I will be watching. Fuqua don’t miss.
Yet another movie showing a Black American being whipped by white people and running away from them vs a movie about Black African Warriors
This needs a boycott...The Woman King didn't.
I trust though that the anti-slavery movie brigade has the same energy for this embarrassment of a film.
And whenever Black people start talking about "love" and "resilience" they just mean getting tormented by cacs and doing nothing about it.
MAYBE WE NEED THIS
AFTER THAT WOMAN KING BULLshyt
Nah. And I'm tired of the nonstop drilling that "this is our story." There are many chapters of the black story and experience yet Hollywood has decided that the most lucrative ones are the most traumatic. If it's not slavery, it's civil rights era. There are enough slave movies. None will surpass The Color Purple or 12 Years A Slave, so why continue beyond beating these images into our heads.
If there was one good thing about the Will Smith slap it's that it ensured this movie won't get a single nomination or award. Let this shyt pass. This is an era where we've got black people making successful horror, science fiction, coming of age/romance, sports, etc films. We need more of that - normal black people going through life or experiencing wonderful/dreadful/comedic/scary/etc things. I won't willingly watch another slave film.
Django was great but it's not really a slave film. It's essentially a revenge western.
Yea, this sh!t looks like it smacks. I'm in there day 1.

Good thing he got his Oscar cause I got bad news
If I was Will Smith I would have never told a soul this. I would have denied it to my dying day. lol.He had his moment and blew it. He also turned down being Neo in The Matrix to make Wild Wild West.
