My opinion of the film
I really like this film because of the emotional appeal, like at the very start of the movie they have a song about the 4 little girls as they are filming picture of the girls and there graves. This film made me feel sick to my stomach when seeing the parents and family members crying over the death of there children.
My opinion continued...
I could see how the police treated the black community when they showed the video of the police beating and spraying down peaceful protestors. They also showed the police commander driving around the town in his tank not caring that he would hit someone. This showed how pure evil these people where. The videos gave a really good image of what happened. This made me feel like I was really there by putting a mental image in my head.
My recommendation
I recommend this film to anyone who wants to watch a mournful story about 4 little girls that had there life stolen from an terrible man. This was a very good film that tell a story that will never be forgotten. I really like this movie because of the emotional part of it how it can make you feel bad for the children who died so young. I think anyone will like this movie.
