Topic History of: Selma - my second favourite film of the year
Max. showing the last 5 posts - (Last post first)

JK2006	Just watched the Mark Kermode review - he revealed why they couldn't use I HAVE A DREAM - funnily enough that was one of the things I loved about the movie. It avoided the obvious.
JK2006	Not necessarily (I hated Lincoln) but you're right, this has been quite a year for good biopics (only Grand B in my top 5 wasn't for this year!). I plan to watch Boyhood before the Awards and Whiplash has been strongly tipped to me. A lot of Selma brought back memories. We "entertainment" types in the 60s really fought for causes - civil rights (remember Selma Alabama in Eve of Destruction?). Anti semitism. Gay rights (we won that too). The right to experiment with drugs/stimulants (although I didn't personally partake- not even cigarettes). These days it's false allegations although nobody seems to care much about that.
Andy	You obviously like biopics
JK2006	Splendid movie; very well made with one of my favourite actors Tom Wilkinson playing Johnson - excellent film - my Top 5 now goes - at 5) Grand Budapest Hotel; 4) the Turing film; 3) the Hawking film; 2) Selma and 1) Mr Turner.
