Ludicrous that this was nominated for Best Picture
Black privilege gone insane.
shareIt was a well made, popular, crowd pleasing film. There have been worse films nominated for best picture in the past. I don't think it had anything to do with what you call "black privilege."
shareThere is no way this would've been nominated if the racial connotations weren't there. And we all know the primary reason it made a lot of money.
There have been worse films nominated for best picture in the past.
Films that have been nominated for best picture that are not as good as Black Panther:
Cimarron
Cavalcade
The Little Foxes
The Greatest Show on Earth
Marty
Around the World in 80 Days
Tom Jones
Rachel, Rachel
Five Easy Pieces
The Sting
Rocky
Breaking Away
Ordinary People
Chariots of Fire
Out of Africa
Prizzi's Honor
Dead Poets Society
Four Weddings and a Funeral
Quiz Show
Babe
Sense and Sensibility
The English Patient
Titanic
Good Will Hunting
Shakespeare in Love
The Green Mile
Lost in Translation
Seabiscuit
Ray
Slumdog Millionaire
The Hurt Locker
The Blind Side
Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire
Winter's Bone
The Help
Argo
Roma
Almost all of those movies are superior to Black Panther. I'm not going to go through all of them one by one but here's a few that made me laugh out loud -
The Green Mile
Good Will Hunting
Titanic
Rocky
This "Black Privilege" thingy that you speak of isn't a casual thing or even actionable.
Just for giggles let's test a false negative. Are there movies that have won because of Hispanic, Asian or Jewish Privilege?
Is there a movie that has won because of Black Underprivilege?
I am just asking for a friend.š
Everything surrounding this movie was racially motivated. Black people went to see this in droves because it was the first major production with a black cast/director. You could barely critique this movie without being accused of racism. Objectively this is a mid-tier Marvel movie.

[ā] LiquidOcelot (902) 27 minutes agoYou've moved the definitions, the terms and conditions from Black Privilege to Racially Motivated? Let's stay on point.

You could barely critique this movie without being accused of racism.This is another one of those demonstrably false talking points that only existed on the chat rooms such as this one. Again, what has this to do with Black Privilege?
You meant to say Subjectively and In Your Opinion Black Panther is a mid-tier Marvel movie. Here's your biggest problem. You're not a voting member of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. You're not a member of a Film Society nor a professional Film critic.
Objectively this is a mid-tier Marvel movie.

The finance funding and the source material though are not African dominant. The distribution chains, advertising and marketing were also definitely not African dominant.
The greatest portion of the consumers viewing Black Panther were not African / Black pre-dominant.

I was trying to lead you to:
Coco
Crazy Rich Asians
Shindler's List
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
The primary financial beneficiaries will of course be the White/Jewish owned studios funding the movie but this is unbeknownst to the average viewer paying to see the movie to support the 'blackness' of the project. Irrelevant to the point I was making.You've yet to make a point or even form a consistent question. You started with this:

Black Privilege
Racial Connotations
Racially Motivated
Every thing you've stated is primarily subjective
You've created a very ugly post and line of reasoning. Feel free to denigrate me if it makes you feel better.
That seems to be your course of last resort.
Its a marvel movie. Who cares?
shareWhile I will somewhat agree that Black Panther isn't the type of film the academy normally nominates, I should remind you that Avatar, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Star Wars A New Hope were all nominated for best picture at the Oscars. I like Star Wars and Raiders but there was no way they were going to win best picture.
And there are worse decisions like Shakespear in Love winning best picture over Saving Private Ryan, Sean Connery winning for the Untouchables, Jack Palance winning for City Slickers, Tommy Lee Jones winning for the Fugitive, and Kim Bassinger winning for L.A Confidential.

I LIKE BLACK PANTHER BUT HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOUR HEADING...NOT THE SENTENCE WITHIN THE POST.š
shareIām no fan of this movie but plenty of worse films have been nominated over the years. Even among its own 2018 slate I only preferred The Favourite and BlacKkKlansman.
shareNow that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) is in the queue for release, will you resurrect your Black Privilege 2:(This time it's personal) crusade?
Please?
