Anyone see the film Mississippi Burning?
In that film Gene Hackman's character threatens a Klanman with hanging to get him to confess. Most people who saw the film didn't hate Gene Hackman's character for doing so

I saw that film back in the 80s, so it was a good 20 years ago. Don't exactly recall the scene you're referring to. Were they actually choking him?
I might confess to all kinds of things to avoid being executed.
Anyway, I love Willem Dafoe. Even when he chooses questionable roles (Spiderman, Streets of Fire), he really gives it his all. |

No they were not actually choking him but they did have the rope around the Klanmans' neck.
Here is one scene

| Ward and Anderson resolve their personal conflict and become singleminded in resolving the central enigma. Characteristically, Anderson's violence is exploited at this point in the film - a heavy is hired to extract information from the Mayor with threats of castration; a mock execution is staged to frighten one of the criminals into revealing the truth; Anderson goes after the Deputy with a razor blade and we, the audience are with him cheering him on but, thank God, the film does not end there. |

Did I hate him...no. Did I think he was wrong...yes. See, easy as that.
The thread title should really be the same as the poll question,,,but I guess that wouldn;t give you the answer yu want. |

I don't see why the questions must be the same. Nevertheless I would change the poll question if I could.
Did you see the film? |
