Review of Selma (2014) by Leena L — 05 Aug 2015
Moving. Truly. And three things come to mind:
1) Everyone should watch this in these days where most people in western societies do not experience oppression but complaint about frivolous things. Everyone should know about Martin Luther King and the oppression of black americans (that still goes on, after all these years).
2) You can fight a cause without violence. That takes courage, and nerve, but it is the right thing to do.
3) This was the only Oscar Best Feature contender in 2015 that was never shown in theaters in Finland. The only one! Seriously! It says plenty. I know, lack of theaters and not great audience expected etc. But sadly it says plenty: we do not think movies about black people would be interesting to Finns!! Sad.
