Daniel Kaluuya's accent in this Fred Hampton movie bothers me...

[HiphopRelated]

Yeah i learned that like a month ago. Blew my mind too

Yet here you sit, poppin shyt on an American forum


Like when??

Don Cheadle in Hotel Rwanda?

Will Smith

 

[3rdWorld]

 

[Will Ross]

Denzel and Robert Townsend in Mighty Quin and Denzel in Biko
Eddie Murphy and cast in Coming to America
Angelina Jolie and the whole cast in Alexander(Alexander the Great)
The villain in Black Hawk Down
Tommy Lee Jones trying to speak Native in a movie I can't remember the name
Will Smith in Concusion

Don Cheadle did a generic African accent, it was not authentically Rwandan, but it sufficed for an American audience. IT wasn't bad but usually most American actors are horrible with accents.



I could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on....

None of those movies was made for people outside of America.

Did you know Idris was British before the Wire?

Playing a fictional character and depicting a real historical figure is different.

It’s only been a couple of reviews in this thread so far

Maybe it's because they keep picking Hamites, and other nationalities to play strong Judites (so-called African Americans)...especially our martyrs. These kind of things aren't anything new. They're just choosing Black people from different nationalities all of a sudden. Haven't y'all noticed this lately. This probably went over a lot of heads already.

Psalms 83:4 KJV "They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance."

Why is this brehv playing Fred Hampton anyway?

Exactly.

Forget the accent. He looks nothing like Fred Hampton.

Its an insult to my eyes to even look at him trying to potray that man.

Not a very good movie brehs. Fails to hit you on an emotional level. Everyone is focused on the actors but the weakest link was the story and plot.

The best part of the movie was the intro where they rolled documentary footage of Hampton and The Panthers which tells me i would enjoy the Fred Hampton & Panthers documentaries.

6.5 out of 10

I was with y’all on the accent when I saw the trailer. It honestly was laughable as hell. It sounded ridiculous lol. But I actually WATCHED the film today and he sounds nowhere as bad as the trailer
