Movie Reviews of Our Friend, Martin
Movie Review: We've come a long way baby.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this movie for an after school program of 4-6 graders, based on high recomendations from several people. The film starts out quite cheesy and the kids were a little dubious, especially the older ones, but within a very short time they were entranced. I chose to show it in two half hours over two days due to our schedule. I turned off the first half to much protest. By the end, it was all I could do not to cry watching some of the live footage scenes mixed with animation, and all the children were i tears with me.
I belive, and it has been very well proven with our kids, that they need to know about what went on in our history. Some feel it is too disturbing, but adults now were once children that age and actually experienced the atrocities of segregation.
I highly recomend this movie as part of a large discussion for this age group, discussions that include not only Martin Luther King Jr. but Rosa Parks, Malcolm X and other leaders of civil rights movement. You will be amazed at some of the enlightened comments that they will make. I was extremely moved by how far we as a society have come. We still have a long way to go but, we are so much more advanced and the next generation behind us is, to my relief, one of tremendous compassion.
Movie Review: I watched this in elementary!
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this movie every Martin Luther King Day in elementary. I started in 4th grade then ended up in 6th. Every year I was still engrossed in the message and the characters that were put forward. I, in highschool, am ordering this movie to show my little sister who hasn't seen it and hasn't appreciated MLK. It's a must for people OF ALL AGES to see the world through MLK's eyes and what it would be without him. It allows people to connect with MLK and to see what he really strove for. I love this movie, it will never grow old! I hope to show this to my kids one day.Movie Review: A gem!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent educational video. I agree with other reviewers that it is not appropriate for young viewers. However, as a fifth grade teacher, my students were fully capable of handling the presentation and the discussions that we had before and after.This video truly encourages children to think about the choices they make. Not only does it make Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. someone a child can relate to, but it explores the idea that one person can make a difference. It urges children to stand up for the right thing even when it is difficult.
Movie Review: Excellent kids' movie about Martin Luther King Jr.!
Summary: 5 Stars
I borrowed this movie from a colleague at work to show to my class of special needs students. After viewing it with them, and seeing their reactions, I had to buy it. It teaches values that are so vital to humanity. The movie provides first hand accounts with actual footage and cartoon characters. I would recommend this item to share with any child to teach tolerance, acceptance, forgiveness, and to teach about the great Martin Luther King Jr. I would even recommend it to adults, who sadly, in the 21st century continue to be hateful.Movie Review: o so glad
Summary: 5 Stars
my child advised me of a video the class watched one day. it's
the animated story of a great civil rights leader. one day @
the video store we stumbled across a copy of said movie. upon
watching this i felt necessary to purchase a copy. this video
is entertaining for the entire family & it's great for all ages.
even if you don't own a copy i suggest you find a neighbor who
has it, gather the friends/family,& enjoy watching it together.
