Review of Salma (2014) by Dokalu — 02 Mar 2015

Selma is the story about what Martin Luther King Jr. did in a little town named Selma to give black people the right to vote. As a drama, the movie is really brilliant. It’s beautifully shot, excellent quality, excellent environment, and everything looked very realistic. It really captured the essence of the time it was based on. And the story. I liked the fact that this was one of the things that were really important about Martin Luther King Jr, but not too much people knew, so it was perfect to share that knowledge. It’s really well told, again, being very realistic about all the concept. The way that this film shows the fight, how hard was it, how hard were some parts, and how it really got to major leagues, and really increases its quality, for it does it really well. Also, the fact that the movie is so focused on its characters makes it really interesting. All the acting was terrific, excellent script and really good movie.

Sadly, not being that much of a fan of drama films myself, I found a lot of parts boring and I just wanted to skip to the next scene. I was kind of sleepy some times, and the movie itself didn’t really touch me.
