Avis à la une
Native Son had the makings of a great film - setting, cinematography, cast, story... the plot builds, the characters are developed, and then - a sudden tragedy after which it felt like someone pulled the plug on the film.
Was it a lack of innovation with the screenplay? Was the film's budget exceeded?
Such a shame to develop a main character to this degree, and then basically shut the movie down.

In his imagination a black guy hooked up with a white girl which never happened.
Was slow burning movie but well acted and good finish.

McCarthyism drove Richard Wright away from his land ;he sought refuge in France where his novels were already famous ;so the first adaptation (by himself) was filmed in Argentina by French Pierre Chenal ,a film noir past master ; a colossal mistake was to have the writer play the part of Bigger (25) when he was in his forties; in spite of that ,the film is estimable.
A MTV work followed,in the eighties ,starring Victor Love ,Matt Dillon and Elizabeth McGovern was also interesting :were it for the faithfullness to the novel and good acting , it is to recommend.
The same cannot be said of this third adaptation , transferred to the modern era -which is highly debatable- : the boiler,to name but one detail ,becomes ridiculous in a wealthy family's house .Acting is undistinguished ,the script written in a slapdash manner,and the novel sweeetened ,cheapened and botched : the girlfriend's fate for instance ; the Bigger/Jan relationship is hardly skimmed over ; one never feels that the unfortunate hero knows that his fight is already lost ,and that his boss' patronizing and the rich kids ' social activism will always leave him a chauffeur , a flunkey ; the beginning is a mess, the ending takes the easy way out .Bigger 's frames of mind voice over are not enough to do the powerful novel justice.

Quality acting, especially by our lead. The story alone garners it 5 stars...while the acting and directing does the rest. I enjoyed it and was hurt by it, while also being pulled on what character to route for...
