Even if we only watched a small extract of Mississippi Burning, we could easily understand what was the movie about: We can see a car drove by two white people, and with a black man in the back seat.

A few cars are chasing them before the sheriff and his assistant arrest them.

Even if the sheriff is from the beginning of the arrest quite antipathetic, he become really aggressive once he have seen the black man in the backseat.

He ends up shouting the driver, just because he was driving a black man.

What is really worrying about this movie is to see that even law enforcement were breaking rules and were certainly even part of the Ku Klux Klan.

The Ku Klux Klan is a hate group who is against Blacks, Jews, Communists and the Immigrants.

Even if the KKK is not as potent as it used to be, a few people die each year because of it.

I really think that leaving so much power to people like him is very dangerous, because after all, he is as bad as the criminals he sent to prison.

This work is different from the previous ones studied by its kind: A Raisin in the Sun isn’t a movie but a play, written by Lorraine Hansberry.

The title is a first indication to what the movie will be about: A raisin in the sun is a reference to Langston Hughes’ poem: “What happens to a dream deferred?/Does it dry up/like a raisin in the sun?”.

Indeed, A Raisin in the Sun is all about dream: the main character, Walter Younger, wants money to allow his family a brighter life, his sister, Bethana, wants to be a doctor, his wife, Ruth, and his mother, Mama, wants to own a house,..

One of the most important things that is taught in this play is that dreaming is way more important than owning a lot of things.

The character of Mr. Lindler shows perfectly the importance of fighting racial discrimination: he is a white man; send to the Youngers’ by a neighbourhood association to offer them a large amount of money to keep them from moving in their all-white neighbourhood.

By refusing, the Younger showed pride and dignity, and that’s exactly how people should deal with discrimination.
