Moderators kimi Posted February 25, 2018 Moderators Share Posted February 25, 2018 The buzz of the Black Panther is unparalleled. The movie was a massive success grossing some $22million over and above The Avengers (I hear). If you haven't seen it, you aren't alone. I did make an attempt today but the sight of the queues was enough to make me rethink seeing it today. So... I have resolved to see it when it becomes a morning movie 😊 Now... to the thoughts that it provokes within: Great movie, now what?! We've been shown a futuristic Africa. An Africa no doubt which is extremely desireable. Shall it end there (as fairytale) or will we be challenged do something about our collective reality? Should the movie not inspire the zeal to do better? To demand that our leaders do better? Or shall we go back to our daily lives after the euphoria of the movie has waned and continue like it's business as usual? These are a few thoughts brought to mind by the movie. Please share your thoughts I am yet to see it, No spoilers o.... 😡 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damiee Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Black panther is amaaazzzziiiing. Lol. Though, It may not have been as close to our reality as we would like, it definitely gives a spin on an Afro futuristic country that has all its act together (Meanwhile, I read somewhere that Wakanda was inspired by an African empire - Mutapa, which has a powerful trade center). I think that’s why I enjoyed it so much. Wakanda is the way it is because it has Vibranium, a valuable mineral that has been infused in all their tech. As far as inspiring Africans, sadly I don’t think it would. In this part of the woods, people would go watch the movie (in trads), enjoy it, take pictures and go back to living their reality. It’s all forgotten after a few weeks. For us to even conceptualise something as beautiful and advanced as Wakanda, a revolution has to occur. Sadly, I don’t think we are ready. I mean, people are blaming thefts on snakes and monkeys with straight faces and we all just think it’s a joke. Ceartainly, people are tired of the way things are but not sure anyone really wants to do anything about it. More than half of Nigeria’s population dont have PVCs, how then can we demand better or vote better leaders a year from now? Anyway, #wakandaforever 🙅🏾♀️ lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Txunamy Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I'm not a fan of anything Marvel, but anyway, I went to see it on Friday when my friends kept hyping the movie. I was just rolling my eyes all through. it's not my kinda movie at all. I didn't care much about the story line.. it was just bleehh. I should have seen Fifty shades freed instead..☺ Anyway, it's done and dusted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrmd Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I'm yet to see the movie. I've avoided reading any article about it, watching any clip about it lol. I don't want any useless person/video to spoil it for me😁. But I can't wait to watch it now, I already know marvel won't disappoint me.

Mimy Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Lol. But really it’s not that serious. It’s a f***king movie. If people can be excited about Harry Potter movies why is it not okay for black people to be excited about a movie that portrays them in a positive light. The Africa portray in the movie is very much achievable and should have even be the current state of most African countries but unfortunately Africans will be Africans. Let's just enjoy the movie jare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators FlyJ Posted February 26, 2018 Administrators Share Posted February 26, 2018 I have no recollection of the movie; I slept off 10 minutes into viewing this movie. Should the movie not inspire the zeal to do better? To demand that our leaders do better? Or shall we go back to our daily lives after the euphoria of the movie has waned and continue like it's business as usual? - I honestly don't think this movie would have any effect on Africa/Africans. It’s just another money-making venture for the movie producers which sadly isn’t beneficial to Africa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators kimi Posted March 2, 2018 Author Moderators Share Posted March 2, 2018 So... I finally saw this movie o...Lol. I must say, I enjoyed it. I loved the detail. The African tradition was well represented. From the concuctions, to the rituals, to the thunderous sounds of our drums, the baritone voices of our men, the strength of our women, the strong sense of identity to culture, our belief and ties with the afterlife etc... very well portrayed I must confess. At the end, it felt like only 30minutes had passed. It's like I kept waiting for something bigger to happen. Something mindblowing. Lol. Probably all the hype and spoilers at work there. It is certainly one movie I can watch a second time. I didn't do the Wakanda sign though. Lol. Not physically at least .lol 😁😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
