    This biopic of Dr. King is rather dull, too rigid in historical facts. There is no main story line, but only one historical fragment, which seems very fragmented. At the same time, the director added some interactions with his wife and children in order to show the love of Dr. Jin's sons and daughters, but instead disrupted the rhythm of the whole film. The overall feeling is that the second half is better than the first half, and the front is too...

    This movie still has to resonate. The atmosphere is more deliberately rendered, but it is still very...

    Very politically correct, very factually based, and well-controlled narrative pacing, a decent historical/biographical film, but that's it, the film lacks any admirable...

    Watching the premiere of Qiaozhou, the female director is really thoughtful and meticulous. It seems ordinary but there is no lack of moving things. Although she almost fell asleep in the middle, she could not help listening to the familiar golden speech and the theme song of black rap at the end. Moved to...

    David Oyelowo is so good, he looks like the flesh-and-blood Martin Luther King. A very shocking film, commemorating so many warriors who risked their lives and took to the streets to...

    Winning the respect of others is the best card

    The first feeling after watching it is very peaceful, which is very rare in a film that describes equal rights for blacks. We can often see many discussions on black, gay, and transgender topics on the Internet. The Supreme Court of the United States has also ruled that gay marriage is legal. I...

    The Beauty and Sadness of the American Dream

    All those who yearn for the "American Dream" may be disappointed after watching this movie, because this movie clearly tells you that the American Dream is not equal to everyone. Of course it doesn't mean anything to understand this truth. The profound thing about it is how cruel and unreasonable...

Selma quotes

  • Andrew Young: Hey, what you need guns for?

    Angry Marcher: The Bible says an eye for an eye, reverend.

    Andrew Young: Yeah?

    Angry Marcher: I'm sick of this shit!

    Andrew Young: How many guns you think they got down there? That's an entire army down there. What you got? A couple of .32s? A .38? Maybe a couple of old scatterguns? What?

    Angry Marcher: I got enough to kill a couple of them crackers, that's what I got!

    Andrew Young: And how many of us you think they gonna kill in retaliation? With their 12-gauge pump-actions, their Colt automatics, their Remingtons, their helicopters, their tanks! We won't win that way, and I ain't talking about the Bible. I ain't talking what's right by God. I am talking facts. Cold, hard facts! Now you take two of them, and they take 10 of us. No. We have to win another way.

  • President Lyndon B. Johnson: We shouldn't even be thinking about 1965, we should be thinking about 1985.
