Truly Dreadful Film

Boring

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

The acting in this movie is really good.

I am born free, and we are all born free. Why do we form biases and why do we have to think ourselves superior than others because of the color of theirs and our skin, or because of having money and worldly possessions give some people a self-entitlement and think the lives of others don't matter? Sadly, slavery is a part of history and we can not hide the fact that even the present generation still bear some ignorance towards this subject. Set before the second world war in rural America, this is a film about two families, one White, the other black. Both families had sons who served and survived and coincidentally formed a friendship in a small town laden with folks who are members of the KKK. Needless to say, there are complications and later on a tragic event occurred . The opening scène is a flashback, the story unfolded then back to that moment of flashback crucial to the survival of those involved. Depressing and painful, but bear in mind, slavery is never a joking matter. Well acted and realistic shots, the viewer gets transported back in time. Sometimes dragging but worth watching.

Greetings from Lithuania.Watching "Mudbound" (2017) is like reading a great novel - it sucks you in and like a great novel never lets you out until the last page. "Mudbound" (2017) is a superb movie.Directing was superb. acting was more then solid - it was just outstanding by simply everyone involved. But the real thing for which this movie is not to be missed out is the story and the screenplay. Its a very plausible, realistic, absorbing, touching and deep story that i have no doubt has happen thousands of times before, unfortunately. Overall, while "Mudbound" isn't a perfect movie, its running time 2 h 10 min run like a minute for me. Great craftsmanship, amazing acting and superb story superbly written, this is one of the best movies of 2017. Great movie.

. . . bad things happened to a particular group of Americans, MUDBOUND reports. If MUDBOUND had played in all of the Confederate State movie theaters in the 1940s, perhaps it would have shown the grandparents of Today's KGB enablers the error of their ways. Such a more timely release of MUDBOUND may have warded off the Birmingham church bombing and Mississippi Burning, while eliminating the need for Woolworth Lunch Counter Sit-Ins, Bus Boycotts, and Bridge Battles. Possibly mandatory MUDBOUND sensitivity training sessions would have made these 1900s Southern Racists too self-conscious and ashamed to reproduce, solving the USA's "Race Problem" once and for all. (As an added benefit, this would have allowed all of the folks speaking normal American dialects to spread out Down South, giving all of us more "elbow room.") Unfortunately, releasing MUDBOUND three generations too late could well do more harm than good. Just as a Presidential Commission concluded that the initial version of the TV miniseries ROOTS reached back centuries to ignite dangerous "blowback" in the late 1900s, perhaps a future White House post-mortem will conclude that MUDBOUND kicked over an even bigger hornet's nest.

This was one of the most difficult grades that I ever gave on IMDb. It's really hard to rate the movie, and I'll try to say why here.Let's start from the top, I really love the overall message that the movie wants to pass, the prejudice, the bad things that humankind it's willing to do sometimes, but also, that there are good people out there, into the mud and the durst. Anyway, this is what I love about the movie, I love the way that it approaches the subject, you fell for all the color characters that are on screen, you want to step up, and fight for them, you fell rage for the KKK a-holes, and a lot of other feelings. In this subject (the message one) the movie is great, thrilling, and engaging. However...In my opinion the biggest flaw of the movie is his need to give everyone a voice (littery a voice, they have narration moments), and does not work. Look, I'm not a hater of narration on movies, I think that if they are used in the right way, they work, but here they overuse this style, and with half away of the runtime you're just tired to hear someone pop up and talking about their feeling every 5 minutes. And is also confusing at times, the pacing of the editing.The movie is also really boring at times, mainly when Jason Clarke's character is on screen, you just don't care about him, his family or anything like that. And this happens probably because they don't do anything special when they are on screen.On the other hand, the acting here is amazing, everyone is great on the roles especially Jonathan Banks (you truly hate the character), Garrett Hedlund and Rob Morgan. The score is very good also.In short, Mudbound is a movie that worth see it, approaches a tough subject, that we must not forget that happened, and change our mindset, in order to ensure that this behavior stops (because this continues to happen, in other forms, till this day). The movie fails on some editing, pacing and screenplay perspective, but, the overall message stills strong.
