Synopsis: Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997)
Synopis: Bringing John Berendt’s international best-selling novel, MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL, to the screen must have been a challenge. The book is essentially an anecdotal travelogue of the fascinating city of Savannah, Georgia. The filmmakers decided to add a character, John Kelso (well played by John Cusack), a writer from New York, who’s meant to represent Berendt’s point of view. They also put most of the focus of the narrative on the murder trial of local millionaire socialite Jim Williams (the redoubtable Kevin Spacey). This is slightly problematic in that Kelso, a mere observer, now becomes the central character of the film. But director Clint Eastwood (straying from his usual milieu, and, atypically, not appearing the film) and writer John Lee Hancock still manage to capture the quirky spirit of the book. They’re greatly aided in this regard by the lush images of cinematographer Jack N. Green and the detailed work of production designer Henry Bumstead, who create just the right atmosphere for the small city and its environs. The strong cast, including actual Savannah residents such as sparkplug transsexual the Lady Chablis, makes the film an enjoyable idyll in a strange yet welcoming place.Features: Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997)

Cons: It doesn't have any.
Ok HI!,
This movie makes me appriciate the beauty of life more. The movie is set in GA with lovely views. Makes me want to live there! I liked the southern accents the actors have in this movie. I don't think I want to judge this movie on any spirtual basis, because it wasn't made with morals in mind. I believe it was just made for enjoyment. I don't really focus on the death or rather murder of the movie, no, I saw past it straight through to the mello aspects. I believe and recommend this movie to any one who can have an open mind to see it. I hope this review helps. Thank you. ...
