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

[Field Marshall Bradley]

I didn't even know main dude was british

I figured it out by the 4th episode on season 1..... Just like I knew C.C(the deuce) wasn't American within 3 minutes of his intro(really good actor tho) Stringer Bell had me puzzled but I was a lot younger then and couldn't pick up on certain nuances.......

 

[UpAndComing]

So you would want only a Yoruba person playing Fela?

Would be the best choice. But if the actor was just Nigerian, then I wouldn't mind

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

HE SOUNDS LIKE SOME STEREOTYPE
HES SEEN IN BLAXPLOITATION FILMS.

"My noime is Fred 'Ampton,Powah tew me blokes."

 

[Captain Crunch]

So who would you have casted that would have been a bigger draw?

LaKeith Stanfield or that dude from the HBO show w/ Jurnee Smolett.

21 Savage had you all fooled ..

UK actors >>>> US actors (Denzel, Freeman and Potier aside)

That's just how that goes

Have you heard any old Fred Hampton interview

Yes sir

Dude from snowfall is a good actor.

He is but his accent is so terrible on that show that it gets distracting at times. Daniel Ezra from All American is a great example of being able to turn his accent off

and Idris is my dude. I don't know why brit brehs taking this thread so personally

they are just playing .. everyone knows who's best really

Malcolm X was just as much non-ADOS as he was ADOS.

Producers/writers/directors tell the story, not the actors who repeat the lines they're given.

Ryan Coogler produced this, Shaka King wrote and directed it, Fred Hampton Jr. himself co-signed the casting, but watch y'all fake militants not allow THEM to tell THEIR story.

I swear every fukking Black project gets heat in TLR like nothing else.

If we talking lineage, then yes.
But X was molded far more by being BA. His biggest mentor in Elijah was BA, plus his BA sister in Roxbury was a big influence on him.

We're not gon even get to the fact, that damn near everything that happened to him was because he was BA(his father getting lynched/"mysteriously" killed, teachers telling him he couldn't be a lawyer cause he was a negro, etc).

Oh... you must be one of em...... I don't listen to 21 savage like that.... but I could tell off the rip he wasn't ATL proper.... and aint a black Brit popping like Cheadle, Sam Jack, Larenz Tate, etc except for Chiwetel, who can act like a motherfukka.... it's plenty of talented American blacks that don't get the opportunity because white producers love everything that aint nikka associated......

He sounds exactly like Fred Hampton. As I stated within that Malcolm & Marie thread, you guys really need to post about your usual superhero bullshyt and refrain from posting opinions about serious acting performances because you obviously do not have the breadth to exercise that

 

[IVS]

No he's not. That bum is hot trash. I never got the hype over Get Out because of his wack acting. And if not for Chadwick and Michael B Jordan carrying Black Panther, his bum ass mighta single-handedly torpedoed that classic as well.

I have no idea why he keeps getting roles. He's not on the same level as the other black british actors putting in work. I can actually get behind Idris, Chiwetel, and that short dark skin dude (keep forgetting his name). This nikka on the other hand is trash.

Lmao. Just like Erivo all he does is do a wide eyed stare. I dont know how that can be mistaken for good acting.
