Not a good movie!

I really did not like this movie. I saw it in school in 6th grade in English class, and my teacher warned us that it wasn't much like the book. I wanted to see it just so I could relax. I would have rather just worked! It was a bit like the book, but they changed so many things. I did like however, that it gave you the same feeling of what it was like to grow up in the 1930's with that many troubles. I wish that the director could've read the book, because it seems like he sure didn't! It seemed like a good movie went you first started it, but then you got a cheesy "Hallmark Movie" feel. Lillian Jean and Jeremy were not supposed to be Wallaces! They were supposed to be Simms! I cannot stress this enough, don't see this movie!

Roll Of Thunder, Hear My Cry is a great film

I remember seeing this film as a kid and thinking that it was a great film. The film was very entertaining to me.I have also read the book and I feel that the film is just as great as the book.I cannot understand how people do not like this film. I feel that the film gives a great account of just how hard it was for African-Americans to live in the early 1900's.I felt that the actors and actresses did a wonderful job as well.There are wonderful actors in this film like Larry B.Scott. Oscar Award winning actor Morgan Freeman is also in this film.It has been such a long since I have seen this film. In fact, I am looking for a copy of this film. That's how much I like it. It is most definitely a classic.

Brilliant Film...How Is It Rated So Low???

No spoilers... brilliant story, brilliant actors, and well worth watching. We live in an era now where quality script writing is hard to find. Over the years it seems that motion pictures have traded substance for high tech cameras and lackluster storylines or regurgitating and repackaging the same stories have been told fifty million times. I'm tired of having to shield my children from films because the directors or producers decided to force feed some sort of agenda into the plot that's has no reason being there. With the way the masses have rated this film you'd think it was Gigli part 3 or something.

Why can't I watch it??

I've sat here and waited and hour seeing if I could watch it. I can't watch it it's not giving me the option. If your going to put something on here at least make it possible for people to watch it.

Good as the book!

This was a very good movie. it followed along with the book because I thought it was funny when Mr. Morrison moved Kaleb Wallace's truck out the way. and T.J. got a lot meaner at the end of the movie. R.W. and Melvin injured him, and Kaleb Wallace and Harlan Granger beat the mess out of him. Christopher-John was not as plump as he was in the book. the movie left off after Papa was injured. but I hope they do a movie for Let The Circle Be Unbroken.

Anecdotes
There is no scene where Mr. Grimes' bus gets stuck in the mud in the entire film.

Versions alternatives
The original 1978 version of this film ran for almost 4 hours, and was shown over 2 nights in July of 1978. This version resembled the book much more than the current one does. Several scenes in the book, but are not in the current version ARE in the original 1978 cut, such as scenes involving the first day of school, a school bus, and mama getting fired because of Mr. Granger. After the first version was shown, the movie was heavilly edited down, removing all of Part one, exept for certain parts that were abruptly edited into Part 2. Small portions of some of the scenes in the first part (Little Man throwing a book on the ground, Mama putting paper over the inside cover of a textbook, the kids digging a trap for the bus to get stuck in, Mr. Morrison introducing himself) appear in a pre-title sequence, not unlike the kind of introduction for part 2 of a two part TV episode. Also, the final scene in Part one is kept, for it has much to do with the events of Part 2.
