Mississippi Burning (DVD, 2001)

Purchased this DVD a couple of weeks ago. It arrived promptly, unsealed and
appears to be a genuine copy of the original movie. I have yet to watch it.

while this movie maybe slightly off the truth of what happened in Mississippi it still is an excellent film in telling the truth about the beginnings of the civil rights movement. Thumbs up for the acting, writing, directing etc.

I bought a DVD Friday night, they shipped it on Saturday Morning and I received it on Monday. Extremly satisfied.

I prefer wide screen movies so I can view them as the director indended me to see it. This is a very very well acted movie with some veteran actors and a few new comers who later became major stars. GOOD MOVIE!

love the rawness and realness of the movie. white and black america, in my opinion, need to sit down and watch this movie. show those who dont know, what racisim was really like and help people make the neccessary steps to change.

Tremendous acting across the board whether a workman star like Hackman, a multi-faceted talent like Dafoe or a familiar face that keeps landing the ideal role like Frances McDormand (Raising Arizona, Fargo) make this portrayal of the civil rights strife a riveting, frightening imposition into a viewer's conscience. The story of 3 young civil right workers killed in Mississippi in 1963 launches into the tempest and never subsides until the final credits. If you grew up in the 60's amid the civil tumult this film may hit just a bit too close to home for comforts sake. Another rocker-wannabe Alan Parker classic (Midnight Express, Evita) to engrave its mark on your brain forever.

Movie is great and so was the price. I wanted my son to see it as it depicts one of the most important events in my own social-political development.

I enjoyed the movie and the shipping was quick.. the price of the item was very good as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been wanting this movie for a long time....and couldn't find it anywhere. I finally got around to looking online for it. It is an awesome movie for anyone who is inspired by the civil rights movement during the era of segregation and discrimination. It well deserves the "Excellent" rating.

This movie touched my heart and soul. This was a true story and to see how it truly was back in those days, was compelling for me as an African American female. I just felt the need to buy this movie.

I greatly enjoy movies that have events pertaining to history. This is one of them. I suppose movies like "Mississippi Burning" stirs something in me that makes me want to know why these types of tragedies happened. Growing up in the deep south in the 50's and 60's, I still can't grasp what the hatred was all about. I like this movie because it is based on facts, the actors are excellent, and I seek answers.
