Important film

Rating: 8/10 (7 January 2015)

This is an interesting and important film. About the march on Selma for blacks to get equal rights to vote in 1965. Martin Luther King played by David Oyelowo leads the march. Oyelowo embodies MLK in a great way. He had the mannerisms and the speech down well. This film also showed the ugly racist past of America. With many blacks getting beaten... sometimes to death while just walking down the street. It is a stark reminder of how far we have come with race relations. But we still have a long way to go.Looking at recent events in America. This film is a film that should be seen. It is a moment in American history that should be remembered. A great performance from David Oyelowo as MLK. He deserves an Oscar nomination. I do recommend this film.
