Detroit (2017) | Based on a True Story

Описание: Detroit is an interesting case for historical accuracy in cinema. I wouldn’t say it is completely accurate, but then again, neither does the film. Instead this is almost entirely disputed history. There are no definitive accounts of what happened, only murky and often self-contradictory information. And this film goes a long way to doing that. It is about the Algiers Motel Incident during the 1967 Detroit Riot. This riot was part of an even greater trend that year called the Long Hot Summer

Wiki:
Detroit is a 2017 American period crime drama film directed by Kathryn Bigelow and written by Mark Boal. Based on the Algiers Motel incident during Detroit's 1967 12th Street Riot, the film's release commemorated the 50th anniversary of the event.[5] The film stars John Boyega, Will Poulter, Algee Smith, Jason Mitchell, John Krasinski and Anthony Mackie.

Detroit premiered at the Fox Theatre in the eponymous city on July 25, 2017, and began a limited theatrical release on July 28, 2017, before opening wide on August 4, 2017.[6] The film received positive reviews from critics, with particular praise towards Bigelow's direction, Boal's script and the performances of Boyega, Poulter and Smith[7][8] but was a box office failure, only grossing $21 million against its $34 million budget.
