It got me thinking.

I get why he didn't get an Oscar nomination. It's not that he wasn't great, he was, but the whole movie wasn't just about him, it was about everyone at that time, in that moment. To give him an Oscar simply meant that they needed to give it to everyone else.
The movie showed passion and loyalty and everything else that makes it a great movement.
One thing they didn't get right, which DuVernay herself admitted, was King's relationship with the President. I don't know everything that happened at that time, I'm not American, but I've read a lot of things even before the movie. I was curious. Everything I've read never suggested there was that kind of negative friction between the two. Maybe there was some kind of a pissing contest between the two, they are men after all, but who knows what really happened behind closed doors. Still, I never got that, vibe. Anyways it added drama, IT IS a movie so people should be open to storytelling, and most of the time storytelling includes drama and that includes a little fiction.
All in all, the movie is the only movie I've seen, so far, that got me interested with everyone. It told a story of, not just one man, but every little or big, good or bad people involved
