Movie Reviews of Mandingo
Movie Review: Very Powerful Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very powerful, disturbing, and thought-provoking movie. While watching it, I can't help but wonder how accurately it portrays the mindset of people back then.
I have to be in just the right mood to watch this movie. (I can say the same about "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.")
Movie Review: good job done on a difficult subject
Summary: 4 Stars
Based on an older book originally Written AS A thesis for someone's master's degree, it handles a very sorry part of Amrican history in a delicate but suspenseful way. Of course it is heart wrenching,m but does not overdo the pathos of being a slave in the early south. (Movie Review: Great Buy!
Summary: 4 Stars
Mandingo was a great movie that teaches you about how things were in the slavery times. It was a good story with great acting! This is the first purchase I've made from Amazon.com and it definitely won't be the last!Movie Review: Great historical picture!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great film and should be viewed in every high school American history class. To learn about the truth of how things were can help us understand;also, prevent these things from happening again.Movie Review: DVD quality is good, but should have been great
Summary: 3 Stars
I saw this picture several times in the theater when it was first released and the cinematography, printed in Technicolor, was stunning. I particularly remember the first dining scene with the room having a strong amber glow from the late afternoon sun streaming in through the half-drawn window shades. The colors were consistently bright and brilliant throughout the entire picture. This latest DVD release is good, but it is not nearly as good as it could have been. It is apparent that Paramount did not care enough about this release to restore the color. It seems the studio simply used the original film elements, which have faded a little with age, as is. This is especially sad since Paramount released "Houdini" at the same time in beautifully restored Technicolor with stunning results. Shame on you, Paramount. "Mandingo" deserves your best efforts, too.
