Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

dolores-17 I truly liked this movie and the actors involved with it. I believe that they each gave very strong and believable performances. I would like to know however, if the movie is based on an actual account. Is there more to the story than what we've been shown? It made me think of the outcome for the two lovers as well as the ones left behind. It would be satisfying to know if this has a further story to tell. Thanks for presenting this little piece of history it was enjoyable to watch and place yourself in the place of the characters. Both of the main characters were strong and I felt their passion as well as their search for one another. I hope they made it!

inp1908 I saw the movie late the other night on Black Starz and was really impressed. To me it falls in line with movies that I love like "Imitation of Life", "Feast of All Saints" and "Gone with the Wind"...yes, I know that is not "black cinema" but the movie embodies the first black Oscar Winner. I thought Unbowed was a great love story and I missed the opportunity to see it from the beginning but when it ended I was begging for more. Anyone know where this movie may be purchased? If it's on this site, forgive me as I have not been on this site before. What I wonder about the movie is if it was a novel or screenplay and where I can find the book if possible. What the movie also did was spark my interest in what had happened to the late actress Michelle Thomas who played a character in the film. She will be greatly missed. Anyone out there that has some insight to the film hit me back.

hotchocolett I am a Pettiford descendant of the Free African Americans who are also mixed with different Native American tribes from North Carolina that migrated to Virginia, New Jersey and out west. When I 1st turned to this movie it was on the western channel on cable with about 30 minutes left of it. Then I read what it was about I said to my daughter this movie could be about our family. So I set my TiVo to tape it in the middle of the night. I came home yesterday to watch it from the beginning and sure enough Michelle Thomas' character Anna's last name was Pettiford. This is a great movie and it shows some of our relationships with the red & white man. It also showed the class system back then. All in all myself and my 3 young daughters thought that it was a great movie and that everyone should see it! This movie also made me want to look more into my history. We have traced it back to the 1500's but their are a lot of pieces to the puzzle missing. Thank you for such an educating and entertaining experience Ms. Mildred Lewis! Paulette

awriter2dream This movie challenges ones mind to see racism from another perspective. It forces the issue of racism not on a black/white side of things, but an African American and Indian proportionally view.Both having the same feelings, both having two sides of understanding life, its balance for the future, and its weight on the past. Both predilection of learning what it means to be a citizen in a country bent on prejudice. Both facing prejudice from within the confines of the college they attend.An African American woman must learn to surpass the boundaries of those in her presence to accept the love whom she teaches. Her many admirers surround her in protection of her innocence one of whom she is engaged.A young Indian Chief must confront his own prejudices and those around him to find freedom among the free who persecute him because of his savage nature.Escape could lead to death. Will she follow him and leave behind all she had gained for the love of a savage and face unknown obstacles?The element of emotion between these two will absolutely stir you. the feeling of anger and hostility will ignite you. You'll fall in love with these two! Exceptional and very tastefully moving on both sides of the divide!!!!!Very Highly Recommended!!!!!!!!
