After watching this historical biographical film "Selma" depicting the American civil rights fighter Martin Luther King, I really admire the people of that era who fought for equal rights. They were real warriors and fighters. The yearning for freedom and equality, the resistance to power and oppression, the resistance to discrimination and prejudice, and the intimidation, violence, fraud, and disputes encountered on the way to freedom and equality. All of this they achieved and dealt with with non-violent marches, speeches, sit-ins, and finally won, but not a complete and complete victory, to this day, the kind of discrimination, inequality in the film , disgust and prejudice remain, then this Selma march is far from over. . .

As far as the movie itself is concerned, it is a very meticulous and serious work. The interpretation of many small characters is very exciting, not inferior to the protagonist. The emotional expression of the movie is very emotional. With the moving music, I am definitely not the only one who sheds tears. one. The speeches and parade scenes in the film are well made, very shocking and touching, and the trivial matters and emotional entanglements in MLJ's life are also described in great detail. This is not a tall MLJ, but a real one. Yes, flesh and blood MLJ. Overall, this is a very good movie, and you can watch it if you are interested. .

Selma quotes

  • Martin Luther King Jr.: [somberly yet passionately speaking to church congregation at a funeral] Who murdered Jimmie Lee Jackson? Every white lawman who abuses the law to terrorize. Every white politician who feeds on prejudice and hatred. Every white preacher who preaches the Bible and stays silent before his white congregation. Who murdered Jimmie Lee Jackson? Every Negro man and woman who stands by without joining this fight as their brothers and sisters are brutalized, humiliated, and ripped from this Earth.

  • President Lyndon B. Johnson: Are you trying to shit me, George Wallace? Are you trying to fuck over your president?
