The whole movie is straightforward, without special effects, humor and other eye-catching advantages of modern fast food movies. If you let people with less knowledge watch it, it may be rated as "bad movie".
But the whole movie tells about an era born in racism and finally seeing the problem of racial discrimination resolved in one's lifetime - Obama, the first black American president in history - that kind of relief, excitement and emotion is really touching . The issue of human rights is also really thought-provoking. Patriarchal and homophobic discrimination will have the same results as black Americans in the near future.
