Review of Selma (2014) by Ydnar4 — 05 Mar 2015
Selma is an excellent take on the Selma to Montgomery marches. Its well written and feels very real. The film does not hold back and gets very vicious in certain place, much like 12 Years a Slave from last year.
David Oyelowo headlines the actors of this film. He plays an excellent Martin Luther King Jr. He probably deserved an Oscar nominations for this role (more than Bradley Cooper or Steve Carell in my opinion).
This guy was really passionate about this role, I watched him crying during the during John Legend, this role certainly meant a lot to him and the Academy needed to recognize that. I would look into this movie though before watching it.
It assumes that you should know things before the film begins but I didn't really know much about the event.
