People can really be so mean

Rating: 10/10 (8 March 2019)

Selma was a really good movie. One really great scene was where "Martin Luther King" got the white colored people to help him in the march, then when they were granted entrance into Montgomery, he guided them back because he wanted them to do it all by themselves with no help. The plot of the movie was to show how bad discrimination was that they couldn't even cross over to the town over or whatever because it was pretty much like death for them if they did. I already knew that discrimination was bad. I didn't know it was as bad as they portrayed it in the movie though, maybe worse. But i did grow up watching videos of african americans being beat to death during their peaceful protests in my history classes every once in a while. The history part of the movie was interesting to me. Ava DuVernay is the director of this movie. The only other movie i've watched that she directed was "A wrinkle in time". Both Selma and A wrinkle in time are really good movie, and so different from one another. Having watched Selma and A wrinkle in time, ithink im going to have to start watching more movies directed by Ava.
I liked how the whole movie was portrayed. I liked how Martin Luther King wanted no violence at all because he just wanted to be peaceful and let things change naturally with the sympathy of others when watching the people from selma get beaten basically to death. I would have watched this movie on my own time if it came up while i was scrolling through my movie app looking for something to watch. I would 100% recommend this movie to my friends.
