Review of Roll of Thunder
The video story had a good concept, a good plot showing events that were very realistic, but it left out key events such as the revenge of Cassie against Lilian Jean, how the blacks were treated in school, and the revenge of the Logan children getting back at the white bus driver. Watching the movie with important events left out, left the audience confused.
Deserves a big, fat zero!
This movie was made by someone on a diet of white bread and packaged vegetables - bland, blander, blandest. Whereas the book is moving, if a bit over-reliant upon the narrator Cassie over
hear
ing everything and all the children getting into the action, yet again, the movie makes you want to yell obscenities. One example will do. The book is set in the Depression-era Deep South, rural Mississippi - it didn't get any worse for blacks - and the sharecroppers are desperately poor. Yet the characters all look as though they're just shopped off the rack at the country store. There's no fire, no emotion, no tension.
I urge another attempt at a movie of this book because it could be outstanding - the plot is there for people to do something wonderful.
