Reviews in general about this film and black films in general

Rating: Null/10 (22 December 2014)

You know it seems to me that every time a Black movie, or to be politically correct, "African-American" movies portraying true events, always gets negative reviews, which makes me think that the reviewer isn't a minority, or is looking to pick apart or analyze Black movies instead of reading Black history books, or talking to someone of that era who experienced those times in the 50's and 60's like my relatives did in Alabama. The fact that "Roth" gets raving reviews, "Common" the surprisingly exception, ( which I'm sure a few of you didn't expect he could do something else other than rapping'), and the comment about Oprah Winfrey acting in Black movies. Why in hell would someone comment about that? Of course, this movie isn't perfect, because life in general, especially during the civil rights movement to the present day wasn't and isn't a movie. The times of civil rights were not dramatized and exaggerated on a movie screen and for people who were looking for dramatics were stupid enough to look for it. What it comes down to is that it doesn't matter what some reviewers think when it comes to Black movies and Black actors. There's always going to be something negatively written or mentioned, i.e., The Butler, The Colored Purple, The Help etc. What all actors are looking to do is act and portray true life events as it happened... There will probably be a negative rebuttal to my comments, which I expect and will make my point. (There's always got to be one or two!) Viva la free speech!
