Fruitvale Station

A few weeks ago my friends, Dennis and Tif, invited me to see Fruitvale Station with them.  I already had plans, so I wasn't able to go with them. Some free time presented itself today, so I went with a couple of my cousins to watch the movie.  I remember hearing about the story when it happened, but watching this movie really raised my emotions.

When the premiered at Sundance, I knew that I wasn't going to be able to wait to see it.  It lived up to its expectations in every way, especially story and cast.  Octavia Spencer is amazing in the role, but I expected that.  The writer, Ryan Coogler, did an amazing job of making the characters relatable.  This is his first feature film, and look at what he was able to accomplish.

I don't want to say too much and ruin the movie for those who aren't familiar with the story.  Just know that our country has a problem. Our country has a problem, and part of the problem is the amount of people who are unaware that there's a problem.  Hopefully Fruitvale Station reaches enough people that   our country is exposed.  Something has to be done, y'all.  There's really nothing else to say. This story will stay with me for a while.
