Review of Selma (2014) by Derek B. C — 01 Oct 2015
A very good film that links the actions of MLK and his supporters in Selma, AL to the eventual passage of the Voting Rights Acts. The biggest negative of the movie was all the cryptic typed government subtitles as if the information came from some secret government files.
Government spying on MLK and his associates is certainly present in the film, but the subtitles were never tightly tied into the plot and seemed out of place and a distraction. Otherwise, a very good two hours spent with good acting for figures that you know from real life, a task that is never easy.
