Summary: 4 Stars
Most everyone knows about Rosa Park's show of courage that helped spark the civil-rights movement, but few will probably know of the experiences in her formative years that helped shape her opinions and influenced her character. The Rosa Parks Story reveals the woman behind the legend. Not only is this gripping viewing, but would be of great educational benefit to a younger audience who may not be so familiar with this important period of 20th century history. Angela Bassett, in the starring role, is excellent - she emanates a warmth but also a gracful sort of stoicism that is entirely captivating. Also of interest is Rosa's relationship with her husband, who, at first was unapproving of her association with the NAACP and of her desire to bring about justice. His feelings, of course change, and there is quite a moving sequence in which this is illuminated.On the whole, this movie is well worth investigating.
Movie Review: Drawn out
Summary: 3 Stars
The only thing I knew about Rosa Parks was the bus incident and that's all the movie seemed to show. There were some memorable moments like when she was a child some of her friends switched the signs on the drinking fountains so the whites were now using the coloured one. A white man used the fountain and let his dog use the coloured one. Then there was the time when Rosa was in school and she saw a girl tracing her shoe outline onto a piece of paper because coloured people couldn't try things on at stores. When I watched this movie, I got a sense that the NAACP used Rosa Parks to further their cause. No one there seemed to have an guts so they used Rosa. This isn't a movie I'd recommend, there's just nothing to it.
