Rosewood (DVD, 1997)

10 Jan 2010; Sunday; I bought this Dvd for a friend. She helped me purchase a maytag washing machine (used). She loaned me the money to buy it second-hand & I repayed her back ASAP. I sent her this Dvd as a thank you & Xmass present. I feel every high school graduate should be drafted into the US Army or the US Air Force. The military system teaches young men & women tolerance for other peoples. In the service you have to work with other recruits & members from many different countries. This teaches you that people are the same regardless of their skin color or national origins. I thank the Good Lord for giving me 20 good years, (I m a Veteran of the 1991 Gulf War )towards my retirment & penison. You can see the slowly building bond of military solidarity between these two men ( John a Navy Veteran & Ving an Army Veteran) who have both been in combat. When Ving made the statement, {there is no color when the gas & motars rounds start coming in}, it hit a personal note. My Mums great uncle a US Army Veteran, came back from France 1918 or 1919 suffering from the effects of a mustard gas attack by the German Imperial Army.!!!!!! I want to thank E-Bay for giving the American Public & the World too, a great Internet store. I find many Bargain items & save alot of money. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I refuse to shop @ Walmart!!!!!!!! Everything (except food) I need I find on E-Bay. Thank you E-Bay for excellent $$$$$$$$$ low prices also!!!!!!!! Best/Wishes Charles.

this movie is not for the faint at heart. it deals with hard truths in this society. it shows the double standard that faces people everyday in america. if you can't understand why some people think the way they do look at this movie with an open mind because if you don't you will be very upset. this movie makes you open your eyes and think about the truths in the world no matter how ugly it is. the story is a man had a wife that was a slut and she said that she was raped. the problem was it blame on an inocent man. the angry men in the town burn down one section of the town and force the resident to leave the town , after all that they had done to build it. one lie cause the death of many and cause a rift in the towns people. even through it was proven it was not that man , alot of people lost alot of life and property. the only redemning factor was that the people that were left became very close. i brought as a gift.

Loved this movie. It reminds us how just one little lie can cause so much trouble. The fact that this movie is based on actual history is very depressing. To think that Americans could be this cold even at that time in history is appalling. I wish that I could say that something like this couldn't happen now, but with every ones paranoia it is still possible.

This movie is very well done in my opinon. I liked very much the historical perspective and the narrative. Also the character players are some of my favorite people in acting. This Movie portrays a theme that is still prevelent today. It shows all the human frailties of having peoples mind poisoned. Which is the weakness of the strong. And, the strength of the weak to defend only themselves. Good Movie. Had seen it before, wanted to own it. I bought it on ebay since I had not found it for sale in local stores.

I purchased this DVD especially for my Mom. She is retired and love to sit at home with the grandkids and watch movies. She is 73 years of age and enjoy watching civil rights and black drama movies.
