'The Woman King' | Sept 2022 | Viola Davis, Lashana Lynch, John Boyega, Thuso Mbedu

This is about far more than the movie being good or bad

This is about the proliferation of ideas and the easily entertained nikkas that could care less

Movies are never just movies. They're a propaganda vehicle and this movie is so egregious it's almost hilarious

Lot of you nikkas love being under cacs as long as you're fed and entertained, regardless of the social cost of said entertainment

Exactly. If the final message is pro black, is well received and leads to more pro blackness then who gives a shyt about a coli militant's purity test?

They say "But but but a white woman was involved...." then they go watch Disney Corp and Kevin Feige's Black Panther.

We as a people keep losing cause some of the loudest amongst us have no idea how the world works.

That’s not the issue some have. It’s the fact that that is not what happened in reality with the the country/tribe it was based on

nikkaS CANT UNDERSTAND THIS SIMPLE shyt?

THE MOVIE IS BASED ON A LIE.

THEYRE TRYING TO TURN THESE
VILLAINOUS PIECES OF shyt
INTO HEROS.

You know what's really fukked up? All they had to do was make it a FICTIONAL country/tribe. Some shyt as simple as that.

 

[the bossman]

So what message are they sending when


*big spoilers. only click if you're not going to watch*
they slaughter all the cacs and slave traders

Because they didn't


They tried to keep slavery going after cacs took over and made it illegal.

And even after the British cacs put a blockade up they still tried to sell slaves to Portuguese traders.

They NEVER had this lightbulb moment and decided "we gotta stop slavery we're doing because we can make money of palm oil instead"


What message would be sent if cacs came out with a movie that depicted Europeans first going to Africa with the primary motivation of freeing Black people from African slavery and them as heroes/liberators as opposed to Colonization and them as colonists? Would you be okay with that and that narrative being put out there.

The Nazi's/German military were the world's most powerful force in the 1930's. Yet they NEVER making movies glorifying the strength they had or as some aspiration to look up to due to their historical actions. So why is it suddenly different here?

Fair point. I know. But my point is "so what?"

Even if they were more involved in ending the slave trade the whole story was still a fiction. There's no Nansica. From jump this was a historical fiction, "based on historical events" story to me.

Spoiler

Some of the coincidences in how the characters were related literally had me rolling my ideas in the theatre.

The story wasn't real, but the message was. And the message was important.

Maybe this is successful and the next movies are more accurate? Maybe this bombs and there won't be a next for a while and every other race will just keep telling sanitized stories about their heroes while y'all pat yourselves on the back and keep losing.

I really don't care that much. But you made a decent point without the childishness so I responded again. I'm gonna go watch Braveheart now...

Only seen it once but nice try

And Black Panther takes creative liberties clearly, but the Woman King is nuts considering that actual historical context

But enjoy the film

 

[mastermind]

and the black panther story was written by two white dudes. yet you probably watched it multiple times.

And was pro-CIA and imperialism that many in here took as pro-black.

They are basically puppets at this point. The white folk control their strings.

Exactly. If the final message is pro black

How were Black men and women portrayed in the film?

 

[O.Red]

Breh

Nikkas will take "pro black" any way they can and will be grateful for it

Exactly I’m not even interested in reviews

For those that saw it. Explain how this dynamic worked out
