"TILL" was powerfully and extraordinarily done in terms of actors, accuracy, and such. The movie captures reasonably accurately and precisely what occurred, and does an honorable job of capturing and conveyed this horrific episode in history. What happened to Emmitt Till in 1955 in Mississippi has haunted me for years and years... It was and is very important to make this very well known to persons across the country and the world, including in the form of this greatly-done movie. (There were a couple of detailed things I had not known, such as the touching fact that Emmett gave his Mom his wrist-watch before getting on the train.)
As careful research of facts has revealed, the initial horror is then added to by that cashier-female person's total manufacturing of lies about what Emmitt really did and said in the store. What we do know is that he 'whistled' at her outside the store. Maybe while alive that shop-girl person will publicly tell the truth about what Did and what Did Not happen. She owes that to the family, the nation, and the world at large.
And then the so-called "jury" renders a not-guilty verdict. Horror is added to horrors again and again over time as the murderers openly admit their crimes AND GET PAID FOR DOING SO!
Some of the other offenses are left out in interest of time and pacing, such as how, after Emmitt's brutal torture and murder, Emmitt's Dad's military record was grossly misrepresented by the southern Caucasian crowd in order to undermine what was done to Emmitt Till.
The way African Americans were (to some extent still are?) referred to and regarded in "Mississippi," and how such courageous and gracious people are referred to with name-calling and such was and is stingingly horrific. -- in 1955 it was, and still is done by small tiny-minded persons who were bred, fed, and indoctrinator in these prejudiced ways and mind-sets. (This poisonous 'treatment of' and name-calling of Black fellow human beings is part of the reason for 9 stars instead of 10, even though it was historically accurate -- I just couldn't stand it or abide it.)
One of the most profound and powerful statements in the whole film was the quote of what Emmitt Till's Mom so aptly said: "WHATEVER HAPPENS TO ANY OF US, ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, HAD BETTER BE THE BUSINESS OF US ALL." - Emmett Till's Mother, Mamie - her revelation after the incident and trial.
