I felt that the dissension between the groups was well depicted - Miriam and her husband disagreed on the issue, and the black family's daughter didn't get it either. I like that we could see all sides of the story through these two families. Blacks didn't all automatically think YEAH! Let's walk everywhere! It caught on through the meetings/rallies and some had to be convinced. And not all whites felt the same way about the situation either - and I also liked the progression that both Miriam and her husband went through - not affected, somewhat concerned, then taking action. Very powerful movie. - Elle | I felt that the dissension between the groups was well depicted - Miriam and her husband disagreed on the issue, and the black family's daughter didn't get it either.

| + | In my opinion, I found the depictions of the non-violent responses by the Montgomery black population to be very powerful. There is the scene where the middle son basically takes a whupping, resisting the urge to fight back, and the violent white mob at the end of the movie is met merely with song. Most civil rights leaders, including King, relied on non-violent resistance, and this movie did well to exhibit the power inherent in non-violence.-Bryan Mull | ||
