Watching this it feels like you're in a world where Blacks were never underrepresented in Hollywood.
The fact that a movie with this kind of a budget and marketing toward a mainstream audience, with a 99% Black cast is astonishing.
Historically there's been nothing like it, sans the original.
This is even blacker than the first. They pile on the African culture. Even the tribal score with the djembe.
Also the one girl, the MIT student, looks really familiar. Is she the one from RAY-RAY on the Disney Channel?
All-Black movies catered to mainstream in the 80s didn't exist. They were Blacksploitation flicks. The 90s started gaining traction with things like House Party, but these were low-budget and marketed toward that demographic.
But no one was making Star Wars and Lawrence of Arabia with an all-black cast. This is really the first of its kind.
White people have no means to complain. I mean, film was invented in the late 1800s, and we're just now getting all-Black films that are just superhero films and have nothing to do with the Black socioeconomic issues, and white people are flocking to them because they can enjoy them, now.
Never lose your desire.
