Selma Reaction

In the movie Selma, a very detailed and accurate resemblance was shown related to the civil rights movement. The main focus of the movie is trying to get equal rights for African American people the same as everyone else.  Voting is a main concern that the African Americans are fighting for.  Without their vote there will never be a leader that is for giving them equal rights.  Throughout the movie they showed how poorly and unethical the African Americans are treated. It is astonishing how the color of your skin can determine if you are equal to whites or not.  I believe that all people are created equal no matter what race you are. Martin Luther King exceeds great limits to fight for what is right and for the people who are not being treated equal. This movie really opened my eyes and made me realize how people will follow society and not speak up for others that often.  Throughout the movie there is a lot of murdering and violence towards African Americans when they did absolutely nothing wrong. The society thought it was normal to treat African Americans poorly and promoted to act in violence towards them.   This movie made me realize how the world has changed today.  Fortunately, everyone is treated equally today than in the past.  I think it is very unethical and sad that African American people were treated as if they were not humans.  The scene that caught my eye was the march to Montgomery.  The African Americans politely asked to have a word with a gentlemen and they immediately attacked them by brutally beating them to the ground and some resulting in death. Martin Luther King did not give up and was determined to make a difference and he succeeded when the bill was finally passed.  I really enjoyed this movie and it made me think twice about when people disrespect a different race.  We are all created equal and are very blessed that today different races are not treated how they were back then. I did not know much about the civil rights movement until watching this move. Throughout high school we were educated about the general idea of how they were treated, not specific details like shown in this movie. I did not know that there were so many details and steps MLK had to go through just to get his people to be treated fairly. I enjoyed this movie because of the educational aspect and the emotional factor that contributed to it.
