After Billy Jack in sentenced to four years in prison for the "involuntary manslaughter" of the first film, the Freedom School expands and flourishes under the guidance of Jean Roberts. The utopian existence of the school is characterized by everything ranging from "yoga sports" to muckracking journalism. The diverse student population airs scathing political exposes on their privately owned television station. The narrow-minded townspeople have different ideas about their brand of liberalism. Billy Jack is released and things heat up for the school. Students are threatened and abused and the Native Americans in the neighboring village are taunted and mistreated. After Billy Jack undergoes a vision quest, the governor and the police plot to permanently put an end to their liberal shenanigans, leaving it up to Billy Jack to save the day. In this film, I didn't think that Billy was quite as effective with catching the bad guys as he was in the first film. It seemed that he took a more subtle approach while being in protective mode. But I loved Sacheen Littlefeather's role along with the way that he continued to defend the Indians' actions and rights. The way that she guided him through that long vision quest when he was chose to do some real sole searching of himself.<br/><br/>In the long run, this sequel just barely made it to respectability. If it wasn't for Sacheen Littlefeather's role in this one, I don't think it would have even made it to the big leagues. But…… anyways…… this is why I gave this one a 5 out of 10. As pointed out elsewhere we see Billy Jack in court having a flashback to his Vietnam days. In the two previous films his character was said to have been an Ex-Green Beret, yet he is wearing the insignia of the 101st Airborne "Screaming Eagles," a completely different outfit and not as tough. The Movie starts out with Jean in the hospital where she is recovering from several gunshot wounds received in a "Kent State" type scenario with her school the target of mean cops and militia. Billy has been critically wounded and does not save the day. The local native Americans intervene and put a stop to it. Jean is seen trying to walk again and apparently makes a miraculous full recovery, as can we see in the next Billy Jack film: "Billy Jack goes to Washington." Laughlin used his Billy Jack films to show his protest of his political stance on many things as well as injustice. Here we see a "Mi Lai" type atrocity and the shooting of unarmed citizens & students by armed police and Militia at the school. I found it pretty boring.
Wounded and hospitalized, Jean Roberts (<a href="/name/nm0852255/">Delores Taylor</a>), a teacher at Freedom School, an alternative school for troubled youth on a Native American reservation in Arizona, describes to reporters and writers (in flashbacks) the events that followed the arrest, trial, and release of half-Indian and ex-Green Beret Billy Jack (<a href="/name/nm0490871/">Tom Laughlin</a>), whose attempts to prevent the abuse of Freedom School's students resulted in several deaths. After serving four years of a 5-15 year sentence for involuntary manslaughter, Billy returned to the reservation and to Freedom School, but the troubles started up again. The Trial of Billy Jack is the third movie in the Billy Jack series, preceded by <a href="/title/tt0061420/">The Born Losers (1967)</a> (1967) and <a href="/title/tt0066832/">Billy Jack (1971)</a> (1971) and followed by <a href="/title/tt0075754/">Billy Jack Goes to Washington (1977)</a> (1977) and <a href="/title/tt3406608/">The Return of Billy Jack (1986)</a> (uncompleted). The screenplay was written by independent film-maker Tom Laughlin (under the pen name Frank Christina) and his wife Delores Taylor (under the pen name Teresa Christina). While Jean is on the phone with the governor, the military surrounding the school open fires on the students. Jean rushes outside, screaming for the military to stop, but she is shot in the abdomen. Danny (<a href="/name/nm0093066/">Michael Bolland</a>) is shot in the back. When Carol (<a href="/name/nm0446893/">Teresa Kelly</a>) rushes to Danny, she is also shot. Suddenly, a stream of torches is seen approaching the school. The local Indians place themselves between the school and military, reminding them that the school is under reservation protection and that the military will have to shoot them first. Then an odd thing happens. Bunches of the military begin throwing down their guns and joining the Indians. Meanwhile, Billy lies near death from his bullet wounds. He is gifted with a vision from the maiden (<a href="/name/nm0251096/">Sandra Ego</a>) who informs him that he has not yet reached level four and must return, along with Carol, to carry on the teachings. Jean considers closing the school, but Billy and the students convince Jean not to give up. In the final scenes, Jean and Carol, both in wheelchairs, are wheeled into a church where all the students pay tribute to Jean. As the camera pans away from the church, a postscript reads 'Some may feel this picture is too violent, but the real messages which inspired this fictionalized version were a thousand-fold more violent for those innocent people who were its victims. Rather than direct anger at this re-creation, please channel your energy toward those officials who either ordered, condoned, or failed to take action against these events and perhaps toward ourselves for also turning our backs and letting such events occur unchallenged. All we are saying is…give peace a chance. ' When confronted with a slap, a Level 1 person will respond with a similar punch, showing that he is immediately pulled down to an animal level, reacting on instinct. A Level 2 person does not react with brute violence but easily forgets what he was doing and so is pulled away from his own center. A Level 3 person cannot be swayed by another person to react, thus he is his own person. How a person at Level 4 would react to a slap is not disclosed. a5c7b9f00b Batman: Arkham Knight full movie in hindi free download mp4Wedding Bells: Part 2 full movie download 1080p hdGuns in the Land full movie kickass torrentDead Unanimity 720pRiddick torrentFaster! download movieshindi Ben 10Ghostbusters dubbed hindi movie free download torrentBar the Big Boss full movie download mp4Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Slingshot tamil dubbed movie free download
