I dont really enjoy whoopi goldbergs comedy films i have to say but in this as in "the colour purple" she is magnificent. Of course it helps that the writing is above top drawer and that the whole film is beautifully put together.The film opens with the statement "this is a true story". It tells the story of the murder of a black civil rights leader in mississippi by an extreeme right wing bigot played brilliantly by james woods who after two mistrials is not convicted. Alec Baldwin plays a lawyer who looks into the case many years later and awakens to the prejudice that he has taken for granted his whole life we follow his gradual realisation that if he doesnt take a stand nothing will change. This is the kind of film making that sets a standard, this is what films should do: challenge us; inspire us and awaken us. I cant reccomend this film highly enough

if you like mississippi burning this will be right up your street though more of a courtroom drama it is a true story and the three main actors are on top form especially james woods who is amazing as the ageing racist killer who murdered whoopie goldbergs husband years before and alec baldwin who against the advice of freinds and family is trying to see justice done in court. william h macey, craig t nelson and virginia madsen are also good in supporting roles in what is probably rob reiner's finest directorial work. bargain for owners of multi region dvd players. why this is not available on uk region 2 is beyond me as it is one of the best true movies of the last 20 years. gave it 4 stars not 5 as i think mississippi burning shades it. also check out murder in mississippi' which is a kind of prequel to burning'.
Format:DVD
"Ghosts of Mississippi" is an even better film than the excellent "Mississippi Burning". Let us hope Region 2 will get a DVD or Bluray release one day.
