DVD Reviews of Boycott
DVD Review: HORRIBLE HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE
Summary: 2 Stars
The item was in excellent condition. However, it took close to a month to receive it because Amazon sent it to another state. When I called for correction of this problem, the representative listened to NOTHING I said during the entire over an hour phone conversation and cancelled my order and stated that I needed to place another online order. I had to call back and ask to speak with a supervisor who was no better than the representative as he accused me of making the mailing error. I've order a lot from Amazon and had never needed assistance. Because things can happen, I will never order from Amazon and will advise others not to. Amazon does not value it's customers. Just have a problem and see.DVD Review: The cast was simply sensational
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first saw this movie, I was taken back back the acting of ALL the actors! Jeffery Wright, really bought it home with his portrayal of King. From the pulpit, to going to jail, and to his home life. This was as like being there from a distance but right up on the action. I love it!! DVD Review: A Human side
Summary: 4 Stars
I've seen alot of movies about the life of Martin Luther King Jr and the Boycott that woke up the civil rights movement, but what I like about this movie is it put a human side to everyone in the file. Civil Right leaders are looked at and portrayed as icons. This movie made them human, putting the realistic touch needed for our youth to know and believe the truth of the events of the not so far past.DVD Review: WHAT WOULD YOU & I HAVE DONE??
Summary: 5 Stars
It's 1955 and Rosa Parks has been arrested for refusing to give up her seat on the public bus to a white person. The black (Negro) community immediately reacts with what they think will be a short boycott of the public transportation system. It turns into a 381 marathon of wills between the black community and the whites who want to preserve the status quo. How they did that is the story of this HBO film. There were many times when the boycott could have fallen apart. Many of the blacks did not have cars and relied on public transportation to get to work, often quite a distance from their segregated communities. It is a remarkable story of perseverance, hope and faith. Jeffrey Wright as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. carries the movie but there are impressive supporting performances as well that keep this story moving and entertaining. It is doubtful that any of us can see and learn too much about this ugly part of our country's history. It is a reminder of the incredible ability the human race has to inflict pain and persecution upon fellow humans. It is also a testimony to what hope & faith can overcome. Put this at the top of your list. [...]
DVD Review: "We will not be free until we rest!" 381 days that shook the U.S
Summary: 4 Stars
In December 1955,Rosa Parks wilfully refused to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery,Alabama bus.Her refusal sparked what was to become an 381 day boycott of the Montgomery transit system that saw the rise of fledgling minister and newcomer Dr.Martin Luther King and what was to become what is now recognised as "The Birth of the Civil Rights Movement".HBO has turned in a tremendous,nearly moment-by-moment account of that period of time,the events that transpired and the main figures that were intimately involved in the boycott that found itself going all the way to The Supreme Court.This film is taut with tension from the very opening scene and keeps propelling forward with unrelenting mercy as one woman's brave act of defiance of segregation law spearheads an entire awakening of conscience and soul of not only the African-American population butultimately of the country at large.This film is the most excellent starting place for all students of AMERICAN history.We cannot all be free until all are free!
One interesting point that this film showed was that MLK Jr.(amazing as always Jeffrey Wright!) IMMEDIATELY left the pulpit in the middle of his message to go to his family when he is informed that his home had been bombed.He didn't just sit there looking puzzled and continued what he was doing as some other famous leader did!
4 1/2****'s for this totally compelling , gripping and well made docudrama.
Description of Boycott
One woman refuses to give up her seat in a "whites only" section of a public bus. The bus stops. The city stops. The world stops. December 1 1955 Montgomery Alabama. A time when resentment gives birth to rebellion; when a gesture has the power to bring about change. This single act by Rosa Parks inspires an uprising that will make history and make a leader of Martin Luther King Jr. BOYCOTT is the explosive telling of this story.Running Time: 113 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA UPC:?026359177927 Manufacturer No:?91779When Rosa Parks was arrested in 1955 for refusing to give up her seat on the bus to a white man, the Reverend Martin Luther King was but a modest young Baptist minister suddenly thrust into the leadership of local bus boycott. What started as a one-day protest of unfair bus laws turned into the 381-day boycott that gave birth to the civil rights movement. This riveting, rousing made-for-cable drama meticulously recounts the challenges the protest faced. Jeffrey Wright (Basquiat) is excellent as King, capturing his charisma and rousing speeches while grounding his heroism in human vulnerability and fear, but Boycott reminds us that he was only one of the thousands of ordinary people roused into extraordinary action in the name of equality and social justice. That portrait of everyday heroes changing the course of history remains the film's most rousing message. --Sean Axmaker
