Movie Reviews of Unchained Memories
Movie Review: Appreciate listening to memories of slave life...
Summary: 5 Stars
Listening to the actors "recall these memories" reminded me of the slave narratives I read while in college - desciptions of punishments given to terrorize other slaves, slave weddings and funerals, etc. I was able to visualize the experiences these people shared with their interviewers - I guess that is due to the ensemble of talented actors who participated on this project :)
Don't sleep on this DVD. I believe this is something parents should watch with their children, so Americans (especially African-Americans) can remember this important piece of American history.
Movie Review: Touched my heart
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful documentary that touches on a small element of how slavery was from the exact words of ex slaves. It is impossible to embody how the whole experience was from the tales of the slaves that appeared in the books and in the movie. But this movie does a good job on exposng some of the main facts and atrocities that were committed against africans in amerikkka. This movie needs to be shown in all academic arenas as well as homes to expose how africans have been treated for the past 700 years.Movie Review: Unchained Memories
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an amazing video that has famous African-American actors reading the narratives of former slaves as they retold their experience during the American slave movement. The pace is perfect and narratives are intertwined with photos and re-enactments that bring the slave experience to life. Whoopi Goldberg is amazing as the narrator. This video is not only informative, but chilling in its retelling of one of our most traumatic times in American history.Movie Review: WOW!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I, like the previous reviewer, agree that this documentary is something that should be required reading and viewing in our children's schools. I saw this on HBO and can not tell enough people about this program. I am eager to buy the book and the DVD. This documentary is the Roots of this generation. And like Roots, this is something that should be apart of every American's video/dvd collection...especially African Americans.Movie Review: Every Person Should View This Film
Summary: 5 Stars
I must say the video does a good job of summarizing the slave narratives. Note that they take parts of narratives from several ex-slaves when talking about a point or subject. The actors do a great job in using the same language as the narratives are written in. If anything the film makes you want to read the complete narratives, which everyone should. Recommended.
