Selma Review (2014)

Selma

  If you were planning to see Taken 3 this week, do yourself a favor and see Selma instead. Similar to 2012's Lincoln, this film chooses to focus on a singular event in Luther's life, the right for black American's to vote. I'd never realized how much we as a people can take voting for granted.  If anyone proves that our voices really do have a say in our future, it is Martin Luther King.

  What I really liked about Selma, was that it really humanizes King while at the same time showing us how much of an inspiration he was. It is a timely piece that brutally paints the true colors of systematic racism and how we as a people have a part to play in that.

  David Oyelowo does an excellent job encompassing the life of Martin Luther King. He definitely deserves his nomination and future roles as good as this one.

  Selma is a deeply moving biopic that everyone should see. 5 out of 5 stars! (A Must See)
