Mississippi Burning (1988)



Dutch
Mississippi 1964. Drie mensenrechtenactivisten worden op gruwelijke wijze vermoord.
Reden genoeg voor onderzoek. Twee FBI agenten, de jonge Ward (William Dafoe) en de
wat oudere, doorgewinterde Anderson (Gene Hackman), merken al snel dat ze niet welkom
zijn in het stadje. Hoe meer bewijzen er naar boven komen, hoe meer huizen als
waarschuwing in brand worden gestoken.

Mississippi Burning is an all-names-changed dramatization of the Ku Klux Klan's
murders of three civil rights workers in 1964. Investigating the mysterious
disappearances of the three activists are FBI agents Gene Hackman (older, wiser) and
Willem Dafoe (younger, idealistic). A Southerner himself, Hackman charms and cajoles
his way through the tight-lipped residents of a dusty Mississippi town while Dafoe
acts upon the evidence gleaned by his partner. Hackman solves the case by exerting
his influence upon beauty-parlor worker Frances McDormand, who wishes to exact revenge
for the beatings inflicted upon her by her Klan-connected husband Brad Dourif. Many
critics took the film to task for its implication that the Civil Rights movement might
never have gained momentum without its white participants; nor were the critics happy
that the FBI was shown to utilize tactics as brutal as the Klan's. The title
Mississippi Burning is certainly appropriate: nearly half the film is taken up with
scenes of smoke and flame.
