Oppression Trifecta
Posted on | June 26, 2005 | 2 Comments
Friday night we watched Mississipi Burning
Saturday night it was Schindler’s List
I had never seen either of those movies, though I had heard they were very good – and incredibly powerful. I just knew how horrible the stories were…and how hard it is to see that. I still marvel that humans are capable of such unbelievable hate and cruelty. It is unfathomable to me that there are people still, in this day and age, who think that way.
To make it a complete weekend, and since I am already bummed out, I thought we should go for the triple play. There are several choices in this vein; Sophie’s Choice and Life is Beautiful (which at least has a somewhat uplifting story) – both of which I have seen – The Grey Zone and Ghosts of Mississippi are supposed to be good and I’ve never seen either of those….
Suggestions?

So, what did you end up watching? I’ve never seen any of those 4.

The Chamber was on the other night and I remember it being good when I saw it in the theatre. I also really enjoy the Shawshank Redemption, but is it fiction.
