In the original, Missy and Kizzy are older. Missy tells Kizzy that slavery is the natural order of things. She calls Kizzy a friend but doesn’t see her as equal to herself. She teaches Kizzy to read and write. Later when it’s discovered that Kizzy has written a pass for Noah, who escapes and is captured, Missy is mad that Kizzy would risk being sold away from her to help Noah. She literally says that Kizzy picked Noah when she could have lived happily with her. So even as Kizzy begs for Missy’s help as she’s being loaded in a wagon, Missy turns her back. One of the most heartbreaking scenes in the original (it may be in this one but I’ve not watched this version) is Kizzy’s mother begging on her knees for the master to not sell her child. She begs the master to whip her but not sell her away from her parents. Madge Sinclair should’ve won the Emmy for that scene alone.
That scene is something that as a mama I can’t watch. I’m watching this one after seeing it in 2016, but it’s devastating in the 1977 version Two other movie scenes come to mind: (TW for more separation and more racism) the first is in Schindler’s List where they’ve just examined the women, and the group who is to go to a forced labor camp are acting relieved and laughing…. And then you see two huge truckloads of children. They’re all waving - it’s like they think they’re on a fun ride. Of course the women are realizing…. These little children are NOT going to the forced labor camp. They show a semi-aerial shot where you can see both trucks driving away, and this mass of women start screaming and running after the trucks. The second is in Rabbit Proof Fence where some white Australian guys come to take the family’s children to one of their re-education/training camps for the biracial children. They force these three girls into the car while their mothers are running and trying to grab at the car as it’s leaving, all of them screaming - except for the elderly woman who is hitting herself in the head with a rock (which I have since heard, is a funerary ritual. That grandmother thought she would never see the girls again…) Why do I mention these? BELLE AND KIZZY’S 1977 SEPARATION HITS ME WORSE. I think it’s how it’s shot with the close shots of their faces, and the specific things Kizzy screams - knowing full well her parents are powerless. Some days I really hate people. 😭
@@RachelleLeigh-tk5oc YEAH. I was 9 or 10 when I saw the 1997 version. I think it was the first episode - the auction. To this day I remember saying to my dad “They’re selling those people like animals!!” I think I made the animal connection bc I was a MASSIVE horse lover - and I had seen in movies, potential buyers looking at a horse’s teeth. The people in THAT scene were prying the Africans’ mouths open and looking at THEIR teeth
I've just seen a clip of the part where Kizzy was sold as a teen. I cried when it got to the part where her mom was pleading to the owner. So sad & horrific. 😢
At least it didn't have any spit in it this time! Seriously though, it was just a mistake, she just figured that it was for her. It's not like she snatched it away from his lips or something.

....and today they kill each other over drug turf in every major city in america and no one bats an eye........................... democrat control then and now.
Slavery has been going on forever and still goes on to this day. It was not just blacks that were enslaved through history but every race has at some point.

this is my first clip I've seen of the remake. For some reason it doesn't seem as authentic as the 1977 miniseries. It feels too modern and less authentic to the 18th century
I've only seen clips of both, so can't really judge. However, in this modern version I noticed that Kunta has a West African accent while Belle & Kizzy have Southern US accents. I think it's an improvement to the original, since Kunta was a newer slave (and English is his 2nd language) while Belle & Kizzy grew up speaking English as slaves.
@@michaelbruvolt4221 I've seen more clips of both the old & new versions. I agree that the old version is great and watching it now, there's a nostalgic feel to it esp if the vid has low resolution. The new version is more raw & gritty in some parts. I watched the "slave revolt" scene from the ship and the one where Kunta was whipped because he didn't want to accept his slave name of Toby. It was gory & bloody. I've seen many posters say that they watched the old version in school in their 4th or 5th grade. The new version won't be allowed for viewing in elementary schools because of the violence. I know that the new version wanted to be more realistic but it's a pity that because of the gore, it can't be shown to minors at the time when they need to learn more abt the horrors of slavery.
I know this is a way different time. But you gotta tell me you can’t get a stain out of a dress and the only reason that you would give it to people back in the day was because it was stained.
The complaints about this the complaints about this Roots is it drastically played down the historical cruelty and suffering of the slaves. Just not to offend the the white revisionest.

Are you from the South? The reality is, that little white girl would not have been "popped in the mouth" for disrespectful behavior towards a slave@@PreacherLevi
Actually, if you read the Holy Bible, GOD (Yahweh) doesn't have a problem with slavery. He even allowed his chosen people to become slaves because of their disobedience. You can believe what you want, but I don't have a desire to worship gods---especially those who think it's okay to kill and enslave an ethnic group. I believe we don't need gods to tell us what's right from wrong; we can figure that out by ourselves.
"Missy" is a different person in this 2016 version. In the original she seems to be "playing" with Kizzy and manipulating her but in the 2016 version she sometimes seems like a genuine friend. There didn't seem to be any malice behind "stealing" the drink.
People forget that there were probably lots of southerners who were against slavery but couldn't do anything about it. They were squeezed between defending themselves from an invading northern army and the slavery issue they detested.

I guess whatever you worship teaches you to think of yourselves as above others and to laugh when people go through misfortune. 0 moral character. How old are you? I've never known adults to behave in such a manner, only school aged children. You don't even know who God actually is, so until you do, you are the one in danger of hell.
The slave girl probably thinks this is normal and doesn't realize how wrong slavery is. It isn't until they run into the preacher that it puts everything in light and starts to question the whole situation. The white girl's innocence prevents her from realizing how bad it is for her slave playmate and just thinks it is normal. You may think there is no excuse for racism but it is how children often think when they have grown up surrounded by evil. I haven't seen any of this but that is my impression of this scene.
