Fruitvale Station

This was a film about the life of man named Oscar Grant who was a normal African American living in the Bay Area.  He had troubles in his past with drugs, crime, and cheating on his girlfriend.  He wasn't the perfect man, but he had a good heart to try and fix himself along with his life and family.  His mother was always looking out for him and tried to keep him safe.  When he went out for New Year's Eve he ran into a guy he had beef with in jail, got into a fight on the metro and the cops were called.  The cops were called and they were mistreated and the cop ended up killing Oscar because he couldn't do what the officer was telling him to do because of another officer.  I think this movie was trying to show how people still mistreat the Blacks because of their race.  In my opinion i thought the movie was pretty good.  It was a good movie showing how people are still racist today even though they say racism isn't a big deal anymore.  A normal guy trying to live his life, fix himself, and provide for his family gets mistreated and shot because of his race.  I think that in this country today racism definitely isn't dead, and it is still used by officers who abuse their power.  This doesn't just go for the African American race but for a lot of other immigrants as well. You see it all the time in the media whether it's on the news or it's on show that uses dark humor to make fun of how it is still all too real in our society.  It's a good message for anyone who watches this film to see the actual footage of how the police acted in the situation considering it was based on a true story.
