Member Movie Reviews Rachel R. Reviewed on 7/18/2011... Acting was superb on Ms. tyson's part. I don't know what percentage of the movie is true, but even if it's only 25% "real", it's worth seeing if you have any interest in the civil war/american slavery period or bible belt civil rights issues.
Very good family-movie-night type movie which should promote interesting discussions. Movie ReviewsThe Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman Joseph E. Blandford | 01/27/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "The product was as described and in good working condition. My wife was very satisfied with the product. It is a true story which we had seen in the past but we wanted it for our own personal library, which we hope our grand-children will view in the future." The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman Arnita D. Brown | USA | 01/23/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "In February, 1962, as the civil rights movement reaches Bayonne, Louisiana, a New York journalist arrives to interview Jane Pittman, who has just turned 110. She tells him her story dating back to her earliest memories before slavery ended, a long walk toward freedom, marriage to Joe Pittman, her adopted son Ned's work as an educator, helping to raise Jimmy, who returns as a civil rights worker, and her own decision to become involved in contemporary issues. In between the chapters of her life, the present-day struggles of Blacks in Bayonne. Cicely Tyson's performance as Miss Jane is magnificent. This is a very emotional and moving movie. A tale of incredible endurance and resilience."
