Customer Reviews of The Learning Tree
Thanks, Mr. Parks The Learning Tree, is one of the best movies ever made, and yet, it has yet to be released on DVD. The first time I saw it, which I think was in my early twenties, I was absolutely blown away. Everything about it from the cast to the story line, was brilliant. Gordon Parks and everyone else involved, did an excellent job, and if I see it a hundred times, it will be as if it was released, yesterday. It's the kind of film, that you could never get enough of, and in case you don't remember, the 70s offered little, in the form of great black films, which is another reason why this, deserves to be made into a DVD. Thanks, Mr. Parks.
This Classic Needs To Be On DVD!!
I have loved this film from childhood and have

<
>But in this day and age of DVD, I think it's ridiculous
<
>that they have released all the old "pimps & ho's"
<
>blaxploitation flicks of the late 60's and early 70's,
<
>yet are reluctant to release treaures like this one
<
>as readily!
<
>The late Gordon Parks did an excellent job of bringing
<
>his book (a recount of his coming of age in 1920's Kansas)
<
>to life with vivid performances by some young actors
<
>and a few of the old school legends of that time
<
>who were still around.
<
>It's a wonder they haven't tried to remake it with
<
>some of the good actors of today!
<
>I've always wondered what happened to some of the
<

<
>I think that they probably also have some great
<
>behind-the-scenes documentary-style footage
<
>as well, which both could make great extras

<
>Bottomline, this movie is a piece of living history
<

Excellence should be more popular
I put this film in the same category as such films as Where the Red Fern Grows, The Yearling, or Sounder. It deals with harsh subjects (racism, murder) but in a gentle way or should I say in a way that is straightforward and isn't gratuitous or sensational. I would say its closest modern counderpart is Once Upon a Time When We Were Colored. Definately an underrated classic.
