Accuracy of Selma?

is it like most movies that are based on a true story and just takes a couple of minor liberties with the story or does it change major points?
I could see it being really off base since Hollywood has such a liberal tendency and no one wants to be accused of making MLK/civil rights movement look bad.
My gf wants to see it but I don't want to go if I'm gonna be mad the whole time
FTR, I am not one of those who screams up and down about Hollywood being liberal so I can handle a little whitewashing

Well, for starters, the main actor looks NOTHING like the real deal. It ruins the whole experience for me.

I want to go see it simply because my mother (and yes, I'm white) was at Selma with her parents when MLK marched through there. I want a really epic - but historically accurate - movie like this to be made.

Well after reading the previous comment and some other articles it doesn't look like I will be either
But you should meet her in the middle on some of these things, that way she won't just put her foot down and force you to end up going to see fricking Twilight or some shite

Critics are in love with the movie which automatically makes me think it is basically just some liberal garbage

Its this year's 12 Years a Slave. I bet it does well at the Oscars too.

You think them not showing all of his complexities makes it "slightly off-base"?

12 Years A Slave didn't win awards because of white guilt. It won awards because it was a fantastic movie. One of the best movies of the last several years, IMO.
Selma? I doubt I'll see it. I am curious, though, as to whether they white wash (no pun intended) MLK and not address some of the less flattering aspects.
