Fruitvale Station
The movie Fruitvale Station starring Michael B. Jordan although might have been a reenactment of the tragic incident of police brutality, I can assure you the movie didn't feel like an reenactment to the viewers. The events in this movie touched many peoples hearts and the way the movie was put together makes it that much more heart wrenching. The movie is the story of Oscar Grant experience and passing due to police brutality.
The progression of the movie, made it ten times better. I enjoyed the fact that the director slowly showed how each relationship improving to be in a better place then it was before. For instance, thought out the movie there is many pauses where Oscar sits and reconsiders going back to his old ways, but his consensus and past talked him into doing the right thing. At one point in the movie, I saw a huge change of character, when the dog got hit and he was trying to help. That moment showed Oscar realized that not everyone is going to help so he is going to have to step up and change himself. From that point on he changed his ways and grew as a person. But just as the saying goes "bad things happen to good people," and that's exactly what happens to him. Just because he was trying to be nice and please his mom, girlfriend, and daughter. Just because he was did that he was forced to come face to face with a past enemy, which eventually led to his death.
Besides for the story line itself, how the movie was put together and filmed was phenomenal. The effects that they used set the tone of the movie worked very well. For example, when he was running with his daughter out of daycare in slow motion, that was a great way to show the improvement as himself as a father. Another example of effect improving the story line was the types of shots. In the movie when the entire police scene was happening the over the shoulder shot of the viewer from the train, impacts you and makes you realize that this was actually happening and that all these people were so helpless and couldn't do anything to help, all they could do was watch and pray for the best.
All and all, Fruitvale Station was an eye-opener of a movie that could tear at anyone's heart strings. So if you like to stay up to date with society and even if you just want to see a genuine great movie, I'd suggest this one. You won't regret it!
