People change over time. Their opinions change, their politics change, the way they see the world changes. In Free State of Jones, except for some slight alterations in how he looks, Matthew McConaughey's character, Newton Knight, does not change despite the film taking place over nearly a decade and a half. It is just one of the disappointments.
Based on true events and written and directed by Gary Ross, Free State of Jones mostly takes place in 1862 and 1876. As the movie opens, Newt, as he is known, is fighting for the Confederate Army, although he's much more interested in staying alive—and keeping those around him alive—than he is in taking part in a war. But, as that's incompatible with the idea of war, rather than fighting, Newt deserts the army, returns home to Jones County, and finds out that the Confederates are treating his friends and family deplorably.
