SELMA Movie - Acting At Its Best! - David Oyelowo, Carmen Ejogo, Oprah Winfrey. |

SELMA rocks the big screen with
stellar acting from an ensemble cast staring Oprah Winfrey (Annie Lee Cooper), David Oyelowo (Martin Luther King Jr.), Carmen Ejogo (Coretta
Scott King), Cuba Gooding Jr. (Fred Gray), Tom Wilkinson (President Lyndon B. Johnson), Martin Sheen (Frank
Minis Johnson), Tim Roth (Gov. George Wallace), Giovanni Ribisi (Lee White), Alessandro Nivola (John Doar), Dylan Baker (J. Edgar Hoover ), Stephan
James (John Lewis) and Niecy Nash (Richie Jean Jackson) to name a few.
In a film which
primarily focuses on the events surrounding Selma, Alabama, and the
orchestration of various peaceful marches lead by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., during the 1960's, the
entire cast of this film turns in a most memorable performance.

Without
giving away too much of the plot I must say that some of the most powerful
acting I have witnessed in recent films is displayed in this movie. From Oprah
Winfrey as the character Annie Lee Cooper who knocks a police officer in the
head for harassing a fellow peaceful marcher and the resulting fight between
her and the officers to other, more quite type, scenes between David
Oyrlowo as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
and a wonderfully portrayed Coretta Scot
King by Carmen Ejogo, this movie is a historical masterpiece. Every parent, child and citizen should see it. (Please Note: Your children
will need your parental guidance while watching this film in order to help them understand
the perspectives, references, significance and context of events in the film).

As the movie highlights many of the
events surrounding and leading up to the eventual passing of The Voting RightsAct of 1965, Director, Ava DuVernay (Middle of Nowhere, The Door) and Cinematographer Bradford
Young (Pawn Sacrifice, The Door Middle of Nowhere) use many dark image tones and
lighting to tell one of the most important stories in American History.

by Cloud Eight Films (Danny Boyle, Christian Colson, Diarmuld McKeown) in
association Plan B Entertainment (Brad Pitt, Jeremy, Dede Gardner, Sarah Esberg)
