FILM DESCRIPTION:
When a group of civil rights workers goes missing in a small Mississippi town, FBI agents Alan Ward (Willem Dafoe) and Rupert Anderson (Gene Hackman) are sent in to investigate. Local authorities refuse to cooperate with them, and the African American community is afraid to, precipitating a clash between the two agents over strategy. As the situation becomes more volatile, the direct approach is abandoned in favor of more aggressive, hard-line tactics.

Willem Dafoe and Gene Hackman are both so good. I sometimes forget how great this film was
Calling it B.S. the crusading FBI went into the swamp in suits!
The best part of this scene was the last line . . . . . "it was a war long before we got here." That line was profound, deep, and so true!!
Yes, it was.
The sight of suited men prepared to walk through such a wild environment is a powerful allegory of their tenacity to get to the bottom of the case no matter what it takes.
James French yes, great point
today that search party would be a problem .....
too many white males 🤷♂️( i disagree but )
Well yeah, two white boys went missing so gotta get to the bottom of things.
@@tequilashots875 whatever it is white man or for the back man. Tenacity is tenacity.
Oh by the way all your civil rights, abolition of slavery everything was done by white men. Blacks as a community never have ever wielded power that strong to change the policy of the country.
Do you think you’re giving me a history lesson or something I know my history Boo
This is a very difficult movie to watch but at the same time this is one of Gene Hackman"s best performances
He is formidable in this role. A true masterpiece of acting.
Yes, and l would extend that compliment to some other members of the cast as well.
Did you smile when you watched it? Did you?! Lol
an academy award for best cinematography of 1988
"It was a war long before we got here."
Truer words were never spoken.
A war is fought by two sides that wasn’t a war
Imagine the cast reading the script, “walk into the swamp”...
"Where are the water moccasins?"
Well gene is a Korean war vet so walking through swamp is nothing
@@QuarrellaDeVil my thought the entire time looking at this
I don't care what anyone says or thinks, this movie is FLAWLESS 👍
It's not entirely accurate but it still tells the truth about life in those days. Very sad movie.
Everyone's talking about the suits. It does show how the agents are out of their element, it also shows their dogged pursuit of the case, regardless of how uncomfortable it is, but also, I believe, it's just that this is the period. People wore suits back then--it wasn't always considered super-fancy dress wear, you just wore them to work every day, especially if you were in the FBI.
I suspect that FBI agents wandering through a swamp in suits and dress shoes is pure Hollywood. I seriously doubt that really happened. Neoprene has been around since the 1930s and I am sure the agents would have donned waders before going in the swamp.
80's movies were the best!
@No Where Man!...….Mmm, undoubtedly the 80's were a good time for films - but the 1970's is recognised by numerous film historians, critics, actors, directors etc as the most creative and 'groundbreaking' period. Films such as Taxi Driver, One flew over the cuckoos nest, The Last Picture Show, Badlands, Mean Streets, The Godfather, A Clockwork Orange, Apocalypse Now, The Exorcist, Breaking Away, Dirty Harry, Vanishing Point, Jaws and Chinatown completely transformed modern cinema.
The 1970's was a truly incredible period - a culmination of highly talented, individualistic film directors [such as the infamous 'New York School' - Scorsese, Coppola, Spielberg, Lucas and De Palma etc] much more 'adventurous' studios and a host of exceptional actors. One such was Jodie Foster who has gone on record as saying that the 1970's was the best ever time for film - and that many films of that period would almost certainly never have been made today.
@@thesoultwins72 SO TRUE.
@Big Hawn 😂😂😂 cellphones in the eighties? 😂😂😂 even the keys were metallic.
Teen wolf, Back To the Future, Monster Squad, The blob, Teen Wolf, Friday thr 13th. A few of The best!
@@thesoultwins72 70s 80s 90s and early 00s
Must've been hell walking around in a Mississippi swamp in a jacket, shirt, and tie ...
They shoulda walked in on the road the tow truck used!
The guide wanted them to get their fancy suits a little dirty first. Lol.
😂😂😂
Probably wanted to get their asap before any evidence could possibly be tampered with
LOL - yeah that's exactly what I was thinking.
Kel Meister for all we know the truck drove through the same spot where the men crossed.
What a brilliant score. The artificiality of synthesizers really makes an interesting contrast with the natural setting of the swamp.
Right on my man. It's such an underrated score. It really adds to the tension of the film.
'Every inch Mr Bird....'
Says and has his orders followed without even looking up.....that's a Bossman
I want to take a shower just from watching this.
Chubby Catfish yeah gross
I start itching all over.
And check my legs for bloodsuckers.
The soundtrack is killer, seems a little off putting at first but it totally fits
Totally agree. Check out the composer, Trevor Jones, he has done some fantastic work over the years.
I remember watching this when i was younger not knowing this really happened pure evil.
R bere Were you dropped on your head as a child? It’s literally based on the case of the murders of Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner.
skipperwarp9 yes I was...twice. the first time messed me up, but the second drop made me normal again. Also...I didn't say this movie was false...I said alot of the "historical" movies Hollywood puts out is fake brainwashing revisionism of history
Look at the power ward wields.....one hundred men at his request just like that.
Never play games with a government man.
"Not only do I have the guts, I have the authority!"
@@modularmuse remember his instructions concerning the owner of the hotel the fbi were staying in as well.
‘Buy it!’
Such a chilling score.
I was gonna say that
Mississippi Burning is a great great Movie. Although to fully appreciate this film you should watch a movie called Mississippi Murders as a prelude.
Why
@@mauriciorano7142 why!! because it tells the story about how the three civil rights workers came to be in Alabama and how they were going to get African Americans to register to vote.
We know what happened to these guys and the fbi investigation is where Mississippi B movie comes in after the local sheriffs dept found fa wrong with three young men being murdered.
Not necessarly. I watched without a prelude and it was awesome!
1:50 what's funny is that later in the movie they really do call in Navy reserves to help with the search
There's no crime worse than ruining a nicely pressed suit! Arrest those men!
Had to buy this DVD after seeing some of these clips; great movie.
One of my favourite films,, I'm going to have to watch it again.
Surrealistic white collars wading scene! This one HAD TO be filmed once in all cinema history!
The dry cleaner probably made enough to retire that day.
Powerful film, even in 2020
Lex Luther and the Green Goblin, working together to enforce the law?
Jigsaw is an FBI agent in this movie as well
LOLOL
Saying Mr Anderson
Willem dafoe's best movie and most historically significant! Pairing with gene hackman, absolutely brilliant
They wouldn't be able to do this today because they'd all have cellphones in their pocket.
Could not have picked two better people for those roles.
Um FILMAÇO, Defoe e Gene Hackma,arrasam!!
Shrek killed them for trespassing.
Shrek was a Grand wizard or cyclops?
I felt Dafoe represented Kennedy - perhaps Bobby Kennedy more than Jack, and Hackman represented LBJ.
Tremenda esta película!
From the comments you can really see the age difference and the lack of knowledge. A word of wisdom lives were lost to give you the opportunity that you have today.
@Llyod Dempster duhwee shuwaa!
You are wrong. It’s like they are invading the people’s space. Of course no one has a right to kill, that’s why we have laws. But do me a favor and walk thru a park in a dangerous neighborhood in NY and Chicago late at night. Now including certain areas in Seattle, and see how the inhabitants feel about you wading around their place
It’s a crime and the perpetrators should be prosecuted to the extent of the law
So why isn’t there hundreds of FBI prowling Chicago streets to stop the craziness there?
And the right still isn't safe. Certain people are trying to take it away.
@@ronaldrizzo5912 Because this was a federal crime and the DOG deals in federal cases, not state crimes. It's their job.
80s movies were the last real deal backgrounds
William Defoe was such a compassionate character in this movie. When he asked where the hate comes from I wanted to cry.
Took five years to solve the hunter lab top. Way to go fbi.
Different men, different time.
Ironic that a Native American would be leading the way...
So they could get close enough to tow the stationwag on away, but had to wade chest deep to get to it. Huh?
What if they found it on the opposite edge of the swamp from which they started? There's an entire 360 degree arc around the center of the swamp you know.
If there is any search party organized in your area, please stay home, you wont be of any use..
It's a movie
@@McShaggswell You'd think they would have skirted the dry perimeter of the swamp first, because it's not too easy to ditch a car deeper in the middle.
Great movie!
This music sounds like it belongs in Scarface
The song is soooooo eerie
1980s Synth. All the 80s movies had it. Very impactful indeed.
I'm not from Mississippi so I don't know but I think swamps really do make slide guitar blues sounds.
We had that same model station wagon. Very creepy
Now that is kind of ridiculous, marching through the Swamp in their suits.
RIP Director Alan Parker.
D'ya think the bill from the dry cleaners was high ?
This movie, The Accused, and Labyrinth... what more do you need?
And I thought Manchester had a rising damp problem.
The funny thing is that I am actually surprised that when they all walked around the swamp not one of them had drowned in the water that was pretty cool
The Green Goblin is a hero in this movie lol.
By saying Mr Anderson
What in the world were these white folk down in mississippi thinking and still thinking for the most part?
I just cant wrap my mind around why they thought the way they did and acted the way they did. They simply did not value a black persons life. And felt they were above them because they had white skin. I just finished watching the entire movie again. It just leaves me speechless everytime i watch it. I just dont get it. What goes around comes around. It just does. If you look up into the sky everything is on circles......
Thats just the way God made things. Do these people think they wont answer to our Lord for this kind of behavior because they are white? Wow! Were not far from finding out.
Sean Murphy the main reason why these people are like that is because they lost the civil War and along with that they lost slavery. The hatred is been handed down generation to generation. Also most poor whites we're fighting to keep the Confederacy while the rich whites who on the slaves and the plantation we're fighting to keep the slaves and the Confederacy. So the slaves freedom is a slap in the face them and for the record the Soutth was the first to attack so they had arrogance along with everything else.
That's how humans truly act.
You seem to be missing something: If there was a “Lord” none of this would have happened in the first place.
Because people who believe in God can believe in anything they want to.
Rachel K why do you say that?
Amazing movie! How in the world did that car get there?
The killers had access to heavy construction machinery. They buried the bodies in a dam with a dozer, so getting the car there wouldn't be a big issue.
I'm surprised the agent did not take out his gun from his pocket and he still used his gun he can still shoot bullets
Can only imagine the insects and parasites and creatures
Those are FBI agents, you don't have to imagine much.
In the swamp or in Mississippi? People haven't changed all that much to hear the media tell it.
@@ronniebishop2496 i was referring to the swamp, although today the FBI would fit right in with the swamp :)
bearcattony00 They sure would especially at the top.
Went into the swamp water with their suits.... Those things ain't cheap!
There's got to be not only just alligators but cottonmouth snakes in that swamp
It's ok. They had guns.
I remember hearing about this murder on the news and that kind of interested me
Back when the bureau actually stood up to lawbreakers instead of taking orders from them
Exactly!
why'd they have to walk through all that swamp when you could just drive up with a tow truck?
So they were able to get a truck to pull the car right next to dry land but they had to walk through swap to get there. I think that "guide" just didn't like police making them walk through that
Gators wasn't over populating the areas back then
Before Hugh Jackman & adamantium claws.....
There was Gene Hackman & straight razors.....
why this movie chopped into pieces in youtube?

Watch out for water moccasins and alligators I grew up in Louisiana.
And 100+lb snapping turtles..
Swamps of coastal Texas
They're in Mississippi you Nimrod!
Wasn't their car burned not sank in the swamp?
This scene just shows how we who are practical guys never like wearing a suit.
Daffoe la seriedad absoluta
do they really have to go into that swamp with suits???? lol
It was the still the time of the "G-Men" and J. Edgar Hoover, so yes they did.
Hoover set standards for government investigators and basically they had to be in suits at all times. The idea you could spot an FBI agent by his clothes comes from that era.
Very impractical as seen in the film, but the idea was that they were still willing to get dirty doing their job.
@@peterbanderas8184 good post!
It was the early 1960s, so yes. That’s just how it was in those days.
Even today they still have to go into swamps, it's about not leaving one stone unturned in the quest for evidence.
Back then, men did everything in a suit.
never seen this movie. At first I thought I was watching a Kids In The Hall sketch.
I liketothink William Defoe is the same FBI agent in a universe crossover with Boondock Saints.
I'm surprised there were no fish inside that car.
There would probably be more leeches than fish in that swamp.
I would be looking out for snakes!!
@@stephenolan5539 I was thinking catfish or carp
Nice suits!
So there wasn't any boats available
That was a collaboration of local folks down there in that state
No waders just stomping through the swamp.
Gene’s best movie
I worked in Mississippi,big gators and bugs,cool bats like with 4 1/2 foot wing span I had one who live withe he would eat the bugs and was like a pitbull.He was awesome... 💯
I wonder how many black life got eaten by the swamp....too much to ask neh
9 black bodies (men/boys) were found in the 2 months it took to find the 3 civil rights workers. the fbi had widened their search all over mississippi... 3 of those bodies were recent enough that they were identified. two 19 year olds murdered together by the klan, they would convict someone 43 years later for that one. the other a body of a 14 year old boy named herbert oarsby. thousands of black people were murdered in the south, and no-one ever charged with a crime. when the police and politicians are klan you just disappear no questions asked.
@@tomitstube Damn
Koena: A bunch.....a lot of brave souls.....killed by cowards.
At least 10,000
How sad, Defoe now is deep in the swamp
Ben jamin 84 ?
@@JohnDoe-vz7bn spirit cooking, Abramovic 😵😠
Shout out to Mr. Bird.
Surely the FBI dress code doesn’t have to be in place when they are searching a swamp !
why would you wear a suit if you knew you would be trampling through the muddy woods and a freaking swamp? I guess it makes it seem more "dramatic"
Men in full dress suits walking through the bayou and the hot southern weather. We’re did our sense style go after the 60s.
Is a big swamp!! Every inch Mr!!!
Frogs don't chirp like that in the broad sun -- anywhere.
.
I'm suprise they were not attacked by alligators or that they could still find the bodies intact. I believe Gators were endangered at this point in time (Gators were listed as endangered in 1973, this happened in 63-64). If this happened nowadays those bodies would have been eaten by now, depending on how long they had been in the swamp (the three civil rights workers were found 44 days after their deaths).
Werent the bodies buried in a construction site?
@@rickyray2794Yes
The bodies were buried, they were not into the water
Walking into the swamp in suits, yah sure.
I mean, they couldn’t get some waders?
This was the 1960s.
@@Kitiwake They had waders in the 1960s.
Filmaço!!!!
Excellent movie. Great job. Gentlemen
Ain't no way I'm getting my suit dirty for this
imagine wading in that nasty swamp
Poor Mr. Byrd XD
A great job in a small role.
Mississippi swamp hot and humid as all hell and they wear suits ?
WHY, did they have to wade to this place if the tow truck could get in there on hard ground??? Best movie and you couldnt make it today for obvious reasons..
I hope the water moccasins got paid extra for this
SYMBOLISM
this is a funny way to go about it, all walking single file thru the swamp
Frogs don't croak in the daytime. Sorry, sound man.
