Now, before we start our show, I have Gina and Kate at the bar and these pretty ladies are waiting for you to make your orders. Please go get your popcorns, drinks and co before you enter into the movie hall.
Lets go there...
Our movie for today is a really complicated and over hyped movie.
Not to talk too much. Its Black Panther! Yaaaayyyy ๐๐
We are just getting started, there are still many more beautiful movies to review after today. Lets put our minds together and be ready to learn amazing lessons from this amazing movie and there will be some free plastics of ice-cream and popcorn for the people who have decided to put their minds here. ๐๐
Watch this...
And read...
Chadwick Boseman plays the King TโChalla, of Wakanda, the fictional African nation housing secret sci-fi technology, who must step up and embrace the weighty responsibility of his birthright after the assassination of his father.
Here, TโChallaโs task is to become a better ruler than his father and change the direction of Wakanda, a country that has chosen to hide from the world. Wakanda takes isolationism to a whole new level, keeping its magic tech and precious metal a closely guarded secret, its borders firmly closed to foreigners.
But TโChalla sees the awkwardly Trumpian attitude of Wakanda and muses over the morality of their ancient traditions. In facing his disruptive challenger to the throne, Killmonger, TโChalla and then, comes to understand that the countryโs isolation, and rejection of outsiders, is both unsustainable and morally bankrupt.
Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) must be the greatest villain Marvel has ever conceived, by a wide margin, but is criminally underused. Jordanโs charisma shines the moment he appears on screen, and his characterโs anger feels entirely justified, even if his plans for violent uprising are easy to condemn. Heโs such a good villain, in fact, that he effortlessly steals every scene he appears in, and highlights how fundamentally boring TโChalla actually is.
Black Panther is kind of similar to Captain America, straight as an arrow, inhumanely righteous. But TโChalla is humanized by his relationship with little sister Shuri, played by the wonderful Letitia Wright; their familial squabbles are cute and relatable, which helps bring the King of Wakanda down to earth. And Shuri is a very strong and spirited character โ she steals the show along with Killmonger.
Killmonger, is really good at killing people, and unfortunately, Wakanda picks their leadership based on combative talent. Interestingly, this is what makes Killmonger such a fascinating villain โ his challenge to TโChalla isnโt just physical, itโs philosophical.
Killmongerโs attack on Wakanda exposes the countryโs glaring faults, stripping the initial illusion of shiny, technological Utopia. And the fact that Wakanda is openly flawed makes it feel so very real the spectacular costume design and world-building do the rest. I particularly liked the ritual, and sense of history associated with the role of Black Panther โ this is an ancient, important tradition, not a decision to protect the world on a whim, like every other superhero.
This story feels like a true journey into the unknown the depths of space and alien worlds we visit in Guardians of the Galaxy are less colorful and interesting than this hidden gem of Africa. Black Panther takes full advantage of its setting to show us a unique and visually stunning world, the Afrofuturistic aesthetic highlighting how embarrassingly monotonous so many of our sci-fi and fantasy blockbusters really are.
The themes of isolationism, military intervention, the dangers of advanced technology, are fairly sophisticated for a superhero movie, but not too heavy. The film boasts a balanced blend of fun-filled adventure and light political commentary.
Black Panther is certainly one of Marvelโs strongest efforts, and perhaps its most unique. But I did have a couple of issues; the film is too long, and the majority of the action scenes are dull. But strangely enough, that doesnโt really matter this superhero film derives its strength from its setting and characters, rather than its action sequences.
My biggest issue was with TโChallaโs journey himself, and for that, we have to venture into spoiler territory.
My biggest problem with Black Panther, is that when TโChalla hits his lowest point, the rock bottom of a waterfall, he disappears from the story entirely.
The narrative shifts to the badass female warriors of Wakanda, and when we catch up with TโChalla again, heโs undergone a dramatic transformation, and is not only ready to retake the throne, heโs willing to connect Wakanda to the rest of the world. Thatโs a big change, and we donโt really see how he gets there.
A conversation with his dead father isnโt quite enough to justify this mammoth shift in direction for an ancient, proud society. But we all know itโs the right thing to do, so it works, just about. But this film feels less like TโChallaโs story, and more like Killmongerโs.
The story really picks up when he acquires the throne, and his final act, choosing a noble death rather than living in chains, is deeply poignant. Unfortunatly, TโChalla doesnโt come anywhere close to leaving such an impression.
Itโs a genuine tragedy that Killmonger is killed off same with the cartoonish Klaue (played by a non-CGI version of Andy Serkis). Both of these villains are fantastic, and hopefully can return to the Marvel universe, which is severely lacking in the sympathetic villain department. Nobody really dies in sci-fi (or comic books, come to that).
But TโChallaโs greatest scene comes in the post-credits, in his own โI am Iron Manโ moment; in a press conference, he announces that Wakanda is willing to share their magical metal with the world. The announcement is met with derision โ what does some dirty and poor African nation have to offer? TโChalla simply smirks in response.
The scene highlights the most important, and powerful theme of the movie that weโve been undervaluing African culture, and African-American culture, for far too long, to our own detriment.
