:stressed:
bout to get in now.
nice way to inch towards the end of BHM.
Terrible movie
Really bad
They could?ve SLAYED
But it wasn?t good
Trust me
it was pretty good.
slow start but once it hit the algiers motel it heated up.
pretty fucking sad that this is a true story. that didn't occur to me until they began flashing news clips from that day.
and a lesson to be learned...with the security guy who was so happy to pour coffee and mess for those white officers
"authority! one of the gors" until shit goes down and they remind u that ur black sndnsn :plea:
what's even sadder is that shit like this is applicable today. from the event, to the planting of evidence , to the court proceeding featuring an all white jury, all the way down to the damn acquittal.
very inspiring movie, though. we have so far to go and sometimes its good to be reminded how crucial it is that we leave a mark here and progress for those who are coming after us once we're gone.
