SkyRo P "Son of the South," featuring Lucas Till and Lucy Hale, is inspired by true events and centers on Lucas's character, who bravely diverges from his family's ingrained beliefs and their white-centric agenda. Instead, he chooses to advocate for civil rights and lend his support to his African-American friends and others he has formed meaningful connections with, refusing to succumb to the negativity that surrounds him. Till delivers a remarkable performance in this film, and it's disheartening that his star power hasn't significantly increased since its release. The film has garnered a positive reception from audiences, myself included. However, from a critic's perspective, I noticed some plot inconsistencies and writing issues that could have been refined or reworked. Despite these shortcomings, the movie is still quite enjoyable, thanks to competent direction that makes it worth watching. I would recommend "Son of the South" to anyone seeking a film that provides some entertainment and a thoughtful narrative, even if it isn't a standout in the long run. It’s the kind of movie that you might forget about until it resurfaces, but it certainly offers a decent viewing experience for the time being. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/25 Full Review Pablo Y La trama se centra en los episodios ocurridos en Alabama y Mississippi bajo el contexto de la lucha por los derechos civiles y el fin de la segregación racial, durante la década de 1960. Estos sucesos históricos sirven como telón de fondo para narrar la historia del activista Bob Zellner, así como otras figuras relevantes de la época. El enfoque particular de la película consiste en mostrar estos hechos desde un aspecto más relacionado con la intrahistoria de sus protagonistas, más sociológico, evidenciando la idiosincrasia reinante en aquella época y los problemas derivados de la misma, centrándose en situaciones concretas de ese periodo histórico combinadas, lógicamente, con la estructura argumental elaborada ex profeso para el film. El resultado es una experiencia entretenida y respetuosa a grandes rasgos con la historia real, pero que, en esencia, constituye un eslabón más en el subgénero de biopics de personajes relacionados con causas justas y nobles. Es una verdadera lástima que la película adolezca de un ritmo frenético presente desde su inicio y no cuide su desarrollo con más pausa, detalle y disfrute para el espectador. Pese a ello, el mensaje del film se transmite bien: es claro y potente, y no tiene miedo de alzar la voz en los momentos críticos. En conclusión, se trata de una cinta bien elaborada, que cuenta con caracterizaciones decentes y cumple correctamente con su cometido, por lo que es recomendable su visionado.
