A Good Effort

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 2018)

I loved watching this. The cast and the plotline all of that was beautiful. The one problem I did have with this film is "it glorified destructive and misleading stereotypes that are actually injurious to the African diaspora today." The black girl nutures the safe Caucasian - typical. The black woman is fierce and combative to the man she loves - typical. African vs African American - "Not Cool." This film recieved so much praise for being a 'breakthrough' film for Africans and I would have been able to appreciate completely if it did glorify injurious realities that have disadvantaged and even mentally enslave african people to inferior freedom as a people globally and carry forward the status quo just with a most black cast this time. So for me it was "a good effort" and gets a 10 for progress and quality. However, it was a miss on the message and left something for future projects to aspire to correct. I can't board 'The social media bandwagon' on this one but I see you Black Panther.
