"3 Sovereigns" way beyond 5 star entertainment! A MUST-SEE!
|
Lord,have mercy on us all!!
This film came recommended by a friend and I am writing this review angry,incensed,upset,sad and still in disbelief at what I just saw in American Playhouse's PBS DVD release of the 1985 "Three Sovereigns for Sarah." Not only is this story totally true,based from the original transcripts of the horrific Salem Witch Trials of 1692,but the acting done by legends Vanessa Redgrave,Kim Hunter and Phyllis Thatcher as the three accused sisters, is one of the most impressive bits of female ensemble acting I have ever seen!
If you are familiar with the famous play "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller concerning the havoc that little girls played in 1692 Salem,Massachusetts that resulted in the senseless and unjust death of twenty people accused of witchcraft, then this story will feel quite uncomfortably familiar.I say uncomfortably because Miller's work,though extremely compelling and was made into a successful film,[[ASIN:B00013F2S6 The Crucible]] starring Daniel Day-Lewis ([[ASIN:B000YA9R3C There Will Be Blood]]),was historical fiction."Three Sovereigns" IS NOT! You will be accurately transported to 1692 Salem and you will see and hear the accused and their accusers in a way that Miller could only hint at.
I would love right now to type a ton of SPOILERS, but I won't.I must say, that anyone who feels that religion and politics should be mingled,I would challenge them to view this film to see WHY the two don't mix, no matter HOW strong your belief system is."Three Sovereigns for Sarah" shows us the terrible plight of people living in a Theocratic Rule in Colonial America as Massachusetts was in 1692.This film is not without hope, though, and certain restitutions eventually are made.RENT THIS,BUY THIS,BORROW THIS or STEAL IT (no not really!) in order to see this.
I would also suggest viewing the 2006 documentary [[ASIN:B000KLQUV2 Jesus Camp]] and [[ASIN:B000NIVJH2 Deliver Us from Evil]] to see other films that will boil your blood.Ugh-I'm spent! |
