Your Life Captured in The Last 24 Hours

Michael B. Jordan as Oscar Grant, III in "Fruitvale Station"

I walked out of the theater in SILENCE. 

The image of Oscar Grant, III real life daughter in my mind. 

The heart wrenching scene of Oscar's mother at the hospital.  Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer did an outstanding performance in her portrayal as Wanda Johnson, mother of Oscar Grant, III.

Director Ryan Coogler [27 yrs old, the same age Oscar would have been] captured Oscar in his last 24 hours with his family, friends, and strangers in "Fruitvale Station".  

Favorite Scenes:

• The Father/Daughter scenes - The running scene between Oscar and his daughter stood out the most. It was funny & heartwarming.
• Oscar with his friends - Everyone wanted to be around him. Oscar smiling, joking around, and just having a good time hanging with his friends as they went out for New Year Eve to see fireworks. 

No one ever suspecting what those remaining hours will be like...

It gave me a pause as to what if I only have 24 hours in my life remaining. 

• Will I be with my family in a kitchen filled with tasty food and lots of laughter? 
• Will I be with friends on an innocent night out in the city? 
• Will I meet people throughout those remaining hours for the first time and meeting them changed my life and theirs?

When I think about it, those scenes could play out in my life on any given day of the week!!

Go see this movie if you have not seen it. Yes, it will remind you of  the Trayvon Martin's shooting, which is even more of a reason to see it.  Then say a prayer for Oscar Grant's daughter "T", girlfriend Sophina, mother, family and friends.  I know I did.

Have you seen "Fruitvale Station"? What would we see if the last 24 hours of your life was captured? Please comment below.
