so is the idea that the oscars gave awards and nominations to all these minorities in the past but in 2015 they went "i think we're in the clear now, we can stop doing it"

The director of a movie based on a highly-documented point in history posted:I think everyone sees history through their own lens, and I don't begrudge anyone from wanting to see what they want to see. This is what I see. This is what we see. And that should be valid.

nnnotime posted:That's a good point being raised. It turns out DuVernay interjected a lot of material into the screenplay, even to the point of writing her own version of MLK's speeches, per this article: An interesting thing about Selma is that they couldn't use the actual speeches since Spielberg bought the rights.

also according to some article from the atlantic the reason selma didn't get nominated for more awards was because the studio didn't send out screeners to the voters

Also Selma sucks but it had a good soundtrack I guess. Lol that the director made up all the speeches, I had no idea about that. Kind of makes it a real piece of poo poo movie then.

i've heard selma isn't a very good movie. like the actors were chosen due to their resemblance to the real people. and it's kind of stiff and forced. like a patriotic theme park ride where wax dummies give speeches about the greatness of america.
