Review of Free State of Jones

Thoughts Before Watching This:
1. I like these kinds of stories.
2. Hopefully it has a lot of war.
3. There are tons of movies classified as war where basically nothing but drama happens.
4. The cast here is pretty interesting with Keri Russell and Sean Bridgers being the most unusual choices in my opinion.
5. I hope Matthew McConaughey is as great as he was in Interstellar.
6. Gary Ross has written and directed many well known films.
7. Of his I have only seen Pleasantville and The Hunger Games. The latter being the better of the two.
8. This is the only notable work out of two that Leonard Hartman has written for.
9. I really hope this isn't a slow burning talk it out all the time kind of movie.

Thoughts While Watching This:
1. Well it starts off with quite a bang.
2. Let's hope it doesn't stray too far from this momentum.
3. Man there is some serious chaos going on.
4. This kind of reminds me of the new Andrew Garfield movie coming where he didn't agree with violence.
5. Man this has no holds barred.
6. I wonder what will happen with them when the rebellion happens.
7. Ah man that has to be heartbreaking.
8. Oh wow that was a creative use of a time jump.
9. Dang some laws are just insane.
10. Okay that's a pretty cool scene.
11. This is really a unique way of telling such a story.
12. Poor girl.
13. I always like to think I would be a guy like Newt if I had been born in such times.
14. The dogs are not safe in this one.
15. Gugu Mbatha-Raw is just so lovely.
16. It's crazy seeing two people who have played pretty bad people playing good here.
17. This actually kind of reminds me of The Patriot (although I never fully finished this one) and Braveheart.
18. Of course he is afraid.
19. Yeah you put that man in his place.
20. There ain't no room for racism in the Free State of Jones!
21. Lord Farquaad is trying to take Shrek's swamp again.
22. Sorry time to be serious.
23. He really is right about them fighting a war that isn't really theirs.
24. Aww no that's sad!
25. Okay that just made my jaw hit the floor!
26. That was pretty savage!
27. Things are getting quite intense.
28. It looks like Joe Chrest is becoming more than just a background actor.
29. I hate people like that Chester fella.
30. Well that was sweet.
31. I swear racists are always trying to find a way around things.
32. Screw the KKK!
33. Why can't people just let others be happy?
34. Oh no please don't!
35. It was even worse than I expected...
36. Okay that's a small but beautiful moment.
37. That right there is why I will never trust the voting system.
38. If they voted today or in recent elections would they have stuck with the same?
39. I adored that ending.
40. That's how I would have been.

Thoughts After Watching This:
1. It's pretty long, but I was never bored.
2. The action was brutal when it happened and sometimes would happen without warning.
3. Matthew McConaughey was great and I really liked his character.
4. Gugu Mbatha-Raw is stunning as well as being a wonderful actress.
5. I couldn't believe the laws that they tried to create in those days.
6. I liked some actors that I never really cared for before.
7. Everything here is just so well done.
8. I definitely think it's worth the watch.
