Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you have found this entry. Today (9/19/17) I am checking out the 2016 flick Free State of Jones. It stars Matthew McConaughey, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Mahershala Ali. "A disillusioned Confederate army deserter returns to Mississippi and leads a militia of fellow deserters and women in an uprising against the corrupt local Confederate government." I wanted to see this flick back in theaters and din't get to so I hope to enjoy it. It currently has a 6.9 over on IMDB.
- Marching in rows always seemed like such a bad idea yet every military seemingly does it
- And there is the reason that it seems foolish to me
- Matthew McConaughey should NEVER have a beard, it looks horrible
- I don't know why I always forget that McConaughey is a good actor
- Wait...the old cap thing actually works?
- Shit, that quick and he was shot already, stupid war
- It is true, honor means nothing when someone is dead
- I don't think I knew Keri Russell was in this flick
- Just awful the way this country was back then...and now...
- If this is truly a true story good for all of these people for doing what is right
- Poor doggie!
- Swamp water really is extremely disgusting!
- This has an excellent cast!
- Gary Grubbs is such an underrated actor!
- Anyone who thinks mutton chops is a good look is crazy!
- Not a lot to say during this flick, I keep finding myself sucked into the flick
- Sweet baby Jesus....
- The Newt character is an interesting character
- Sweet baby jesus again...it was like a claymore mine!
- The flick is starting to drag just a bit...
- Running to live another day is worthwhile sometimes
- Wait...are they socialist?
- Seriously how great is this cast?
- Of course. I know it is probably what happened but still it disgusts me
I have to say I really enjoyed this flick. It is not a typical "Gene" movie but it was so well done how could I not enjoy it. The cast itself made this movie wonderful, and I mean EVERYONE in it. Was it hard to watch at times, yes it was...because this, or stuff like this, actually happened.
I will not get more preachy then that here because I have declared I'm staying out of politics as much as I can. I will say however that perhaps if we were all just treated everyone like we wanted to be treated things might be different!
Back to the flick I can't say more good about this. The one draw back is it drags near the end after the war. It is important to continue the story but it started to drag when everyone was "free". But I would give this a 8 out of 10, only because I can't do half votes on IMDB.
Check this flick out, find it and enjoy it because it is part of our history that CANNOT be forgotten.
