Till (2022)

Till (film) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

A film about the brutal lynching of 14 year old Emmet Till in the dystopian niightmare of Mississipi before they had those rights and votes.

Its pretty tough to watch ar times as you know there is no happy ending. I kept waiting for the saintly white guy to turn up and save the day. But he never showed up for some reason.

Its easy to follow and well acted.. Emmitts mother is drop dead gorgeous which unbalances the film a little but not much. Young Till comes across as an attractive character taken too soon.

I had never heard about this film before but I stayed up to the early hours watching it..

The Miss tourist office probably wasnt pleased because the state comes across as a real shithole. And the white people no better.

Catch it if you havent seen it because its well worth your time.

Are things better there now ? I would like to think so but some of the things I read make me doubt that.

NB At the funeral they sang It is well in my soul which was the work song of our local Bersham Colliery. Brought tears to my eyes.

His father was executed by an Army firing squad for rape and murder.

His father was hung, he didn't face a firing squad, and there is some question as to his guilt of the crimes for which he was executed.

Keep in mind that the democrat party ran Mississippi at the time and the KKK was the democrat party's political muscle.

Having lived in Mississippi, and Georgia in 40's and 50's, I've seen way too much racial disclination, no lynching but some pretty bad stuff. The problem with most of the movies is they focus so strongly on racial discrimination that they miss everything that was good about the South.

Well, his father died when he was 3 years old.

He was a 14 year old kid who lived in Chicago. Your claim of him recruiting southern white girls seems a little far fetched.

I work with a dude from Mississippi and it's not hard to see why there are problems there and there were. This guy isn't stupid, but he's stupid. He refuses to see what's right in front of his face. His 1 year old kid grows up in a household of anger and aggression and fighting between parents, each accusing the other of the same things they themselves are doing.

I can't imagine it 60, 70 years ago.
