Screen Junkies review (Non-spoiler version) - 25:53 minutes.

Apparently there's a spoiler review going to be released once the film has been released.

The overall take on the movie was that it was fun and worthwhile to see at the cinema.

I don't know if it is Disney bought or just a genuine take on it.

Use caution, but be hopeful!

reply

Disney bought?

Meanwhile the BLM is making the movie their own for... reasons of millenial USA blackness, I suppose.


My only concern is how much nose rubbing it has.



reply

Judging from that review it sounds like it gets quite philosophical, which could be a very good thing, but until I see it I won't know if that's the line Disney are running with for sales TA.

I hope it's good, BP was brilliant in CA:CW.

reply

It has all the right stuff to be a great movie.

reply

I'm hoping it is!

I just hope all the expected Millennial SJW fallout can be kept to a minimum.

reply

true that

Twisted, what is the deal with what BLM (or SJW's) is doing or not doing with the movie Black Panther? Many, many people will take away from the movie different things and it will touch them in different ways. What is so important about the BLM group that makes a difference to you?

Haven't you ever taken a class about a book, a movie, a play or a poem and were asked to give your thoughts and reflections on the book or whatever and found that others in your class interpreted it so very differently than yourself? Could it be the experiences of others changes the way they see a book or movie?

When you all discuss the movie or book you then start to see "why" they view it the same or differently than yourself. Sometimes the difference can be a reference point or an interpreted action that has a different POV than yours. Sometimes the writer and director intentionally makes certain elements vague.

Doubt is a wonderful movie that plays that out very deftly.

reply

I can't speak for Twisted but my thoughts on the matter are...


HEY HEY, HO HO, DISCUSSION WE DON'T AGREE WITH HAS GOT TO GO!
HEY HEY, HO HO, DISCUSSION WE DON'T AGREE WITH HAS GOT TO GO!!
HEY HEY, HO HO, DISCUSSION WE DON'T AGREE WITH HAS GOT TO GO!!!
HEY HEY, HO HO, DISCUSSION WE DON'T AGREE WITH HAS GOT TO GO!!!!


...I think the above is why Norrin.

reply

I think you are having the LACK of a discussion with someone else other than moi? N'cest pas?

Are you saying that you can't or won't or others can't or won't discuss the movie, the fabric around the movie, or other aspects without being shutdown or shouted down? Who shouted you down?

T'wasn't me.

reply

I'm not saying it was you Norrin, but you would have to be wholefully ignorant of the fact that discussion is being shouted down/deplatformed and that actions such as that give nobody a better tomorrow.

Food for thought perhaps?

Here's the thing from my non-USA POV:

This particular movie comes out in Black Month [with all the Political things associated to it]
Is directed by a black guy which, by it self, it means nothing. Art knows no color. But in conjunction with the all black cast and the message of the movie, it sounds like a "hey, we black, only we do this", which may rub people in the wrong way [not me, cause I have no stakes in it].
The message of the movie [if what the early black youtubers said is true] is "we are blacks, we should hang together because the world is evil"
The Director himself stated in one of the many Youtube interviews that "build bridges not Walls" [a part of the message of the movie] is an African saying... which I most sincerely doubt. I did study African principles of Philosophy [one of my favorites is the Macua tribe ideals], and there's no such saying to be seen nor heard of.
Meanwhile, outside the movie itself you have a plethora of USA black people using the movie as a political motif [even Snoop Dog makes a "review" of the trailer]

So it is quite logical to take all the positives with a grain of salt, specially from Critics who, themselves, have shown to be PC based previously [such examples: Wonder Woman and Ghost Busters]


This doesn't mean the movie isn't good, or that there isn't something in it for everyone. But I doubt it was done and released innocently and free of political ideas.
