Mississippi Burning
Well, we surely can say that there are many things that author added to the story, in order to make it more informative. Author is showing us something awful for us, so we can feel all kind of madness that was going on there. So we can see the most awful parts that were added to this movie, to show all kind of things that were done by KKK that day. Burning “black churches”. We can see how immoral and awful deeds were done by this organization. Even though that burning churches was not done in that town, we can find it in the movie. The questions of mafia and question of corruption are also here. Dead kids and innocent people who were murdered “just because”.
The reason for the changes are accepted from mine point of view, to show audience what a great crime were done by people who thought that they are higher than other only because of their race. Those stories were added because it was done in order to show viewers all this craziness. Corruption and mafia were added, I guess, to attract more people, and to add more “crime romantics” for this movie. Sure corruption was applied in this cases I guess, but all we know that the most popular theme of US 60s is “mafia”.
And I guess that those changes were important. Because the main idea of the film is to spread propaganda of anti-racism, and to make people not to do same mistakes. To show that due to some egoistic, and stupid reasons innocent people were dying, and this what was going on, and we can’t forget this. Because without knowing your story, you will have no future.
