The Movie "Selma"

Good movie and I enjoyed it but I was not overwhelmed.  It packs a punch but has shortcomings.  I am not one with the facts to express judgement, but I think the presentation of President Johnson could have been better.  The actors who played King and Coretta were great, but the actors who played LBJ and George Wallace were not so believable.  Facts do matter.  This is what real history is about.  Yet emotional and psychological impact are important.  The movie excels in this regard.
