Question: Who was the man who hung himself in the end?
Mississippi Burning (1988)
1 question
Directed by: Alan Parker
Starring: Brad Dourif, Frances McDormand, Gene Hackman, Willem Dafoe
Other mistake: In one shot, during the lynching, the noose comes undone from the character's neck while he is hanging.
Trivia: At one point you see a fiery white supremacist leader, preaching to a rally and saying things like, "Every white, Anglo-Saxon, Christian one of us." The actor playing that role is Stephen Tobolowsky - a Polish name, and also almost certainly not Protestant (as the speaker would have meant when he said "Christian".).
