Good to hear from you on here. ...Hey Shaun,<BR/> thanks! Good to hear from you on here. Alan Parker always manages to make the federal govt. into the "good guy" even though he is one of the more progressive people in Hollywood....and both "Mississippi Burning" and "Come See the Paradise" because of their attention to visual detail are extremely evocative, which makes them even more problematic.rebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03384242746548343890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077580.post-1155243340825546422006-08-10T16:55:00.000-04:002006-08-10T16:55:00.000-04:00First, I want to thank you for the memorial you wr...First, I want to thank you for the memorial you wrote about Josie. The few times I met her, she was a very nice individual and the work she accomplished in her time is amazing.<BR/><BR/>On the Alan Parker film, you may remeber he had similar issues with his movie on the Civil Rights "Mississippi Burning." I understand fudging history to condense multiple persons into one character or multiple conversations into one. It is weird, though, when more atteniton is given to every element of clothing than Supreme Court issues. <BR/><BR/>Which is too bad, because not a lot of movies dealing with issues like internment. "The Karate Kid" briefly brought it up.<BR/><BR/>ShaunAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
