Their way of life was the Atlantic slave trade. King Ghezo (played by Boyega) and his female warriors literally fought wars to keep their slave trade going when the British were doing their best to abolish it. A literal quote of the guy in answer to the British demands to stop the slave trade was "The slave trade has been the ruling principle of my people. It is the source of their glory and wealth. Their songs celebrate their victories and the mother lulls the child to sleep with notes of triumph over an enemy reduced to slavery."

It's hilarious. I honestly hope some of the drones who unironically watch it for woke empowerment value decide to look up the real history behind it and get a hearty dose of reality.
hitler outright says one of the objectives of his party must be to erase all memory of the French & American revolutions, and the overall movement for freedom underlying them. Those movements were also about ending slavery.
He would be happy that his mission is being accomplished long after he’s gone.
This makes no sense at all because the only reason german nationalism and therefore nazis exist, are the ideas of the French revolution. Hitler just said a big lie, and like he himself theorized in Mein Kampf, feminine-brained idiots who let their emotions rule them like (You) gobble it up.
It's as if miscegenation is bad and especially so when it's not done from a place of love
Imagine being a mutt with no identity, now imagine being a mutt with no identity AND no love in your life
The difficult pill to swallow is that slavery in universal for mankind, but the place were persisted more in its most natural form is africa. Modern Afroamericans are obsessed by Slavery, maybe, because Slavery was their pre-enslaved history and the direct reason why they were enslaved.
European morality was the reason human sacrifices stopped in america, and the reason why slavery stopped around the world as an accepted thing. Even in southern states of america slavery was a legacy institution, not the active practice to take slave and sell them.
Of course, there is slavery in tribal societies all around the world from Africa to Texas, but their limits are much more flexible than in organized states.
I’m black and didn’t know about this but there are ways to make these people sympathetic. For instance the idea that there’s a difference between enslaving your own people and enslaving people, stripping them of their culture + identity and then doing everything in your power to make them 10th class citizens. I know that sounds like black people can’t do no wrong cope but I can see that being an angle. It’s also possible that they could literally just show that by the end of the movie these people weren’t the noble group trying to stave off some encroaching force that wanted to wipe them off the earth. Something tells me they’re gonna take allot of liberties with this.
I have actually seen the argument made that some forms of slavery where people had more options to eventually earn freedom for themselves or their children were less evil than chattel slavery where slaves were considered legal property. Somehow I doubt this film will even have that much nuance and will literally just not show that the Dahomey were slavers themselves literally fighting a war to protect the slave trade.
It wasn't their own people, they were like Aztecs taking war captives from foreign tribes. Africans don't think of themselves as black, they think of themselves as Fulani, Yoruba, Igbo, et cetera. "Black" really only exists because blacks, as a people like at the individual level, don't know who their father is.

I mean the vimin unit was shooting without aiming from the hip and thankfully turned in the right side. Also there isnt a single frame with nigresses actually using Muskets while they used the training methods of modern military. (got the release that witch ptsd from that)
imagine being remembered for all history as one of the 16 genetic dead ends that died to a bunch of nogs with clubs against your guns and shit
I bet they looked like pic related lmao
>nogs with clubs
They had firearms. The whole transatlantic triangle trade was powered by the nig-circle of sell slaves->buy more guns than your neighbor->capture more slaves->buy more guns.
According to wikipedia, both sides had firearms (Dahomey bought theirs from german traders) but the decisive factor was bayonets, because in the melee the Dahomey wanted to use swords and the french used their bayonets, which turned their rifles into very long spears, giving them an advantage in reach.
This is a somewhat better source for that than Wikipedia - and probably what the book cited by wiki references itself.
>(The Dahomeans) fled to the North, leaving a considerable number of (their) bodies and numerous fast-firing arms of German type (ie repeating metallic cartridge rifles).
The Dahomeans were rich from the slave trade and bought a lot of modern weaponry in the buildup to the second war with France, but hardware doesn't win wars.
>have repeating firearms >still want to charge into melee with swords
Fricking lmao, I want to shit on Da Homeys for this but basically it took WW1 to show everyone how dumb old infantry tactics were.
It just goes to show that even the best weapons won't be effective without training, tactics, doctrine, organisation, and logistics to make them work irl. Present day blacks can't hit each other for shit with modern guns, either.
the white guy according to IMDB is named Santo Ferreira so they're probably trying to spin it as the Portuguese even though Dahomey literally never went to war with the Portuguese.
this is the new normal. they will continue to shit on european history and literally pull made up shit out of their ass for these Black folk to watch so they can spend their Black person money on it and pretend that they actually have culture. I have Black person FATIGUE.
>true story >https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dahomey_Amazons >During a battle with French soldiers at Adegon on 6 October during the second war, the bulk of the Amazon corps were wiped out in a matter of hours in hand-to-hand combat after the French engaged them with a bayonet charge.
It's always weird how downplayed bayonets are in film.
9/10 times it's depicted that riflemen can get a few shots off, then they're helpless when the enemy get to them. In reality, with bayonets, soldiers were still extremely effective. A spear with weight behind it that could be easily withdrawn after stabbing someone.
>break their formation with rifle fire >when the enemy get to you, they're slowed down because of the bodies in front and have zero formation >you know have a slow, loose charge running into a wall of bayonets.
Ahah also the strong female warriors were a necessity out of desperation. A desperation caused by their males being enslaved by other Black person tribes.
I wonder how long the Wikipedia entries get "fortified" in accordance to modern sensibilities
Yes you dumb fricking Black person,they are not currently oppressed, however there entire history consist of them getting there dicks run in to the ground,did you even read your own post you fricking moron ? I bet you don't even know where the term double think came from.
1984 is literally, unironically and without a shred of doubt an anti-socialist book. You literally can't deboonk this no matter how hard you try because fortunately Orwel's writings aren't ministryoftruth-ed yet, and the man was pretty vocal about why and how did he write the novel; and that's not counting his other anti-socialist writings.
>we're so oppressed! >make movies romanticising actual slaver states that fought european powers to keep enslaving fellow Black folk
Black """"people""""
Meanwhile, Black folk on twitter are pushing the idea that Black folk taught Europe how to bathe after non-Black person arab muslims sacked Spain and took over. (Despite roman ruins of baths IN AFRICA hundreds of years before the arabs used them as meat shields to invade Spain.
They're dumb. They'll believe anything. They could make a movie that shows blacks building the moon, and they'd believe it.
Because they wouldn't give France control of the port they said they would and continued taxes there, so they could fund their armies to go capture more slaves for sale and ritualistic sacrifice in the thousands
Holy shit, this movie is literally about the British trying to end slavery, and they're painted as the ad guys.
I guarentee you they will NOT mention this in the movie. There is absolutely no way anyone in this century would greenlight a movie GLORIFYING THE BIGGEST SLAVE STATE EVER TO EXIST.
>be boyega >protest the treatment of blacks worldwide >play the role of king to the dahomeys >a group of savage Black folk who supplied the rest of the world with slaves
I really don't get it. I can't wrap my head around how truly terrible this is.
The Dahomeys were the aggressors. They were trying to conquer their neighbors while simultaneously breaking a treaty with a world superpower. They were slavers who butchered entire peoples. And Hollywood is glorifying them.
The French were the GOOD GUYS in this fight. The British had JUST ENDED SLAVERY here. This is absolute madness. I really cannot stomach how this will distort actual truth to fit a narrative that is so horrifically wrong. The people that will enjoy this movie are the very people that would be disgusted by the actual events.
It's an overton window shift. Feminism has surpassed clown world levels to the point where ANY loose account of le strong women in history gets rubber stamp approval. The greatest sin in history, we are taught (slavery), takes a back seat in order to tell the story of black female warriors for the express purpose of feminist propaganda
This. It's all about women, the goal is to make women unlovable and men pathetic. Everyone on Cinemaphile is controlled opposition to r*edit and onions.
It's divide and conquer ground zero
>The people that will enjoy this movie are the very people that would be disgusted by the actual events.
I saw a Youtube comment thread about people defending the Da Homies slavers because "Shieetttt all da white man stole our bread this tha only thing they could do to make a living"
I seriously don't know what would surprise me more, if they actually try to be historically acurate painting Black folk as bad and whites as good, or if they go full distortion and play it straight.

Nazis took a devastated economy and became so powerful that almost all the other white people in the world had to band together to defeat them.
Blacks live in one of the most resource rich places in the world and have received trillions in aid, yet they have achieved nothing.
They have to be self aware of this, right? They are either going to spin this as it is a good thing to show a bad side of black culture sometimes. Like how its nice when a black person can play a villain. Or are they going to push the narrative that this is the culture they merely adopted in the face of british colonialism/imperialism? Most likely it will probably be a balance of both of these to help ride the wave righteously. Either way it can't just be glorification of this culture ignorant of what they were actually about, right?
For what’s it’s worth though I know it’s not much the movie could literally touch on that. It mostly like won’t but there is a small possibility that the trailers are bait in switch. Again it probably won’t but you never know.
Even though this movie looks moronic. This specific thing might not be wrong. Some civilizations didn't ahve a word for a female ruler and something like "Queen" meant the rulers spouse. So on the very rare occasions when women did rule they took a masculine title. This is the case with the title "Pharaoh" for example.
>battle of thermopylae >5000 greeks fighting 100,000 persians

>The actions of the Dahomey Kingdom led to Africans being sent as slaves to various regions including developed countries. The descendants of those slaves are now able to enjoy the privileges not available to rest of the world especially Africa.
You homosexuals celebrated that piece of shit RRR which did the exact same thing but with pajeets.
The British Empire was the best thing to ever happen to these godforsaken tribals.
Also most of Cinemaphile are just pajeets. The pajeetposting is done by upper middle class indians using their mum's computer inbetween mouthfuls of biriyani
RRR was 1 hour and half of bawwling about Brits and projecting on them shit Pajeets do to each other today(as if we ever had concepts as horrible as castes) and the second half was anime-tier wish fulfillment. Yeah they can probably direct it better than the literal homosexual erectus in the OP, but the sentiment is the same.
Idk about Twitter but I checked reddit and the first big thread I saw about the movie they were discussing the slave stuff and mostly didn't seem happy about it and weren't defending it or trying to handwave it.

The funny thing about this is that any justification for their war can be dismissed with "no they fought for slavery" as they've done twisting themselves inside out to condemn the South.

Could have just paid a fair wage in order to entice people to migrate to work for them.

ive never seen any historical photos of this hair style pretty sure its one she boons just recently adapted but because Black folk lack nuance they decided to put it into a historical movie along with the jungle trap beats and twerk music
Sure but it was a different concept with different cultural assumptions.
As I've mentioned before, the cultural institution of slavery in pre-state societies is much more flexible and porous.
before watching this i wondered how long before they would add Black person bop or a trap beat and its literally instantly, they couldnt even craft historically accurate music they just added in the most shallow piece of Black person shit even most Black folk dont listen to, they also have them leaping in the air ala arya stark mode i shut it off after that i just cant the only good Black person kino is hood kino, also they are hiding boyegas buck hips
Historical inaccuracy aside, I think we can all agree this is a cynical, vein attempt by Sony to recapture the box office success of Black Panther by having an African-centric story. Yet, to trick Black Americans into paying to see a film about their slavers with the pretense of BLK KWEENS prevailing against Whitey is quite the practical joke. A sick one, to say the least.

Not necessarily. Slavery is universal consequence of organized states.
Of course, there is slavery in tribal societies all around the world from Africa to Texas, but their limits are much more flexible than in organized states.
The point of this movie is to whitewash this history so that normies won't know what actually happened. It's very deliberate
This.

Them: "Stop with your patriarchical white lies! The history books are lies! Reeeeeee!"
Viola should be driven out of the black community for this movie. It's not art, it's propaganda.

Unlike your unreality the Dahomey made them into mass sacrifices, clearly much better.

I mean the vimin unit was shooting without aiming from the hip and thankfully turned in the right side. Also there isnt a single frame with nigresses actually using Muskets while they used the training methods of modern military. (got the release that witch ptsd from that)
>downplaying the power of artillery because "muh race"
fricking moronic homosexual
how did those 18 guys die? malaria?
AIDS from raping the vimin military.
imagine being remembered for all history as one of the 16 genetic dead ends that died to a bunch of nogs with clubs against your guns and shit
I bet they looked like pic related lmao
>Dead ends
each probably fathered more rape kids than you have friends
>nogs with clubs
They had firearms. The whole transatlantic triangle trade was powered by the nig-circle of sell slaves->buy more guns than your neighbor->capture more slaves->buy more guns.
They had fire arms,moronic
But they couldnt use it properly because of the weight
According to wikipedia, both sides had firearms (Dahomey bought theirs from german traders) but the decisive factor was bayonets, because in the melee the Dahomey wanted to use swords and the french used their bayonets, which turned their rifles into very long spears, giving them an advantage in reach.
Yeah, but still... Dying by the THOUSANDS? Are they literal human lemmings or something?
fricking spear technology man, how does it work
This is a somewhat better source for that than Wikipedia - and probably what the book cited by wiki references itself.
>(The Dahomeans) fled to the North, leaving a considerable number of (their) bodies and numerous fast-firing arms of German type (ie repeating metallic cartridge rifles).
The Dahomeans were rich from the slave trade and bought a lot of modern weaponry in the buildup to the second war with France, but hardware doesn't win wars.
>have repeating firearms
>still want to charge into melee with swords
Fricking lmao, I want to shit on Da Homeys for this but basically it took WW1 to show everyone how dumb old infantry tactics were.
It just goes to show that even the best weapons won't be effective without training, tactics, doctrine, organisation, and logistics to make them work irl. Present day blacks can't hit each other for shit with modern guns, either.
They had (per the same source) breech loading cannons, too.
>dahomey
>da homies
time travelling nogs confirmed
rip da homies
the white guy according to IMDB is named Santo Ferreira so they're probably trying to spin it as the Portuguese even though Dahomey literally never went to war with the Portuguese.
Especially ironic since king Gezo literally had a Portuguese slave trader as a right hand man.
this is the new normal. they will continue to shit on european history and literally pull made up shit out of their ass for these Black folk to watch so they can spend their Black person money on it and pretend that they actually have culture. I have Black person FATIGUE.
TIME TO DIE
>this is the new normal
what a time to be alive, eh?
Frick fatigue, I want revenge!
>true story
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dahomey_Amazons
>During a battle with French soldiers at Adegon on 6 October during the second war, the bulk of the Amazon corps were wiped out in a matter of hours in hand-to-hand combat after the French engaged them with a bayonet charge.
It's always weird how downplayed bayonets are in film.
9/10 times it's depicted that riflemen can get a few shots off, then they're helpless when the enemy get to them. In reality, with bayonets, soldiers were still extremely effective. A spear with weight behind it that could be easily withdrawn after stabbing someone.
>break their formation with rifle fire
>when the enemy get to you, they're slowed down because of the bodies in front and have zero formation
>you know have a slow, loose charge running into a wall of bayonets.
Ahah also the strong female warriors were a necessity out of desperation. A desperation caused by their males being enslaved by other Black person tribes.
I wonder how long the Wikipedia entries get "fortified" in accordance to modern sensibilities
Saint Domingue for the Saint Dominguians
brilliant
Id still rather have this than a "historic" movie where the same actress plays Joan of Arc or whatever
you can just tell us you’re moronic no need to beat around the bush
You love the blacks, I get it.
>black history is literally just european powers taking turns pushing their shit in
>They're not oppressed!
>LOL everyone took turns oppressing them
White people have the worst case of doublethink imagineable.
Yes you dumb fricking Black person,they are not currently oppressed, however there entire history consist of them getting there dicks run in to the ground,did you even read your own post you fricking moron ? I bet you don't even know where the term double think came from.
>I bet you don't even know where the term double think came from.
1984, an antifacist book that you probably haven't read.
GEORGE ORWELL SAYS TRANS RIGHTS
You mean anti-communist.
Was also anti-commie
1984 is literally, unironically and without a shred of doubt an anti-socialist book. You literally can't deboonk this no matter how hard you try because fortunately Orwel's writings aren't ministryoftruth-ed yet, and the man was pretty vocal about why and how did he write the novel; and that's not counting his other anti-socialist writings.
anti totalitarian you mean, you fricking gimp suit commie.
>we're so oppressed!
>make movies romanticising actual slaver states that fought european powers to keep enslaving fellow Black folk
Black """"people""""
>White people have the worst case of doublethink imagineable.
They were A. oppressing their own people and B. their AA descendents are in no way oppressed now.
Eat shit.
tell me how these event relate to homies alive in the usa today right now you leftpol troonshit
Meanwhile, Black folk on twitter are pushing the idea that Black folk taught Europe how to bathe after non-Black person arab muslims sacked Spain and took over. (Despite roman ruins of baths IN AFRICA hundreds of years before the arabs used them as meat shields to invade Spain.
They're dumb. They'll believe anything. They could make a movie that shows blacks building the moon, and they'd believe it.
>make a movie about getting your ass handed to you by a couple hundred frenchmen
do blacks really?
Because they wouldn't give France control of the port they said they would and continued taxes there, so they could fund their armies to go capture more slaves for sale and ritualistic sacrifice in the thousands
>ywn see actual military tactics about French Squares, barricade warfare, or any kind of logic.
Zulu was a real gem, bros
No, this movie is about them getting their ass handed to them by British anti slavery ships.
>this is our 300!!!
>except we greatly outnumber our enemy and we lost because we're moronic
Holy shit, this movie is literally about the British trying to end slavery, and they're painted as the ad guys.
I guarentee you they will NOT mention this in the movie. There is absolutely no way anyone in this century would greenlight a movie GLORIFYING THE BIGGEST SLAVE STATE EVER TO EXIST.
>some things are worth fighting for....
>fights for slavery
Sounds pretty based to me tbh
>be boyega
>protest the treatment of blacks worldwide
>play the role of king to the dahomeys
>a group of savage Black folk who supplied the rest of the world with slaves
>tfw you're not allowed to kill babies anymore
I really don't get it. I can't wrap my head around how truly terrible this is.
The Dahomeys were the aggressors. They were trying to conquer their neighbors while simultaneously breaking a treaty with a world superpower. They were slavers who butchered entire peoples. And Hollywood is glorifying them.
The French were the GOOD GUYS in this fight. The British had JUST ENDED SLAVERY here. This is absolute madness. I really cannot stomach how this will distort actual truth to fit a narrative that is so horrifically wrong. The people that will enjoy this movie are the very people that would be disgusted by the actual events.
Just. what the frick
It's an overton window shift. Feminism has surpassed clown world levels to the point where ANY loose account of le strong women in history gets rubber stamp approval. The greatest sin in history, we are taught (slavery), takes a back seat in order to tell the story of black female warriors for the express purpose of feminist propaganda
This. It's all about women, the goal is to make women unlovable and men pathetic. Everyone on Cinemaphile is controlled opposition to r*edit and onions.
It's divide and conquer ground zero
Yeah, can't wait for that actual warrior woman Boudica film being made. Oh, wait, she's a ginger. That can't happen.
>The people that will enjoy this movie are the very people that would be disgusted by the actual events.
I saw a Youtube comment thread about people defending the Da Homies slavers because "Shieetttt all da white man stole our bread this tha only thing they could do to make a living"
Cognitive dissonance at its highest form.
I seriously don't know what would surprise me more, if they actually try to be historically acurate painting Black folk as bad and whites as good, or if they go full distortion and play it straight.
>Has become an expert of Dahomey's history within the last 15 minutes.
no need to be an expert to see how wrong it is thats the point.
you don’t even need to be to see this bullshit. that’s how clownworld it is. lol
>does more research than the majority of the audience (and the film crew apparently) ever will.
it's not like that they had so long of a history lol
>it's not like that they had so long of a history lol
Longer than nazi Germany and their """"Thousand"""" year reich lmaooo
imagine coping this bad about a nonexistant tribe lol
>nonexistant tribe
Nazis?
>black civilization
>national socialist civilization
>blacks
>inventing the wheel
wait so now nazis don't exist right, then why every other word you use is nazi this and nazi that.
pls kys and save us and yourself from your stupidity.
...and go back
Nazis took a devastated economy and became so powerful that almost all the other white people in the world had to band together to defeat them.
Blacks live in one of the most resource rich places in the world and have received trillions in aid, yet they have achieved nothing.
They have to be self aware of this, right? They are either going to spin this as it is a good thing to show a bad side of black culture sometimes. Like how its nice when a black person can play a villain. Or are they going to push the narrative that this is the culture they merely adopted in the face of british colonialism/imperialism? Most likely it will probably be a balance of both of these to help ride the wave righteously. Either way it can't just be glorification of this culture ignorant of what they were actually about, right?
They're obviously just going to pretend none of that shit happened and it was a war between good black people and bad white people.
Sam Raimi is ghost-directing it. It's meant to look like a movie that empowers blacks, but once people go see it they will learn the truth.
For what’s it’s worth though I know it’s not much the movie could literally touch on that. It mostly like won’t but there is a small possibility that the trailers are bait in switch. Again it probably won’t but you never know.
>woman king
You mean "queen"?
Even though this movie looks moronic. This specific thing might not be wrong. Some civilizations didn't ahve a word for a female ruler and something like "Queen" meant the rulers spouse. So on the very rare occasions when women did rule they took a masculine title. This is the case with the title "Pharaoh" for example.
Literally A Birth of a Nation but for black people
>glorifying this group of people who were enslaving their own race is okay though
>battle of thermopylae
>5000 greeks fighting 100,000 persians
politics aside it makes for a great underdog action flick
>franco-dahomean war
>several hundred french vs 8000 Black folk
politics aside it shows a numerically superior force getting absolutely ventilated by a small group of frogs.
Maybe the movie ends with the title card:
>The actions of the Dahomey Kingdom led to Africans being sent as slaves to various regions including developed countries. The descendants of those slaves are now able to enjoy the privileges not available to rest of the world especially Africa.
womonke
You homosexuals celebrated that piece of shit RRR which did the exact same thing but with pajeets.
The British Empire was the best thing to ever happen to these godforsaken tribals.
RRR had SOUL.
Also most of Cinemaphile are just pajeets. The pajeetposting is done by upper middle class indians using their mum's computer inbetween mouthfuls of biriyani
RRR was 1 hour and half of bawwling about Brits and projecting on them shit Pajeets do to each other today(as if we ever had concepts as horrible as castes) and the second half was anime-tier wish fulfillment. Yeah they can probably direct it better than the literal homosexual erectus in the OP, but the sentiment is the same.
do not bloody redeem sir
RRR was complete trash, dumb whitoid.
The difference is that the Indians weren't fighting for the right to kill thousands of people at a time in ritualistic human sacrifice
How is twitter spinning this off? You cant ignore the slavery accusations because theyre well documented
From what I'm seeing, most of them are just complaining about the title
Idk about Twitter but I checked reddit and the first big thread I saw about the movie they were discussing the slave stuff and mostly didn't seem happy about it and weren't defending it or trying to handwave it.
Finally a movie about state's rights
Thats exactly how russians Monarchists makes movies right now. Basically Hitler invaded russia to same them from Red opression.
Talk about rent-free
And they Tsar lol who ordered special armed trains to roll and shoot everyone they see on the roads then pillage, kill and rape is somehow, a HERO of the russian people.
Would you like to give this another go, in english this time?
>Tsar
>who ordered special armed trains to roll and shoot everyone they see on the roads then pillage, kill and rape
>is somehow a HERO of the russian people.
Whats the problem?
Name one (1) such movie.
but that would be an accurate depiction of history
>Captura de pantalla
puto del orto
The funny thing about this is that any justification for their war can be dismissed with "no they fought for slavery" as they've done twisting themselves inside out to condemn the South.
that thread has since been cancelled: https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/vrxkzf/new_images_from_the_woman_king/
Twittergays also hate it.
They made a movie about Benin?
We wuz wiminz kangnz and homiez n shit
immediately looked up the director and checked her bio and it's the most predictable checklist of sjw blm grifter
tl;dr mixed roastie, from a white mom and black dad, white mom gave her up to adoption, raised by two white parents in a middle class safe environment, yet self hating her white side and obsessed with blackness, whole filmography is muh black african victimhood identity bs mixed with intersectional feminist moronation; climbed the ladder via lobbying and affirmative action instead of just being a good storyteller and meritocracy
shocking

From the treiler i did see in fact that they brought a knife into a gun fight.
Women aren't even allowed to be queens anymore.
>fought to keep slave trade going
I see that leftism once again stands defiant in the face of reality.
Look at all these bot comments
baka
ITS A MOVIE!
Something tells me a movie about the brave nazi army fighting to liberate the israelites wouldn't elicit the same response.
Black bros.... We lost another one
This will be the only thing Cinemaphile will post about this movie when it comes out
that homie aint white, what u on about
That's clearly your average Frenchman
Why are there no white Africans amongst them and everyone acting like that is the norm? We have black medieval Europeans and what not in every movie for example.
looks pretty good ngl
Not sure I can enjoy this if there isn't a single white African warrior. I need to feel represented, you know?
I also want Asians and native americans too. We already have Kung Fu in trailer so they should have caster Jackie Chan as a king.
Yes Jackie Chan would be great as a King

>Was it a struggle to get the movie made?
Davis: It’s always hard. It is hard to be an artist, hard to be a Black artist, and even harder to be a Black female artist.
Prince-Bythewood: It takes so long to get to a greenlight, especially to tell a story like this. There are so many hurdles—and the finish line keeps getting moved. I just kept picturing the first time I would be on set, and say “action,” and look around and be surrounded by us. I held that thought with me until it happened
Were the hurdles finding a company stupid enough to bankroll a movie about black people fighting for slavery
>Were the hurdles finding a company stupid enough to bankroll a movie about black people fighting for slavery
Nope. The hurdles were finding a slot in the state-mandated propaganda conveyor belt to fit in their "movie". Shit's packed. The timetable's full, they'll soon have to fight to get theirs out the door lmao it's going to be like government contractors
Tell this to all that Famous balck millionaires actors and singers. Im sure its rly hard to them.
I've a mental picture of execs being really excited at pitch meetings, before they get shown articles about the kingdom the film is about...
and then getting even more excited over the opportunity to clean up a bit of history?

>hey bro let’s import millions of uncivilized low IQ jungle people and breed them and then set them free en masse lol
What the frick were they thinking?
Could have just paid a fair wage in order to entice people to migrate to work for them. Free motivated workers would have saved from numerous expenses, increased efficiency and fostered innovation, which would have stopped the long term disadvantage in economic strength against the North, which would have made the moronic civil war to retain your right to larp as aristocrats both distantly winnable and altogether unnecessary.
>lowIQ muttoids would become productive members of society if only they were paid a little better
hello r*ddit
Modern workers isnt fricking free lol they work for minimal wake compared to what they produce. And you NEEd to work or you just die.

100% correct!!!FACT!!!
ive never seen any historical photos of this hair style pretty sure its one she boons just recently adapted but because Black folk lack nuance they decided to put it into a historical movie along with the jungle trap beats and twerk music
ITS CULTURAL Black person NATIVE AMERICAN MOHAWK AFRO
KANGS WEAR IT FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS
>African American audiences will cheer on people who enslaved their ancestors
>white invent slavery and force Blacks to do it
>this is Blacks fault
Frick you
yeah but they invented freedom so
>white invent slavery
and just like that all of a sudden egyptians and other groups are no longer black
tbf the ones who first institutionalized slavery were the mesopotamians
I'm pretty sure the concept of forcing your defeated enemies to work for you is as old as human conflict.
its a stupid concept, they should have just massacred them all.
Sure but it was a different concept with different cultural assumptions.
As I've mentioned before, the cultural institution of slavery in pre-state societies is much more flexible and porous.
who invented the Annual Customs of Dahomey including the yearly human sacrifices of hundreds if not thousands of slaves?
before watching this i wondered how long before they would add Black person bop or a trap beat and its literally instantly, they couldnt even craft historically accurate music they just added in the most shallow piece of Black person shit even most Black folk dont listen to, they also have them leaping in the air ala arya stark mode i shut it off after that i just cant the only good Black person kino is hood kino, also they are hiding boyegas buck hips
That all basically felt like new A-train promo.
awful actress that always has a stiff face
looks as if she is permanently constipated
Im personally having a blast reading all the cope comments from people defending this shit sandwich
The Woman King? So The Queen?
>56 year old woman actually trains for an action role
>Cinemaphile mocks it
>OH MY GOD! SHE REALLY TRAINED FOR A ROLE?!! GIVE HER AN OSCAR!!!
She trained for few weeks and pumps before every scene.
Also no one fricking comented her body except a dead fish face. Did she trained to make that face?
>trained to jump around a green screen for action scenes with 1 second cuts
Historical inaccuracy aside, I think we can all agree this is a cynical, vein attempt by Sony to recapture the box office success of Black Panther by having an African-centric story. Yet, to trick Black Americans into paying to see a film about their slavers with the pretense of BLK KWEENS prevailing against Whitey is quite the practical joke. A sick one, to say the least.
Except BLM Black folk/crowd dont pay for shit in their lifes.
Why dislike? I don’t get it. I’d rather contain in that kind of movie?

Dude, this b***h is like 57 years old and has been doing "hardass Black woman in a position of authority" for decades now and you're talking like she's some new starlet.
finally a movie for black people in favour of slavery.
New poster just dropped lads. The guys in marketing are taking an interesting approach. Let's see if it pays off.
Brave and powerful
Can't wait to throw up posters at my theatre
Can we cool it with the ebonics in this thread? This is a proper English-speaking board, so keep your “street slang” to yourself.
It’s THE Homey. Not “DA” homey.
who is going to tell em?
Why did the j*nnies deleted the Cobra Verde thread? It's totally a different Dahomey movie...
If you told me this was the plot of a Boondocks episode I'd believe you. You cannot get more asinine than appealing to african americans by glorifying an african slave state
Wasn't most of the French army in the war they are depicting also Black?
>BASED ON POWERFUL TRUE EVENTS
>WITNESS THE MOST EXCEPTIONAL FEMALE WARRIORS TO EVER LIVE
>Depicts qwain hacking down whyte bois with her dumbass sword by the dozens
I can't believe white people forced those poor innocent blacks to create an economy and culture centred on slavery.
yep, if it wasn't for John B Racism birth name David J Cohen this would've never happened.
it really do be like that they wouldn't be slavers if white man didn't come and ask to buy slaves from them, they would be on the moon right now
There was a bad episode of Battlestar Galactica with this title. This is some code or theme.
