Rosewood incident

 

             There had been very little known about the Rosewood incident, because for over fifty years it had been covered up as if it had never happened, so most of the information about Rosewood is stories or hearsay. Even though little is known about the Rosewood incident, Gregory Poirier the writer and John Singleton the director of the movie Rosewood both used what little we do know about the Rosewood incident very well. The names in the movie were almost all the real names of the people who were involved in the rosewood incident, a few; Fannie Taylor, Sarah Carrier, and Sheriff Walker, were All names that were known to be real. The dates in the movie were also extremely accurate, from December 29 nineteen twenty two to January 7 nineteen twenty three. The events and the order in which they happened were also exceptionally accurate, from the date of the reported attack on Fannie Taylor to the day when the train evacuates the remaining refugees to the neighboring town of Gainesville, were all the same as the actual incident. The attention to detail in this movie helps to create a genuine 1920's feel, which is said to be a very accurate portrayal of that time. Things like the prohibition of alcohol, growth in popularity of automobiles, the Ku Klux Klan rallies and parades in southern and northern towns of America, were some of the happenings during the 1920's that you could easily pick out in this movie. During the 1920's the United States foreign policy was considered to be Isolationism, which is when a country is resistant to political and economic entanglements with other countries. Therefore, the movie shows no contact with other countries. .
