walter m @Harlequin68 08/17/2013 "Native Land" is a rousing call to action, featuring dramatized vignettes of true stories of those who risked everything to fight for their right to freedom of speech in organizing labor against big business during the Great Depression. Of special interest is the fact that the movie does not stop there, as it is also for an integrated brotherhood, open to all, while also warning about the dangers of the terrorist Ku Klux Klan. As you can see, "Native Land" is a movie that is well ahead of its time that goes beyond the accomplished way it is filmed with more than its fair share of suspenseful scenes. And as much as things have changed for the better in the decades since this movie was made, it is still relevant today as unions can still be important in this day and age where most of the workers are unorganized and issues like a working wage and health care remain paramount. Plus, Paul Robeson narrates and sings. How cool is that! See more 01/08/2012 Historically important, dated, but with a theme that is still pertinent today. See more 06/10/2010 interesting semi-documentary. its on the far left end, politically, especially for the time. some beautiful photography. but its very skewed in one direction, even if they do it the the service of good ideas (civil rights and such). See more 11/19/2008 A total piece of "FEAR THE AUTHORITIES" propaganda. The totally disjointed composition keeps you from getting attached to any of the bit-part characters, and it has a crummy downer ending that's totally uninspiring. You're not missing much if you skip this. See more Read all reviews
