Review of Selma (2014) by Greg 1 — 02 Mar 2015

Every race, creed, ethnicity, and gender should see SELMA. If you thought you knew what was taught in school you don't know the half of it. The Gentleman who's name I cannot recall that played Dr.

King got the role perfectly. I think the movie was very accurate considering that the King Children would never have let a movie about a issue that so interested their Father be filmed without making authentically real.

I think that the crew was given full access to King's private letter's both personal and public, speech's, audio recordings, and recorded testimony from the original characters be it reel-to-reel, film reel, or tape.

The movie was gripping, powerful, emotional, brutally gritty with the violence and inhumanity on African-Americans at the time, and was good at keeping the Caucasian actors realistically in touch with their character whether for the cause or against.

This is a movie for families with children ages 10 and up who could easily understand what segregation meant to both sides of the movement and realize that we have come such a long way. I think the Reverend King would be proud if he were still with us today.
