The way the Baldwin detectives in the movie feels very stylistic too me. They are portrayed as complete vllians with no sympathetic attributes whatsoever. The movie takes a clear good versus evil approach. Sure the Baldwin detectives may have done terrible things, but I think this movie goes too far in portraying them as evil. - Jonathan Bell | The way the Baldwin detectives in the movie feels very stylistic too me.

| + | I had to watch this movie over two days (not because it was boring, but because I had to leave in the middle of the screening, so I finished the next day). So during my intermission, I IMDB'd the film and was impressed by how critically-acclaimed the movie was. Upon finishing the film and the readings (and regarding the lecture), I found very strong correlations between all sources. ''Matewan'' included all the characters mentioned in class (unlike ''My Darling Clementine''), it implemented the main themes from the readings (children working in the mines, the idea of science in industry, the role of violence, etc). So while the movie indeed moved at a snail's pace, I think we should sacrifice that for movies that work hard to achieve historical accuracy. I also challenge the class to not mention Mel Gibson once for next week's wiki comments. We can put his name in the same bubble as we did with ''Gone With the Wind''. - David F. | ||
