Free State of Jones is an American historical drama based on true events from the darkest period of American history. So stories from the time of the Civil War continue to be a fertile field for filmmakers. Director and screenwriter Gary Ross was drawn to the story of Confederate soldier Newton Knight, who deserts and starts a rebellion against his former "employer". The extraordinary Matthew McConaughey, who last left his mark with the films Interstellar and The Sea of Trees and the True Detective series, took on the role of a real-life hero.
Free State of Jones is a true story that follows a Confederate hero Newton Knight, who is fed up with the fact that poor and ineffective people are putting their heads up for sale so that the wealthy can continue to live in their mansions. He empathized with the rebel, deserter and modern "Moses" who leads the people towards freedom Matthew McConaughey, which critics have (justifiably) eaten out of his hands in recent years. Let's just remember his performances in movies Interstellar and Dallas Health Club and series A true detective.
