You consider that film a bad contribution to that topic? I completely disagree.

 

It's a comic book.

Because there are good people on both sides, right, pubs?

 

Or rather because characters and situations so obviously set up to elicit gut reactions amount to bad propaganda, regardless of what cause it hopes to serve.

The ultimate goal of the movie was really just to make people aware of a forgotten atrocity. a reclamation of suppressed history.  Mission accomplished.

But making the sacrifice of hardening and agitating the fronts. That goal cannot stand alone.

What was the context of John Williams scoring this movie? Did he like the story, was it for some friend, was he bored, was he... short on cash?

 

If memory serves, it was the same motivation that fuelled his interest in other projects, like HOME ALONE, FAR & AWAY or THE PATRIOT -- his desire to compose music in an idiom he hasn't really explored much before, this time gospel music. Hence his swift willingness to step in when Marsalis was rejected. I think it was something like that, others may fill in with more detail. Although -- to be fair -- the kind of gritty Americana he's doing here, he's done plenty of other times before, including the other "Jon Voight-as-single-white-man-in-black-community-with-troubles" film CONRACK.
