"Corsicana" A magnificent film inspired by the real life of Federal US Marshall Bass Reeves during 1875 - 1907.
Thank you Isaiah Washington! Finally seeing a quality film of a great lawman in a full feature film is a true pleasure! The writing, directing, acting and pacing of the scenes are perfect. We need the series now of Bass in his younger years and the growth.
As a kid I watched all these over the top white cowboys pictures with my grandfather. We always wanted to see the Black cowboys represented on the screen too and not relegated to stereotypes. My hometowns in Alabama, Louisiana, Virginia, Maryland were full of Black cowboys. We knew the real life stories of the famous Black cowboys Bass Reeves, Bill Pickett...and the fact that Black cowboys made up 1/3 of West in North America.
