'50s Hair | |
| Selma / int_348e3263 | comment |
'50s Hair: Coretta, Annie, Mrs. Boynton, and Viola are all seen wearing their hair in styles evoking the forties and fifties. Justified given this is how they looked in real life add also that they were all women of a certain age who likely found a style in their youth and stuck to it. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Selma / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: When it was released, the film received criticism for downplaying or outright ignoring historical facts like the strong support of Jewish leaders for Doctor King, King's involvement with socialism and the labor movement, and the portrayal of President Johnson as an obstructionist. Director Duvernay invoked this trope by claiming, "I'm not a historian. I'm a storyteller." A minor moment at the beginning: While the film is accurate in showing five girls, not four, caught in the bombing (one survived), they were in the bathroom, not the stairwell, when the bomb went off. | |

Badass Pacifist | |
| Selma / int_78629e9c | comment |
Badass Pacifist: King, the clergymen who join him, and the marchers to Selma. Their pacifism is put to the ultimate test by the violence they are forced to endure at the hands of the authorities and vigilantes, but they endure nonetheless. | |
