Movie Reviews of Nightjohn
Movie Review: Knowledge is Power
Summary: 5 Stars
I had never heard of this movie and didn't know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. The young lead actress is talented. She's sassy and has a strong mind. Beau Bridges was good as the slave owner who only wants to outdo his brother. This movie has all the twists and turns of slavery movies, but instead of despair at the end, one is left with a sense of pride as this little girl is sold, but she carries on. A must see in my opionion.Movie Review: Story of a slaves in US in 1800's.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a story of slaves in the United States in the early 1800's. The scene of the fingers getting cut off because the person learned to read is graphic for some viewers. This DVD arrived on time in good condition. I recommend it for teaching slavery in American in social studies and English classes. It would appeal to middle school students and 9th graders in high school because the main character is the same age.Movie Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
There's nothing I can add to the excellent reviews already written about this fantastic movie. I only wanted to add five stars to the rating to help balance out the wrongly-placed lesser stars issued by reviewers who found it wanting after comparing it to the book. No film should be expected to compete with a book.
Watch it. It will not disappoint.
Movie Review: An excellent sice of American History
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a moving and touching film. I wish all young Americans, black, white, Hispanic, or Asian can see the reality of knowing how to read and write were for African-Americans back at that time. Maybe they'd appreciate it more and not take for granted, what others in the past vied for and could lose their lives if they had it.Movie Review: VERY GOOD
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie---especially when they're in the church at the end! Wish they had elaborated more on the ending though. But is good and worth the money.
