Heart of Dixie
Director: Martin Davidson
1989
Mediocre
I
thought the movie would be better than what I saw. The description on Netfilx made it sound good
but sadly it was not. This movie is
about a southern sorority college girl named Maggie who becomes inspired to be
an activist in the civil right movements.
The first scene of the movie opens with Maggie driving in a small town
in Alabama. She ends at her sorority
house where her sisters greet her. Most
of the girls seem focused on getting “pinned” from boys in the fraternity.
The
storyline was a little weak. If this
about the civil rights movement I expected to be more action the keep viewers
tuned in. The big moment in the movie is
when Maggie witness an African-American boy gets beat up by police at an Elvis
concert. This motivates Maggie to write
a piece about it in her school. This was
the only thing Maggie did as an ”activist” in the movie. If you’re going to do a film about the civil
right movements put more action that involves that. The reoccurring theme of the previous movies
I’ve been watching, another main character dies. This time they don’t kill themselves but it
was interesting making the connection to the other movies.
This
film was much liked The Help I can
see where Kathryn Stcokett pulled her inspiration from. A young girl gets motivated to make a change
in the Deep South. Overall it was an
okay movie something that won’t be on my favorite movie list.
