Customer Reviews of Ghosts of Mississippi
The Fact of Racism Growing up in a very sheltered and loving community I never really saw the effects of racism. When it was taught in school it always seemed like something from the distant past. This film really brought home the fact that racism is not as distant as I once believed. It is a scary thing to see adults who harvest so much hatred towards other human beings. This film was a real eye opener.
five stars because it is so underrated
'Ghosts of Mississippi' is a much, MUCH better film than a similar movie relaesed earlier in the same year called 'A Time to Kill'. Why the latter film did better at the box office is beyond me. First of all, Alec Baldwin has more acting talent in his pinky finger than the overhyped wooden plank we like to call Mathew Mcaughnahy has in his whole body. Second, Rob Reiner is a better director than Joel Schumacher. Third, but most important, this was a true story where the attorney was really white, rendering the movie less racially offensive than author John Grisham's ('A Time To Kill') vision of a world with only white male heroes.
Great Movie
This is a great movie, I was so impressed. If you saw "A Time to Kill" and liked it, you'll like this one (which was, coincidentally, even made in the same year, set in the same state, set in the same time, with almost the same story)- maybe even better since it isn't ruined with the little "romance" of the movie as "A Time to Kill" was with Sandra Bullock. And it is realistic. Alec Baldwin does a great job acting in this movie. If you don't know anything about "Ghosts of Mississippi," "A Time to Kill," or are familiar with any of John Grisham's books, here's a little summary: 26 years prior, a white man killed Edgar Evans and got away with it. Now, Edgar Evans widowed wife comes to a (white) Mississippi lawyer for help in finally putting her husband's murderer in his place. He tries to uncover 26-year old evidence, dig up witnesses which most turn out to be dead or closed up, and encounters the racist murderer. He also deals with the other racists in Jackson, Mississippi. I enjoy this movie every time I see it.
