Title: We're Disappointed!
Review: My Sallie Humble Elementary School 6th grade gifted class just viewed the video of "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry", after reading the novel by Mildred D. Taylor. We think that the movie was jumbled and confusing. There were scenes from the middle of the story in the beginning of the video and scenes from the middle of the story at the conclusion of the video. One would not know what was happening in the movie unless he/she had read the novel. We agree with another reviewer who said that they were eagerly awaiting Casey's retaliation towards Lillian Jean. We were so disgruntled when this scene was not included in the movie. The movie was a huge disappointment! Our class enjoyed the book so much and anticipated that the movie would capture our interest, also. It did not. Don't bother watching this movie.
