Review of Uncle Tom

Uncle Tom (2020)
9/10
Needs a little fixing
5 December 2020
First, I did not catch all the dialogue because the "music/noise" was so loud it drowned out some of the words. I hate having to back up to try to relisten in hopes of catching the words, so I don't. And my high tech TV emphasizes the voices and I still couldn't catch everything. Next, just who are these people! They must be identified when they first appear and a couple times more along the way. Waiting until the end was not useful. Turn down, or off, the music/noise. Next, tell us who is speaking. These should be givens in any docu or movie or TV show, etc. I did give it a high rating anyway. I love the subject and it's a critical piece of work for the ages to educate. What I now appreciate is that two of Black men have since passed away and Larry has preserved them in this docu. They both deserve to be studied for generations. There are a couple other aged geniuses who will now live forever and be studied as well they should. Since I follow this issue, and follow Larry and others of his stature, I already know much of this. Still, it was great to watch them in this format and this docu will join my library of great film education.
