Leo yelling to Teyana "of course I love fukking black girls. What the fukk do you think I'm doing here?"

Please tell me thats not actually said in this movie

If this review from Letterbox is accurate then get this shyt the fukk outta here. Swirl movies can kick rocks

Saying you want to fukk a Black woman over and over again whether you are a revolutionary or a supremacist does not equal Black women being respected. Josephine Baker knew this and used it for espionage & I love her. I don’t love this movie.
I am thinking of Hanif Abdurraquib’s essay on Josephine Baker.

As a Guatemalan Black woman, yes, I want to see leading roles like myself on screen. Yes, leading roles in a well known director’s movie. But not with the expected firm smack on the ass. Not with your revolutionary Black girlfriend begging to have sex after an explosion so you can tell her crazy self not right now. Not with a white parent screaming “mutt” at their mixed child. “I can’t do her hair” is the bare minimum of things that could have been talked about in the care of having a child of color.

What I liked: Willa’s outfit, the performances (especially Benicio), the part in Benicio’s apartment with all of the families being asked to move, and the light behind the skater boy’s hair looking down the roof.

Maybe I’m just a hater. I was a skeptical at the trailer (as in why is a white man telling this story?). Eventually I felt like I was excited to see a movie highlighting Black women, but after seeing it felt it highlighted how the white men are dealing with the consequence of being attracted to one. Shucks.

And here's another review. What kinda shyt is this

Very pissed leaving this film.. Leo was such a useless prick & wasted half of the movie being drunk/high. This felt like white supremacy co-opting the “black radical dream” and in this case the people of color still are left on the side of the road to further white supremacy/white complacency.

Leo was never a radical or revolutionary, he was a fragile ally who was literally carried thru this film by every other poc. To the point where Benecio has to legitimately kick him out the car for him to actually begin his journey.

Also the backdrop of the film was the “revolution” but meanwhile we’re stuck following a white supremacist trying to get a paternity test.

PTA is off his rocker

And here's another review. What kinda shyt is this

This movie would have been better without black people and just having it be a White and Non-Black Hispanic movie.

Wasn't shyt Black Revolutionary about this movie, if anything its just the trope of black bodies being used to advance everyone else.

Spoiler

Teyana talking that bullshyt feminist shyt about abortion and wemons rights while letting white supremacist nut in her and keeping the baby lol this movie reflects the actual black women who hang around white liberals so black women being outraged is cap as the shyt they doing is just being played in the public

Like I said I had to turn my brain off to a few things that really were not even necessary to get the movie across.

Yea this shyt is going straight to the dumpster

I don't appreciate bullshyt like this at all.

RIP to a real revolutionary Assata Shakur!!!

I called this stuff out early in the thread as I didnt want to derail but after watching it the stuff just sinks in even more how unnecessary it was and takes away from the technical movie I watched

 

[BlackMajik]

Yes, early in the film Leo establishes he likes black woman just as much as Lockjaw Then Teyana proceeds to fukk one cac after another.

No titties are shown

Swirl fantasy/Fetishization shyt

Not with your revolutionary Black girlfriend begging to have sex after an explosion so you can tell her crazy self not right now.

Another part of the movie that made me cringe. She was begging for it before the explosion even went off. Like who the fukk has time for that unless you want to get caught.

with item 1, I saw it solo so good to hear you with some women who saw the bullshyt too lol. I think their characters were more satire, which is why dudes talking about the daughter "fighting the good fighter" and continuing the legacy is weird because her mom was a Wench and a Rat who's activism seemed more like entertainment/a video game for her. This is why I said I wish they made Regina and Wood married/a couple to show the parallel of real activitst and the folks looking for purpose who really in over their head like Leo and Teyana

I've come around on that point too

Spoiler

"jungle p*ssy" is legitimately a bad character, and yeah, the characterization of black women with those two is pretty bad. Prefidia is just legitimately a bad person and I had no pity for her, and am glad she got no visual redemption.

Like I said I had to turn my brain off to a few things that really were not even necessary to get the movie across.

IMO I feel like this movie was a satire of not just the alt-right/far right but also of the modern-day equivalent of the black liberation movements, like for example the organizations Black Lives Matter, because what you said in the spoiler is really some shyt I can see one of their members saying.

@ you getting mad over two random Letterbox reviews from people you don't know before you've even watched the movie. Total loser shyt. Just say you weren't gonna watch the movie.

Spoiler

I mean her and Leo are like the satire so called Left Wing activist, I think iRegina Halls character and Del Toro were like the only legit "freedom fighters". At first I thought Teyana was playing Sean Penn but then keeping the baby was odd but whatever but then in retrospect as a socalled left wing feminist she should have aborted that damn baby lol. From a Technical standpoint this is a good movie, but because the theme is presented to a lens we see today there are just things we can't ignore, and if you didnt want to show the balance, then I would have no problem with everyone being wacky as fukk to hammer in this is satire. Everyone is fair game in my book if you poking fun, but tie in the "lesson" at least. The little girl aint fighting shyt and continuing shyt, her mama was a wench as rat and her dad is a useless junkie lol

Spoiler

it's a satire on everything, but certain choices is what throws things off, like the daughter should have found her own lane and movie to go down the path she choose vs her weak ass parents. And I already called out my feeling of Black men not existing in this film and the two that did was 1. First person killed in the movie with the bank robbery scene, 2.Wood Harris bucking it up and then dying lmfao

 

[BlackMajik]

Also to @Apollo Creed for saying that wasn't nothing Black Revolutionary about this shyt confirming what those reviews said
