Amazement. The film Eyes on The Prize: The Civil Rights Movement is so inspiring. I view an assortment of people mentioned and featured in the film as heroes, such as Amzie Moore, Virginia Durr, Linda Brown, Mose Wright, Emmit Till, Mamie Till Brady, E. D. Nixon, Rosa Parks, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. These people stimulated great and innovative ways triggered towards ending the damaging and unjust ways of life of that time era. I am always amazed when I watch Civil Rights Movement films. The movement was so affective and intense. It is a true exhibit that when you or a group of people are immensely passionate about an issue or issues and you have the option of challenging the antagonist for change, change may be granted. The sorrow I witnessed in the eyes of people in the film forces me to understand more in depth and have a feel for how people experienced the struggle for civil rights. The fact that these people are so sorrow, yet are empowered with boundless hope is so heartbreaking and inspiring. I cannot even begin to think how scary it was to live in that era of inequality and discrimination. Followed by that, the conscious fear of deaths: murder, lynching, fires, along with the KKK parading would install on-going haunting worries.
