out. The surprise of the film is Ken Norton: he knew not to open his mouth too much, and to use gesttures and stares to convey what he was thinking. What makes this film truly great is the in your face cruelty depicted on the slaves.Movie Review: Still relevant today
Summary: 5 Stars
Awesome!!! This movie is a must for afro-american history buffs. True it is about Mandingo...black male slave and white woman, but it also showed the black female slave and white male slave owner. The wayward ideas alone will have you sitting on the edge of your seat wondering if it could've happened. Not only did it happen, it's still happening today...in a more modern fashion of course.
