Movie review Miss Evers’ Boys
The movie we watched is “Miss Evers’ Boys”. The main plot in the movie is based on the true story of the U.S. federal government’s Tuskegee medical study. The government forced doctors to do nothing for African Americans patients who have syphilis. The government wanted to study for non-treatment effects of syphilis. This movie use main character Miss.Evers’ point of view to tell the story. All events happened around Miss.Evers, what happened to her friends and what she knew. That makes the story more effective.
I don’t like the movie, because I don’t agree with the decisions the characters made and what the government did. Dr.Sam Brodus is the most disliked character for me. He should be the one who save people’s life, but what he did is like a killer. His action was to kill the 400 people for money! The most uncomfortable thing for me is at that time people had already found Penicillin to treat people who have syphilis. Miss.Evers knew what is happening, but she didn’t tell patients the truth. Her friends were the patients without any treatment, how could she keep silence? I also blame the government. If they had not had that plan to do the non-treatment syphilis research and had respected colored people then the thing worse like this would never have happened.
