Michael W This HBO movie was really good. Jeffrey Wright, Terrence Howard, Carmen Ejogo, CCH Pounder, Reg E. Cathey, Iris Little-Thomas, and the rest of the cast did a fantastic job in this movie. This true story about the Montgomery bus boycott was dramatic, inspirational, and intense. It's about fighting for freedom and equality. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's a must see. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/07/23 Full Review tony h This is a great film which portrays a hugely significant time in modern history: The very start of the Civil Rights' Movement in the USA. Beautifully crafted and very well portrayed, the presentation as per the film is eminently watchable, fascinating and intriguing, and so important because of its historical content. This is just the beginning! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review jon c One simple act of refusal can change everything. On December 1st, 1955 a monumental historical movement took place in Montgomery, Alabama. This act of defiance would unite an entire community for social change in our nation. Segregation was fluent in the south then came Rosa Parks who refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. This was the infamous bus boycott that many blacks soon followed. Sometime later Martin Luther King, Jr would lead the Montgomery march across the bridge. The movie is based on the book Daybreak of Freedom. It uses various archival footage with great actors playing King, Coretta Scott, and Abernathy fighting in this dramatic telling for civil rights. Everything from the church gatherings to combating the white citizens council feeling that the boycotts are impeding their goal. Jeffrey Wright, Terrence Howard, and CCH Pounder play all their parts respectively. Wright gives one of his best performances ever as Martin Luther King. The bus boycott is widely considered to be the wide birth of the Civil Rights Movement. It certainly paved the way for many struggles for freedom and equality in the days to come. This movie is not to be missed for its superb acting and historical significance. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review steve d I am not sure the script lived up to the power of the true story but Jeffrey Wright's King is not to be missed. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Nice weaving of the dramatic with some archival footage. Tells the story of the Montgomery boycott from the inside, behind the scenes, highlighting strategy and tactics. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Best portrayal of Dr Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Boycott" This was an HBO product in that could have easily been a feature film . Jeffrey Wrights performance is mesmerizing . An is arguably the bet portrait of King. I believe this production made King a human being. 3 dimensional, charismatic, sexy and fearful and powerful . His relationship with his wife Coretta played by Carmen Egojo was sweet and you felt their love. As much as I love Selma this is my favorite story of King and Wright deserved many awards for his performance . Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
