Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

ShangLuda Admirable film.

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

pinonaxel I am a 15 years old student and I was expecting this movie would be a little boring but actually I discovered a movie which is really well put together and realistic. I think the actors played well because, for example, we can see all the emotions on the face of Kunta Kinta, who is an African caught by his enemies and turn into a slave, who is the famous actor Malachi Kirby. The pain, sadness and all the other emotions are visible on the actors' faces, it's almost real ! There is one scene which left a mark in my memory. This scene in the ship was really impressive and breathtaking. The soundtrack was very admirable in different scenes (for example the scene in the ship). The songs in native languages were splendid and helped to be involved. The special effects were also fine and well done. But warning, this movie is violent so I let you know that is not a movie for young child and it could be hard for some persons. The end was a little flat because many informations arrive in the same time. To end this review, I could say that "Roots" is a good movie and I advise you to see it if you want to know how was the slavery in the past.

sebastienraimbaultgarnier Hello dear reader, my name is Sebastien Raimbault and I'm a student in Chevrollier. I would like you talk about '' roots'' through a review. Before watching this movie, I expected a typical movie about slavery but this movie is different because its storyline is very original and superb. This movie relates the storyline of Kunta Kinte, an African warrior captured by a rival clan to be sold in America to become slave. The actor's name of Kunta Kinte is Malachi Kirby and his performance is legendary and emotional, it's a good future actor with a big potential. The movie takes place in the Africa's landscapes and it's beautiful. the sound track is very outstanding because there are many African's song which are awesome and beautiful. A personally, I think is a good movie for people who love historic movie, I had like this movie.

mouillearthur For me, being 15 years old, I thought this film would be average, a simple movie on slavery. However, the movie was splendid and well put together. ''Roots'' (2016) is an adaptation of an older series. We follow an African man sold to slavery in the America of the 18th century. For the acting, I especially like how Malachi Kirby show his emotion in his role of the lead character. We see is panicking, troubling. The role of Forest Whitaker is just as notable when he is speaking, he shows his emotions to Kunta. The soundtracks of the movie are very fine and show emotions to the spectator. Differently, I especially like the game of languages, the Mandika and the English. Finally, for the scenes, some are shocking and others were excellent.

Luce What a lost opportunity to illustrate African history accurately. Portrayal of Muslim women in "bikinis" is farcical, and the ignoring of indigenous religions in favour of the easier portrayal of Islam is a pity but unsurprising. I was hopeful, considering the controversy surrounding the first TV series, but sadly disappointed. School children the world over have been sold another misrepresentation of history.
