Cruel and Unusual Death
 Women of the Movement / int_1e584efa
comment
Cruel and Unusual Death: Like the real-life murder, Emmett is brutally beaten, tied and dragged by car, wrapped with a barb wire and strapped to a cotton gin, burned, have his right eye forcefully torn out, and shot in the head before being dumped in the river. The brutality of the murder left his body and especially his face horrifically disfigured upon recognition. And it is all shown on-screen.

comment
Would Hurt a Child: Roy and J.W. do not care that Emmett is just a teenage boy. All they see in him is just someone who is not equal to them because of his skin color.

Stock Footage: Following Emmett's birth, there is footage of the U.S. Supreme Court declaring that segregated schools are unconstitutional (in 1954), burning crosses and parades of the Ku Klux Klan and black demonstrations to put an end to segregation.

comment
The Savage South: Mamie is very worried that Emmett has to go to Mississippi, knowing how racially intolerant it is there compared to Chicago, and advises her son to keep a low profile. His lynching and murder there prove her right.

The '50s: The bulk of the story takes place just before and then after the murder of Emmett in 1955.

Second Love: Gene Mobley is Mamie's boyfriend in 1955, and he's not Emmett's father. In Real Life, Emmett's father Louis Till was executed by the U.S. Army in 1945 after being found guilty of sexually assaulting two white women and murdering a third.
