VHS Movie Reviews of 4 Little Girls
Movie Review: 4 Little Girls
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must see for any person who truly believes in equal opportunity for all Americans. Set aside any feelings about Spike Lee. This is not his story and nor is it told like it is. This story is the story of the families (and communities) unnecesseary, unspeakable loss that should be told again again. Lest we forget. It will grip your heart. It is shocking that people can be so cruel and ignorant and insensitive in such a time of conflict and sorrow. With a huge amount of our population born prior to 1955, you best believe that these memories are alive a well as if it happened yesterday. Any history teacher worth their grain of salt and honesty, should be showing this movie. As a parent, share it with your children. Civil rights has come a long way, but still has a long way to go.
Summary of 4 Little Girls
There are many remarkable things about the documentary 4 Little Girls. Spike Lee's striking, beautifully realized film is a cinematic lesson of what kind of material is better suited to the documentary format. In his first documentary, Lee shares an attribute of Ken Burns: the major event in his documentary is not seen on camera. Except for four quick glimpses of black-and-white autopsy photos, the picture stays clear from the bombing. Lee remains with the faces, the girls' friends, families, and the historic figures of the era. They've all grown up since the bombing but their memories haven't faded. The vital facts of the case are certainly here: the troubled history of Birmingham, the court proceedings, friends' last run-ins with the girls. What touches us deeper though are those witnesses telling us of living through the core era of segregation and bigotry: a father explaining to his child why she can't have a sandwich in a cafeteria and a woman offering up tears of past events. There's even an interview with George Wallace, the prince of segregation, that belongs in a David Lynch feature. Lee's film asserts the bombing energized the civil rights movement and when the voice of America, Walter Cronkite, echoes those sentiments, you believe he may have it right. --Doug ThomasDocumentary VHS Video
