Review of Selma (2014) by Philip W — 17 Oct 2016
A emotional and striking view on one of the turning points in the civil rights movements, Selma provides us with a detailed look on some of MLK's most inspirational and moving speeches. While David Oyelowo does a great job of portraying Dr.
King with seemingly raw emotion and energy, this film loses points as it doesn't do a great or fully accurate job of showing the relation between King and President Johnson, over dramatizing it for the sake of the film.
Non the less, Selma shines at multiple points and is very comparable to some of the events regarding Black Life's Matter today.
