I noticed that whenever a serious movie about a historical event concerning Black Americans premier, a number of people, who haven't even seen the movie, rate the movie lowly to bring down the overall score of the film.

I see this all the time, all over the internet. I guess it is difficult for some people to accept that race relations is one of the things that America has done horribly. Those people would prefer that the racial chapter of America's shameful and embarrassing history be ignored.

Well, it can't be ignored, because race relation is always simmering, festering, smoldering. "Detroit" is a very good movie that takes us inside the hearts and souls of its inhabitants. It won't be easy for many white people to watch.

It won't be easy for many black people to watch, either, but for different reasons. However, it IS worth watching. Be warned, you should prepare yourself, beforehand, for the experience.
