Dear Readers, I am sorry for delaying this Selma review, and the reason is I can't think of a very in depth way of going about reviewing it. I can only think of a few notes that you readers should keep in mind going into it. 1. Every actor in this movie is really great, especially David Oyelowo. He embodies MLK perfectly, as well as accurately. The rest of the cast is also very good, but due to Oyelowo's performance their job is quite easy. What's miraculous is that David Oyelowo practically carries the entire film. The film is just scenes of people talking for the most part, making it even more miraculous. 2. This is a film that uses violence to it's benefit. That may seem like an odd and bad comment, but it is true. The short bursts of shocking, brutal violence ( I can't even understand why this movie is "PG-13") are used most effectively by boosting the real punch of the film. This fact is what's really insane. This film is daring; I can say that. 3. There is a great amount of serendipity to specific parts of the film. There are some great moments where the music and directing just meld perfectly. Other than that I really can't say much about it. It's all good, but there's not really much I had to say on the entire production. It's really just about perfect, but in a plain way. Not a way that can really be discussed. The history though should be discussed,and this is a perfect reminder. All said, I give Selma a 9.5 out of 10. Review by Stephen Tronicek. Edited by Mia Rinoul.
