The strange thing is that I do not remember hearing the name Rosa Parks mentioned in the movie, which does not detract from its merits. Where segregation and discrimination exists, injustice prevails, and the so-called law and force is the prescription, obviously the law of those in power. It was good to see the strong reaction of the black people guided by the Montgomery Improvement Association. They did not have any choice than to move in their vehicles or long walks to their jobs. Wonder how a person in hours or days becomes conscious of the excesses of discrimination. She may be empathic, but something else above is not realistic. More emphasis should have put on what the black people did in those heavy days. In any case, the film has undoubted merits since it reveals the degree of hatred and repression suffered by the blacks.
