...love this movie, much above any others I have watched before.
I knew I had seen this before, think it was either on PBS back in the 80s, or on one of the movie channels like HBO, something like that. But this movie astounded me, it shook something in me that I never forgot it.
A true and honest period piece from 1972, Sounder told the story of an African-American sharecropper family back in the 1930s. The movie is warm, vibrant, and just makes you feel good all over; well, it did me. Both Paul Winfield and Cicely Tyson make the film very believable, and so much of it rang very true of the era back then. Not an element of racism is found or portrayed, which makes this very refreshing. There is not one thing I could spell wrong with it. Just that I love it. So very enjoyable. Worth watching again and again, over and over. Not disappointing one bit.
A recommended watch. Ten of ten stars.
