Fight for What's Right

At first I thought this movie isn't that enjoyable for me because I don't really watch or like to watch history movie, but it's something that made me think different. This movie makes me feel how strong they are as in a group and how hard they are trying to fight for their rights. Most of history movie have really meaningful theme or idea behind the scene. This film, Selma, got me entertained. It was not just interesting but very courageous for one to stand up for one another. It talks about how M.L.K and his group protest for their right to vote in Alabama. Back then, Blacks were not able to vote, which is unfair for them. That is why they wanted to protest for voting right. Everyone should be able to do the same even if they're different skin color. An example of courageous was when the police was hitting on the little boy and his mom tried to stop him from hitting her son. She got jumped by many other officer, but no one fight back, which was a very effective way for protesting.  They risk their life for what they wanted.  They fought throughout the protest without any violence just like Gandhi's non-violence protest. After one another was hurt, they did not give up on trying to fight for what is right and fair for everybody because everyone is born equally. This should be more of a must do if there were any protest in America because people don't get hurt. For example, if they were to protest in a way where they throw stuff at others, they would get hurt. Also by using this non-violence protest makes the people who they're protesting against, feel guilty if they ever hurt the protester who never fought back. It's a very good way to show people that you a strong person because you are doing the right thing and idea without any violence. This film can change one's mind about why everyone is equal.

  1. The non-violence protest was a great way to do things. I wish people would use that today.
