Review of Selma (2014) by Iven S — 06 Apr 2015

Its about time they made a Dr King Jr movie., I have to say I have been waiting for this ever since I saw the Malcolm X movie...so so many years ago (damn, I'm old).

I think it was brilliant to focus on one event rather than go into the whole life of Dr King, goes to show you that the movement was more important than the man., for a man he is, full of faults, full of hopes, full of opposition from unlikely places too.

I enjoyed this look into what was going on behind the scenes, behind the speeches but in the end it didn't drive home like I thought it would. No fault of the actors or the production., and no point in pinpointing where the fault is when all I want to say is that you should watch this.
