Kinetic, purposeful and visually awesome! Those are just some of the words I can use to describe how I feel about the Black Panther movie. This movie checks off a lot of boxes for what I feel is a great superhero movie. Writing, directing, costume design, soundtrack, production design and acting are all beautifully done! Warning: I will be abusing my exclamation points during this review – I loved this movie that much!!
Lets start with the writing. This film consists of many layers and one of those layers, culture, sets it apart from other superhero films. Ryan Coogler and Joe Robert Cole did a great job in infusing African culture into the film. The way women were portrayed in this movie was also a breath of fresh air (Thing I liked most about the film) – finally someone got it right! Wonder Woman was close until they threw Chris Pines character in and then I was over it, next. T’Challa’s female protection squad, the Dora Milaje and its leader Okoye play a huge role in this film. These women are depicted as warriors

You can tell a lot of hard work, research and dedication went into each of their parts. From the way Shuri is surfing on top of a car to the skillful and meticulous way that Okoye uses her weapon. It all comes together beautifully! I found this film extremely enriching, I walked out of the theater hopeful, especially because of what is happening in our country right now. A movie that explores what it means to be black, with an almost all black cast, directed by a black director. Finally! This film wasn’t just a film. It had something important to say and I think it will have a positive impact on society. This film embraces diversity, shines a light on feminism, equality, the need for solidarity and the legacy of Colonialism. In history, there has been art/artists that have impacted the world – Shakespeare for example. This film and everyone involved will go down as history making and world
In the film it also explains the perpetuation of stereotypes within comic book, for example for Luke Cage he was an ex-con that broke out of jail to became a hero for hire, that wear
Overall, I thought this film was very informative and I learned a lot. It was very interesting. The film opened my eyes to a new world that I had never seen before. It informed me on history that I had no idea about.
The black Panthers was the most significant activist group during the 1960s who had a positive impact because they emphasized black pride, community control, and unification. Coming from different places, both Bobby Seale and Huey Newton were just two students at Merritt College who worked with eachother to develop the school’s black studies' curriculum and combine African-American History courses into their college curriculum, as they were also very involved in politics. After the assassination of Malcolm X, the mistreatment and extreme of police brutality against the African-Americans, both men were determined to do something for the black communities. On October 15, 1966 in Oakland California, was when the pair decided to form the Black
Not only did it show the highs of the Civil Rights Movement, it showed the lows. Police brutality, the faces of those who unfortunately lost their lives, and the horrifying behaviors of ignorant whites were shown. The film was so powerful that there seemed to be no
There were and are a lot of racial issues in the United States today. The book “Warriors Don’t Cry” and the movie “Remember the Titans” are good examples of the racial issues that were going on back then, but later show how their town comes to respect everyone that lives there no matter their skin color or race. There was a test that white people took a to see if they were racist and the results were 90 percent of people show some sign of favoritism towards the white community. That information comes from the site usnews.com. There are still these issues now days and it will take a lot of work and time to be able to solve the problems completely.
The film showed real life issues that were going on at the time for instance the racial cops or spraying black people with the hose. In the italian neoralism era they did the same thing but with a different culture and background. To add on they shot the film in real locations just like Roberto Rossellini, Luchino Visconti, and Vittorio were doing. I also witnessed scenes where breaking the fourth wall came back to black cinema. When i seen all this in action i knew right away where and from it came from.
Lonnie Franklin was arrested on July 7th, 2010 and charged with 10 accounts of murder and one account of attempt of murder. Beginning in 1985 and ending in 2010, 118 women were reported killed near or in the neighborhood Lonnie Franklin lived in. Although only 118 women were found dead, Lonnie owned over 180 pictures of different women in a variety sexual positions in their undergarments in his house and in his car. Many of the women in the photos were found dead, but where are the ones that weren’t? These killings took place in a poor neighborhood at a time where the vast usage of crack cocaine and the amount of prostitution was mass and ignored by the police because the amount of usage and popularity was apparently too large to even try
It brought in great interviews, whether they were that of townspeople or official representatives, the interviews were solid and differed enough to make each one stand on it's own. The filmmakers found a way to follow the narrative with it's statistics and interviews blending in a way to keep my attention without me wanting to shoot myself in the face due to boredom, which is great. The way ethos, pathos, and logos weaved together for the end product was certainly admirable. I wasn't concerned with the issue at all when going into the interview, but if I'm going to be honest, I still don’t really care. I understand the issues and what they're doing to both the world and it's inhabitants, but I think bottled anything has become so integrated into society.
It baffles me to see how these men, women, and children were treated as animals. I ask the question, how could these owner treat the slaves like this and not have any regrets or fears as to what would happen to them when they die. It also made me think on the slaves who were not born slaves that came from Africa who did know the language, customs, and how they were up rooted from their lives. I always thought that slaves were separated from their families because one of the family members did wrong. This film taught me that that was not always the reason some slave owners sold members of the slave families just because they could.
I recommend the movie because it is full of humor, but is still very intriguing. The plot is unpredictable; the movie shows a story full of emotion, fighting, and
The film’s setting was on point as it portrays a devastated and distressed earth where only few managed to survive and if given the chance would have chosen to vanish instead just to break free from the chaotic situation. The choice of scenes and places where climatic points were revealed justified the emotional prowess and acuity of the main characters. One of the simplest scenes in the beginning which affected me so much
It was captivating how the film has transformed lives and how it imparts a provoking thought to
There has been a strong movement stirring among the masses for generations now. Women are actively fighting for equality in a land that promises it. Moreover, every movement possesses some sort of symbol or image to represent their cause. Interestingly, some members who identify with the Women’s Right Movement have incorporated the fictional superhero character Wonder Woman to accomplish this. With this development, it could be reasoned that the revitalizing of this comic book character has spurred a new passion for issues relating to the rights of women.

Overall, if I had to give a grade to Metropolis, I would give it an A+. This is because the movie was so ahead of its time and every scene seemed like a piece of art. The set designs were beautiful, such as the visuals of the colosseum where Freder ran in the beginning of the film and also in the Tower of Babylon. Through these scenes, I became immersed in this future world, and I was wishing I could see more about the life of the citizens in metropolis. The film also had great themes that set the framework for future movies such as Blade Runner, according to Kenneth Turan.
