DVD Reviews of High Lonesome (True Stories Collection TV Movie)
DVD Review: A shameful part of American history
Summary: 5 Stars
Lous Gossett, Jr. did again, with the help of a talented young actor. Together and wove an intimate, touching story that dealt with the harsh realities of life in the old, wild west; a time where the color of a person's skin determines whether he stay alive or not.DVD Review: a subtle movie with Gosset and Mazzello
Summary: 3 Stars
I just bought this movie after I had seen it on tv. So why buy it? Well I guess it was because of the actors delivering a good performance; Gossett jr. and Mazzello are a safe choice to get energy in the film. This movie tells the story of a small boy who has a hard time getting raised by a father who isn't to keen on black people, let's call him a racist. This reflects on the boy at first but after some dramatic moments he has the insight that blacks are people just like everybody else. The storyline is very thin, but Joseph Mazzello and Louis Gossett jr. lift the film to a good level. Mazzello is adoring in his sorrow and hope. Gossett is a kewl adult, who teaches a kid the basic elements of fatherly love. The film would do a great job on schools as an introduction to prejudice and biggotism. So I guess I can recommend this film to anyone who cares.
Description of High Lonesome (True Stories Collection TV Movie)
In a town ruled by racial prejudice, only a boy had the courage to take a stand. Oscar?-winner LOUIS GOSSETT, JR. (An Officer and a Gentleman) and JOSEPH MAZZELLO (Jurassic Park) head the cast of this compelling and intense drama. USA, the 1930s. Walter Osgood is the only black man left in the town of High Lonesome. He's lost almost everything dear to him, including his wife and son. But no one in High Lonesome will speak out to defend Walter's rights when the town unites to drive him away from the community. Except for one person - a young boy named Charlie. Not only does Walter's extraordinary friendship with Charlie teach the boy the true meaning of love and courage, but it is also a dramatic flashpoint which forces the townspeople to confront their own cruel prejudices.General DVDs
