JAY KNOWS DA WEY are you sure your not confusing racism with ethnocentricty? Racism is power plus prejudice, nowhere in the film does Wakanda exercise systematic racism, they do exercise prejudice but no white people are systematically disenfranchised or socio-economically reduced to empower Wakanda.

@omniframe8612 6 лет назад

Sorry but you still don't understand an ethnostate does not equal racial subjugation, let me repeat ETHNOCENTRISM and RACISM are not the same. You are creating a false equivalence Wakanda's borders are closed to avoid the fact that european colonialism has destroyed much of the world including africa. Wakanda doesn't exercise military might or socio racial dominance that sir would be using racism. You have a small understanding of what racism is and yet you seem to want to claim some one is brain washed. Pls learn your lessons . The power and prejudice i am speaking off is in regards to using resources such as military, economics, politics, education and the like to reduce the advancement of people of a certain race. Show me once scene in the film that did this...i'll wait.

One of my favorite themes of the film which this essay didn’t address is the empowering of women and minorities to enter STEM fields.

@MChantal76 6 лет назад

Exactly! I loved the analysis, but I wished they talked more about Shuri and her engineering and how they have been inspiring women and POC.

@myself2noone 6 лет назад

Women mostly choose not to go into STEM fields. Frankly it's pretty sexist to assume work mostly done by men is more worthy then work done mostly by women. And that minority line doesn't really work as Asians tend to be over represented STEM jobs. Don't think they need more empowerment. If you're talking about black people what they need is better schools in places they live not empowerment.

@inasaira8380 5 лет назад

but why dont women go into STEM fields is what OP is talking about? its not because "girls dont like STEM" or whatever. theres nothing inherently unfeminine about STEM fields. its because there is no encouragement there and i think seeing more characters like Shuri is definitely something that can influence young girls into these fields. wanting to be like a certain character in movies and tv shows is typically what sparks the initial interest for certain fields when kids are little.

@StaK_1980 5 лет назад

Ana. Actually girls DON't like stem, a lot of them don't. They are not interested in it, not good in it, get lost in the jargon, or just straight up give up on it. You name it. And while there are a lot of women in the STEM fields, they are equally underrepresented in Oil rig miners, coal miners, bomb defusors, etc. and nobody is talking about that disparity. Also no-one is talking about the under-representation of men in fields like Teachers and nursery. This combined makes me look at arguments like these hollow and going for the cherry-pick instead of actual discussions.

@teresalu5964 5 лет назад

You proved your own point? Women are underrepresented everywhere, not just in STEM. We're just trying to start somewhere, and you criticize it? Men are underrepresented in teaching, but most school administrators are men. Men are underrepresented in nursing because they'd rather all be doctors. Lmao. Women are more represented in jobs that men don't want because they look down on them. Stop blaming women and distracting from the STEM issue with your false victimization of men.

@Nonamearisto 3 года назад

I don't know about that. Most African-American music is simply black people deriving styles from what was once white music and mixing it with their own rhythms. That's how jazz and the blues were created, when African Americans in New Orleans copied white people's marching band music and put their own spin on it. Same thing with tap dancing, which African-Americans derived from Irish step dancing. Even call-and-response style singing was derived from Scottish preachers, as they were just about the only clergy who would minister to black slaves; that's where gospel comes from. As for rock and roll, the original style was black, but the type we know today derives from rockabilly, which is a mix of country music (which is almost entirely white) and what was once a purer form of rock. I guess it doesn't help that most influential rockers since the 1950s were white, and often from Europe, but there you go. Also, most of the instruments normally used by African-American music styles were invented in Europe or the US.

But in my opinion what really made BP different from the other marvel movies is that the director had creative control over his work, I have the feeling that now that the Studio has seen potential in this superhero they'll get their hands on it and "play it safe" by creating another insipid action flick with comedy.

@Lou Bloom @nikemi Uh...I think I may have missed it too. Can you help me out a bit? I thought Thor Ragnarok was really enjoyable but I didn't realize there was a message too. What was Taika Waititi trying to say?

@acnbk 6 лет назад

Johnson Johnson the main plot of the movie is Thor having to deal with Odin's past mistakes. Hela represents Argard's real past that Odin had buried and erased from history coming back to haunt them and reclaim her role. He used Hela to conquer the Nine Realms by slaughtering them, taking whatever they wanted and imposing submission, but when he wanted to change his image he didn't want to reckon with everything he did, so he locked her away and covered everything up... "Odin, proud to have it, but ashamed of how he got it" PS: I recommend you to google "Thor Ragnarok imperialism" or "colonialism", there are some good pieces on the subject that goes way deeper than my summation.

@rubyscott6685 6 лет назад

Lou Bloom I agree. Most commentators focus on the comedy and or on the ludicrous claim that a whopping 90% of the dialog was improvised. They totally missed the fact that Asgard was built on the blood and resources of others and got destroyed by both one of the main colonizers (Hela) and the colonized, Sutur. That part was masterfully done.

@johnsonjohnson3261 6 лет назад

@ruby scott Well actually... that "ludicrous claim" about the dialogue being mostly improvised was made by the director... So I think it's probably got some truth to it. But yeah, of course there definitely seems to be a critique of imperialism buried in this light-hearted Marvel action/comedy. And considering the fact that Taika Waititi's ethnic background is an indigenous Polynesian people, I think colonialism hits pretty close to home for him.

Great video, although there's one thing it seems you really missed about Killmonger. The difference between Tchalla and him aren't just methods. They have different goals as well. TChalla wants to stop the oppression. Killmonger wants to become the oppressor. It's kind of funny you missed that TChalla even explicitly states it during their fight. Also, Killmonger really doesn't show any apparent sexism. He just shows a general lack of respect for everyone. It just so happens that a lot of his victims are women because there are a lot of significant female characters. Actually now that I think about it some more the part with the woman at the museum "lecturing" him really isn't like you characterize it at all. She has no reason to believe that some random American knows more about the stuff she's an expert in than she does. Especially since it's implied that he specifically asked to speak to her and then starts asking her about the display. It'd be racist of her to assume he knows about African stuff just because he's black.

Yes, he was a good father that T'Challa looked up to, but Erik's tragic past falls entirely on T'Chaka's shoulders: he abandoned Erik to learn about black oppression the hard way, and made him suffer for the sins of his own father the Crown Prince, who was really trying to uplift the African-American community in his own (flawed) way. T'Challa's story in this movie is, like you inferred in this video, about moving away from his father's isolationist policies and the mistakes that resulted from them, contrasting Erik simply continuing his father's revolution without really learning why it failed.

My favorite movie of 2018. The first movie ever I've seen multiple times in theaters and I'm so glad you guys covered it. You covered so many of the topics that made it such an impactful movie for me. Thank you.

I saw the movie in theater 3 times. Breaks my heart that Chadwick Boseman is gone...he had so much talent and brought so much heart to the icons he played. RIP.

Such a great analysis, got to learn a lot not just in terms of cinematic themes and symbolism, but also more about culture and history. 😁👌

Love this video! Explained so much history that I didn't think to connect to the movie before. The more I learn about Black Panther, the more I fall in love with it.

I've been binging your videos for days. Great content and you really make me look at people in a different way. I never realized how much i tend to stay in tunnel vision. Thanks!

@InfiniteUmbra 6 лет назад

Great breakdown ladies. One you guys didn't add was the Pan-African flag colors being represented by T'Challa, Nakia and Okoye at the casino with black, green and red. You hit pretty much everything else though. Bravo. 👏

@brittanic3711 5 лет назад

There is so much I want to say and I really hope that I articulate it properly. I've recently become "addicted" to RU-vid and often find myself binge watching videos. I'm a nerd at heart and I really appreciate deep dives into the underlying meaning of things, the way you all often do in your videos. Having said that, as a black woman I (unfortunately) come across a lot of channels here that I love only to come across the one video from a channel that discusses a certain topic pertaining to African-Americans (or political views) that forces me to part ways with the channel. I've watched many of your videos and (honestly) I held off on this one for a while b/c I was afraid it would make me have to run for the hills.... I say all that to say, you ladies did an EXCELLENT job discussing this movie, it's POVs, and being objective about black injustice. And I can't thank you enough for it. You've got a fan for life in me (and I'm on my way to your Patreon!)! Keep up the great work!!!

You guys deliver great content consistently and love what you all do! I enjoy film analysis as well and I'm trying to get better at understanding cinema. Do you guys have any tips or resources where I can learn?

@gva9947 6 лет назад

The scene in which little Erik enters the room to see his father dead legit gave me chills

@gabriellelloyd4541 6 лет назад

Loved the video! If you all make anothe Black Panther video could you explore the framing of the black women in the film and how woman of color are typically seen (or lack there of) in hollywood blockbusters.

@marooftasleem8201 6 лет назад

I think I should quit now asking for episode on Altered Carbon. Anyways another thought provoking episode.Hats off.Love.💝

@dippster357 6 лет назад

HEISENBERG I agree with you they would do a great job in an analysis of that picture i think more people would watch it or would at least consider watching this "Altered Carbon" because it is one of the better NETFLIX movies very good actually i can't believe more people aren't talking about it.

@Dontuse77 6 лет назад

fantastic! oh & can you also do a character-by-character analysis of the fictional players of boardwalk empire & westworld (the way you did mad men & other shows). your videos are just so great!

Fantastic analysis. This movie meant so much to me and I'm not even of African descent. The messages about colonialism really struck close to home as I'm from Latin America. So glad you took the time to go through it and use your platform well :)
