Featuring awards worthy work from David Oyelowo, Selma rides the power of its true story to magical effect.

Selma is a good movie about the historical fact in America. To people outside of America this is "just" a movie as we don't have the feel with it as Americans might have. Nevertheless the story needs to be told and people need to know the harsh things that have been done not so long ago. Great acting, can't say I loved the movie because the story isn't a story you can love.

Difficult to watch but important to do so. The events that happened in Selma, Alabama in the 1960's still resonate today. One day we will overcome prejudice in all its forms, regardless of race, gender, sexuality etc but that day is still some way off.

What do you march for? The first thing I'm gonna say is that the Oscar nomination for Best Original Song is completely fair because Glory is a great piece of music that blends perfectly with the theme of the film and still resonates today with the world events that destroy humanity. That said, Selma is a perfectly set and performed really touching movie, in my opinion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEFRPLM0nEA "Glory" - Original Song From Selma

I put off watching this movie because I am from Selma Alabama and I grew up there. Being from a town that was the heart of the Civil Rights Movement is hard growing up as a poor white girl because some of the black people in that town hold the racism against every white person and do to this day.
