Haven't seen that one, but why would you compare a cowboy western to a drama-suspense flick like Mississippi Burning? According to Wikipedia, Django Unchained isn't even set during the civil rights movement. Not a fair comparison. It's not exactly set in the Civil Rights period, but it's about a former slave who's freed and now lives as a free man. Still he's subjugated to being treated as a slave by Southern people as they've never seen a free Black man. He hangs around with a German, and together they're bounty hunters. It's one of Tarantino's finest. I'm sure cobretti would approve. |

Some time in 1964,
There was a race war,
and there were these two blokes,
who went 'round punching folks,
and the bad guys said 'what for?'
'Because we're the FBI,' they said.
'Spill the truth or you're dead.
Tell us 'what' and 'who'?'
Nah, I've got better things to do
but I'm typing this in bed

Just watched Blackkklansman. It came out last year, and even though it got a lot of generic hype, it turned out that it's very good. Go watch it. It's all about Civil Rights and stuff. |

Sounds like a movie I might be willing to watch. Won't buy it, but I'll see if my library has a copy. Not high on my list of priorities though. I've got a lot of crap on my plate right now. |
