I had to watch this film for film history class and was very impressed with the fact that something like this actually happened. To think that something like this actually happened is a real eye opener. Most of us have never, nor will we ever, have this experience, so to see what this family went through was very moving. The acting was actually good. Though the casting is said to be cowardly, for the time it was made I thought they did a wonderful time. Racism still exists today, so for their time it was the best they could do. I applaud them for making the movie. When the daughter tells her father how upset she is about the "coon" coming to their house I was very shocked and then later moved by the response of her father to her. When the confirmation of the family actually being black and the towns peoples response to that was a bit unsettling to me. The ending with the speech from the preacher was very moving and emotional. A message we can all take note of. I loved the movie and the message it holds and tells to viewers. I recommend everyone see it and take note of the message it tells.
