Review of Mudbound (2017) by Bowsleycrother — 21 Nov 2017
Puts you into the situation of two families on a 200 acre farm in rural Mississippi in the segregated South of the 1940s. The white family owns the land and the black family works it share cropping. Both are up against Nature and all they have is their own labor, hopeful that they can make it. This is not a polemical film but it does show how social relationships in the segregated South Effected outcomes.
It gives you a taste of what would happen if white power were to become dominant here again as current alt-right groups advocate. You are on the edge of your seat hoping that the good people in the film will succeed in overcoming each obstacle they encounter. Each.characterhas their own truth to share with you.
A great film to take your teenage son or daughter to.
