First of all I don't think me, or anyone I know, is particularly affected by this, being not so tech savvy and an absolute lover of anything written has it's perks you see, but I think the realization of all this will appear in the long run.

As stated, I also believe that the real threat is that it can get all our metadata and create fiction instead of truth, plus I think that anything technological can and will be hacked so that just leaves us vulnerable when it happens. And it will happen.

It was great edge of you seat informative type of film. Anyone who watches it will be smacked in the face of the reality that we are entering an age of easy tragedy.

In a world where everyone at some point have been selfish or had an act of narcissistic behavior, how many people can say that?

I think everyone should know about it. It showed me selflessness, love that is unconditional despite the race, evil and goodness.

I think a movie is good if it creates a sense of doing, acting. A film which makes you want to do something beyond the movie seats, create a reality out of entertainment.

People say that is how a film touches one's soul, I say that is how a film creates reality for us. Not everyone has the same privileges we were born with, the same freedom or right. We all came to earth the same way but it does not mean we are able to have the same peace.

A film can show us exactly how we are more and how we can help, and this film did just that. It makes you think of what other ways to help.

I think everyone should watch it to get to reality, get a realization. A realization that maybe not all men are equal, but all beings are equal.

I get why he didn't get an Oscar nomination. It's not that he wasn't great, he was, but the whole movie wasn't just about him, it was about everyone at that time, in that moment. To give him an Oscar simply meant that they needed to give it to everyone else.

The movie showed passion and loyalty and everything else that makes it a great movement.

One thing they didn't get right, which DuVernay herself admitted, was King's relationship with the President. I don't know everything that happened at that time, I'm not American, but I've read a lot of things even before the movie. I was curious. Everything I've read never suggested there was that kind of negative friction between the two. Maybe there was some kind of a pissing contest between the two, they are men after all, but who knows what really happened behind closed doors. Still, I never got that, vibe. Anyways it added drama, IT IS a movie so people should be open to storytelling, and most of the time storytelling includes drama and that includes a little fiction.

All in all, the movie is the only movie I've seen, so far, that got me interested with everyone. It told a story of, not just one man, but every little or big, good or bad people involved
