<PERSON> and <PERSON>
Journey to watching/rewatching every BEST PICTURE nominee of The 21st Century Day V: I got to revisit <PERSON> <PERSON> and <PERSON>
“You can murder a revolutionary, but you can’t murder a revolution!”
With what is only as intense and dark as films come, this film does speak volumes about today’s climates. A story that so overwhelmingly tells what is still true to today, rooted into the truth. The performances, the direction, everything articulates the most important factor of this film, and that is too strive and become civilized. In a world where black people can be shot for getting some groceries. Where the world is unsafe because of people who don’t believe in change. 647
<PERSON> and the Illinois Black Panther Party believed in the change that fueled the future. They brought their message and their pride with them everywhere they went.
I love the ambition that went into this film, and I was astonished by how much this was every bit <PERSON>’s story as it is <PERSON>’s. And not to disregard the obviousness of <PERSON> being the lead of the film playing <PERSON>, but how it really wonderfully balanced that true life and true complexion in the two. <PERSON> acts his ass off, deserving that Oscar. <PERSON> should’ve joined him and <PERSON> with a Supporting Actress nomination, that’s for damn sure. The whole film is just one, amazing political piece that’ll stay relevant for years to come.
See you tomorrow when I revisit our reigning Best Picture winner: <PERSON> CODA!
