White savior rubbish
2 September 2021
This movie is a white savior story about a guy called Bob Zellner (don't take note of the name, he introduces himself over 100 times in the movie).

It's very cheesy and poorly edited. The dialogue is really lacking. He has a few lines that he repeats over and over again. So many situations where people are mystified by the words "Bob Zellner, East Bruten, Alabama".

The real life Bob Zellner was involved on set and consulted on this movie. I can't help but feel that he is a politician and spent a little too much time beefing up his own profile by appearing as the perfect man in this movie.

I enjoy movies about Civil Rights but this one is devoid of any real content. I feel that there was a conflict between the director and the consultant. The conflict is that this is a movie that is supposed to be about civil rights so it should show the plight of those who are suffering, but at the same time, an infallible whiteman is at the center of it all.....what are we supposed to take away from that? He never appears to struggle despite being in difficult situation and always keeps a lid on things when others around him are struggling.

It's a silly movie that tells a bland story and a boring guy from East Bruten, Alabama.
