Mississippi Burning is an all-names-changed dramatization of the Ku Klux Klan’s murders of three civil rights workers in 1964. Investigating the mysterious disappearances of the three activists are FBI agents Gene Hackman<\/a> (older, wiser) and Willem Dafoe<\/a> (younger, idealistic). A Southerner himself, Hackman charms and cajoles his way through the tight-lipped residents of a dusty Mississippi town while Dafoe acts upon the evidence gleaned by his partner. Hackman solves the case by exerting his influence upon beauty-parlor worker Frances McDormand<\/a>, who wishes to exact revenge for the beatings inflicted upon her by her Klan-connected husband Brad Dourif<\/a>. Many critics took the film to task for its implication that the Civil Rights movement might never have gained momentum without its white participants; nor were the critics happy that the FBI was shown to utilize tactics as brutal as the Klan’s. The title Mississippi Burning is certainly appropriate: nearly half the film is taken up with scenes of smoke and flame.<\/p>\n Lisatud 06.09.2019, 917 832 132b, YIFY<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Two F.B.I.
