"(Movie) Selma did you see it/ reactions."


  

          

I'm just gonna say this I left the film feeling disappointing yet not surprised kind of like those grand jury rulings.

I saw a very slick revisiting of history take place.

I saw the white washing of elements that may not have been palatable for white audiences.

I saw something that left out particular elements that were vital to the movement in Selma ignored and left out.

I saw a nice Dr. MLK Jr. impression physically (vocally I could do a better one) yet little nuance on WHY SELMA who was in SELMA and what that spawned.

Not to mention the the voting rights act was made toilet paper by the Supreme court a few short months ago.

But what yall think/feel?

I'm planning on taking my class to see it as apart of their historical film research papers. Most films are very historically inaccurate, so I'm not surprised. It's very damaging to how the average person remembers history. I spend so many semesters correcting the historical inaccuracies of Amistad, Malcolm X, Glory etc.

it is suspect to me when the inaccuracies fall along a line of blocking out the so called "radicals" to fulfill the comfort of certain audiences.

...they didn't make Martin an all knowing and perfect being...

...also benefits from it's timing in the current climate...

...each scene had me captivated...

...and wanted to give a big fuck you to Ridley Scott... all I saw was Black talent on the screen...

...also reinvigorated me to keep pushing in my realm of honest propaganda.

We still more or less live it to some degree. It's not even hard to put yourself in the shoes of those folks. Like how many times can you show black folks being mistreated on the big screen as passive "entertainment" ?

the passive protesters is a myth. Dr. King had guns in his house and his guards had guns.

The Deacons of Defense had guns and used them.

Etc. etc. etc.

This stories are twisted to paint a certain image in the heads of people who don't know any better so they will be confused on the true history.
