ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

adonis98-743-186503 Two FBI agents with wildly different styles arrive in Mississippi to investigate the disappearance of some civil rights activists. Mississippi Burning is an excellent tale of violence against innocent people that never did a damn thing in their lives. Gene Hackman and Willem Dafoe shine as the main 2 actors of them film each of them is energetic, likable and honestly terrific as each character that they portray. Michael Rooker, Brad Dourif and Frances McDormand are also amazing and there's even a fantastic scene with Hackman and Dourif that was seriously badass and Hackman nailed it perfectly. Tobin Bell also has a small part as an Agent in this movie and he is intimidating to say the least. It's a sad film and a great Drama in general but it's also inspiring in a way that a few people still have some kindness inside their hearts and they will do everything to seek the Truth.

HMay_LondonON I am in the middle of watching this movie. I did not choose to watch it but my stepfather did. It is hard to watch. It is ugly. It is a heart-wrenching snapshot of what once was.This film is moving, it is emotional, it well written and the acting is top notch.What is most ugly and scary - I think the abuse, hate and ignorance portrayed in this film are still happening today... and being perpetuated by certain individuals.I am sad and broken knowing there are so many who will not know love and acceptance. #lovetrumpshate

LessThanPadraig When you're born in the 1990s in a country far off from the American South, it is hard to envisage how people could actually behave so hatefully because of skin pigment. This film, puts much into perspective and truly is an eye-opener that allows those of us who are detached from the film's setting a glimpse into what life was like at the time.From the very first scene it's tense and keeps you intrigued towards the outcome.As casting goes it's perfect, everyone depicts their roles well and adds to the whole theme both historically and emotionally. It also has a number of scenes that will make your blood boil and your skin crawl, but for me that's all part of the necessary roller-coaster of emotions that one would experience in order to appreciate this film and it's messageThis film may prove upsetting for some, but I would advise you to have a go. There have been many movies grounded around similar themes, and whilst most have been plausible I feel that this one is the pinnacle. Some people will probably be put off it because it's starting to age, but if you have decent taste you'll know yourself that this isn't an issue. Must watch!

Irishchatter I'm not saying it's the worst out there but, I just think the movie needed to be shorten a little bit. I kept seeing rather boring bits so that caused me to skip much of the film.Anyways let's move onto something positive, I thought Willem Dafoe and Gene Hackman were excellent at playing the FBI agents. I loved how Dafoe's character Agent Alan Ward was a sarcastic yet let's-get-onto-the point type of guy. He really is a charmer and I began to have a little crush on him right from the beginning. I know, totally weird, right?I even loved how Hackman made his character Agent Rupert Anderson, a really humorous guy. Well he is a legend so, we can't complain,right?It is a really dark film with seeing the abuse of the African Americans during the 1960s. It does make you glad that nowadays, we all accept one another!
