"The fight is never about grapes or lettuce. It is always about people." Cesar Chavez |
:: Sunday, May 09, 2004 ::
47th San Francisco International Film Festival By Sharon Mizota
His role as charismatic labor organizer Joe Kenehan in Matewan is a perfect example. John Sayles' 1987 classic about the fight to bring the union to the coal miners of 1920s West Virginia is gritty and big-hearted. You root for the little guys, the scrappy coal miners vs. the monolithic coal company and its piggish thugs, but not without first examining every facet of their struggle. Like many Sayles films, it's a tapestry of larger forces -- capitalism, greed, racism, immigration, religion, friendship, and courage -- distilled into a single, explosive historical moment.------------------------------------------- posted 7:40 AM :: reference link ::
