bilalkahlaoui My name is Bilal and I am 15 years old. Last week I watched the first episode of « Roots » a série realised by « History ». I thought this série would be like other documentary about slavery but I was wrong. This episode gave me a lot of emotions. To begin the way whose it filmed make it very realistic. We have the feeling to be in place of the main character who be catch and torture. In addition there are beatifull soundtracks and they play an essential job in the storyline. On the other hand I find some scene could be too violent for sensitive people. Otherwise I think there are not many places in film I was disappointed. To finish I am impatient to watch next episodes and I recommend you this amazing série if you want to know more about the conditions of the slave trade.

sachalmrc Hi, my name is Sacha, I'm 16 years old, I'm a french guy from Angers. I like watching History movies. Before I watch Roots, I though it was boring movie, without epic or moving scenes. The movie is about Kunta Kinte, the main character, who is captured by an african rival clan, and gave to British; we follow his history from Africa to The United States where he is sold.During the movie, Malacky Kirby and Forest Whitaker are awesome, their acting is very interesting and moving, they managed to transmit strong emotions, by their faces, how they speak. Ht emovie was realized Will Packer and Marc Toberoff in 2016. In general, I find the movie is well realized, but there are a little of low scene, a little boring.There are period where it's a little low. In return, the soundtrack is just amazing! The traditional songs are awesome, they are moving, they beautify the scenes. For me Roots is a wonderful, fabulous, moving and beautiful movie, but also with some slow scenes and a little boring. The African culture is incredibly well done. Finally I recommend this movie, I hope you'll like it.

ewanlechat Hello my name is Ewan Lechat i'm 16 years old and i'm student in high school namde chevrollier I this film is awesome because the scenes is fine for example the scene on the boat where the slaves dance and sing and the rebellions against the master. I also find thas his movie was too short and did not have time to explain the story well. There are scenes taht are too long and that does not serve for the story as the scene where there is the kunta kinte praying before sleeping the scenes where the slaves sing are fabulous because it shows their origin,and is also lively.

cedricpellon Hello I'm Cedric and I'm 15 years old, I'm french of Angers, I gonna do the most expressive review of a realistic movie of slave trade : « Roots ». So, to begin I gonna talk about disadvantage of the movie because I think it's too much violent, such as the scene on the boat where there are the heads of uncle Silla and other mens, for me it's violence for nothing because it's not important. I think there are many useless scenes such as the scene with Kunta kinte (main character) on the horse because, 5min after the escape he is catch again and i think there are no message behind this. Now the avantages, I think the movie is very well by acting by the story line, the film is realistic and impressive, to finish, I think it's a memorable adaptation of this period of history.
