WHAT’S IT ABOUT
After the death of his father, T’Challa returns home to the African nation of Wakanda to take his rightful place as king. When a powerful enemy suddenly reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king — and as Black Panther — gets tested when he’s drawn into a conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people.
MOVIESinMO REVIEW
I loved this movie. Excellent representation of Black people AND educational without being preachy. Like other Marvel, Disney, or Pixar movies, Black Panther teaches the importance of family and acceptance in an exciting, fun and straightforward way. All principal characters are explained fully without slowing down the story or the action. Like most Marvel movies, they don’t rely on racism to tell the story. They do, however, use subtle stereotypes such as the van and family references in Ant-Man or the “All-American” White soldier in Captain America.
Black Panther does have these subtle references, BUT they do not take away from the story, and in some places, they are needed. Black Panther made his debut in Captain America: Civil War fighting on the side the of Tony Stark. Two years later, Black Panthers solo film introduces us to the wondrous world of Wakanda. T’Challa’s has to return home to assume the throne of his father, T’Chaka, held until his death in C.A.: Civil War. This is where we are introduced to T’Challa’s family. His sister, mother, ex-lover, and any and all those with relevance to the story. Through flashbacks, we find out what T’Calla’s father did and what type of person he was. This is where we see N’Jobu, T’Chaka’s brother living in Oakland California working undercover.
T’Chaka becomes judge, jury, and executioner leaving Erik Stevens, N’Jobu’s son, a bitter orphan wanting revenge. Fast forward to the present, and Erik, now known as Killmonger, devises a plan to overthrow Wakanda with the assistance of Ulysses Klaue. Once Killmonger and Klaue get to Wakanda, the story and the action shift into high gear and never slow down. The line between good and evil are blurred as we discover certain truths about T’Challa’s family. We begin to question Killmongers motives and empathize with his cause. Although Wakanda does not exist, I think using a fictional name was the only way this movie was going to be produced at such a high level with a message we all so urgently needed to see and hear. WAKANDA FOREVER!!
