VHS Movie Reviews of Guyana Tragedy: Story of Jim Jones [VHS]
Movie Review: A star for effort
Summary: 1 Stars
Great actors in this movie, ie..James E. Jones, Rosalind Cash, Irene Cara to say the least. I first saw this movie back in '80. I was a child then and didn't understand much but do remember this storyline being quite chilling. Now many years later I've taken a renewed interest in this story. I've been listening lately to live audio of Jones' sermons and recordings as well as archival footage.
What I don't care much about this movie is the fact that Boothe has no physical resemblance or personality of Jones. I don't think he was the better actor for this role. Also, as stated above, I have been listening to audio and I can tell that there are some discrepancies like words being put in and taken out of the mouths of the people who were actually there. It was quite confusing. For one small instance, it was a trusted male advisor and employee of Jones (McElvane???) who said to Christine Miller moments before the killings, "It's over sister. We've made that day and let's make it a beautiful day." Yet the movie shows a woman as actually saying that and it was when they were having a meeting/dinner but not necessarily around the suicides. Maybe this is what you get with made for tv movies.
I would much rather go with 'Life and Death of Peoples Temple' dvd. You will gain a better insight into the life of this one of a kind, mysterious person known as Jim Jones.
