Please consider thinking more positively. Be the counterweight to all this madness. … I think many people who hold internalized biases, or submit to the caste system, will see the film or be influenced by it.
I agree it was a fantastic movie. Was I the only one who had problems with it on Hulu? It kept cutting to a commercial at each pivotal moment and then it would jump ahead. It was frustrating enough for me, having seen it already, I’d hate for it to be someone’s first experience.
I used to love his ice cream but now im obsessed with hers only now that caramel and Graham takes the cake. I truly love Ava her research through art is so awesome. I'd love to do set design for one of her films someday.
It’s an absolute masterpiece of Ava’s! It’s a history piece full of lessons and real stories from real people and they move me in such a way that I can’t quite put in text form right now. I bought her movie and I’ve watched it three times so far. I love Ava and her works and so far this is her best work, in my opinion… also my opinion, a must watch for everyone of all generations.🫶
The book burning reminds me of Fahrenheit 451, the first movie based on the book of the same name. I don't know if I'll be able to watch the film, because I don't have Hulu.
I am in awe of Ava DuVernay's brilliance and that of Isabel Wilkerson. These geniuses are such a necessary gift to our current world. The book Caste is actually very readable - amazing give its content. Both of these women's catalogs of work should be required reading and viewing for all Americans. They embody everything that scares people who want to ban books and critical race theory education.
I watched this incredible, transformative movie three times in the theater and will be watching it again streaming on Hulu. It’s a must see movie for everyone who cares about the world
I haven’t seen this new one, but Selma is sooo good, we use it in school teaching MLK’s speech I Have a Dream. It helps the kids to actually understand what the speech was about in a much deeper way.
Thank you for being the kind of teacher we need. So sad that it seems to be such a hard and undercompensated job these days - especially in areas where they don't want you to teach MLK's legacy.
Yes and everyone need to know there are two seasons of Ultra -- so if you only heard the first one, the second one has just started; and if you are listening to the new one now, go back and hear the first one too!
Origin is an outstanding film. Steven Colbert should have watched it before this interview to take the conversation to a deeper level. This film should be required viewing in every school. I would love to see five different directors take this story and tell it in their own different ways. Very disappointing that Colbert hasn’t seen this, and didn’t have a more meaningful conversation with Ava. Watch this film.
Isabel Wilkerson also wrote: The Warmth of Other Suns. I actually have that one but just haven't made time yet to read it. I plan to now tho, since i can't afford Caste! I believe it will be about Class & Caste & the Intersectionality of so many of our Struggles. The Working Class is made up of All People of Color - which includes white people; and both women & men; & gay & straight; & Immigrants - both documented & undocumented & Folks i haven't even thought of yet. But i'll bet, that if we all finally realize to stop looking sideways & downward, for the blame for our own sorry predicaments & started to finally look UP, at the real culprits - we'd find we have MUCH more Common Cause & Unity! And this awakening just scares the you know what, out of the ruling class!
First, if you haven't seen *ORIGIN* and don't have Hulu, it is available to rent on Amazon Prime for $4, or to BUY (recommended) for $10. Seeing, digesting, and understanding the reality within this film is crucial. Second, *Ava DuVernay's Lights! Caramel! Action!* is the BEST ice cream I ever had!!! Seriously. I buy the non-dairy version of it. The bits of caramel, graham cracker and cookie dough pieces are a revelation!! 😋😋😋😋😋
Someone should re-release Fahrenheit 451 also. She's right, fiction reaches people on a gut level that documentaries don't. Also there are people who would never watch a documentary but will go to a fiction film.
If I knew strangers were waiting to look through my garbage, I'd invite over and/ or pick up friends used kitty litter to mix in and add to their task.
Really, I buy it all the time. It’s my absolute favorite. Actually I usually buy the non-dairy version, because I prefer to not be horribly ill afterwards, but that’s my issue. It’s vanilla ice cream with salted caramel swirls, graham cracker swirls and chocolate chip cookie dough. 🤤😋
Caste is a function of our ancient evolved "survival" brain. We struggle to dominate but are hard wired to accept a more submissive status. In our massively overpopulated society, we are far more likely to lose status than gain it as we compete with our fellows in classrooms, job settings, social clubs, churches, political organizations, military organizations, and a myriad more hierarchical organizations, all of which exhausts us and increases our chronic stress hormone levels, typically resulting in the top ten killing diseases of "modern" man. The only caste free organization in human history is the Hunter-Gatherer clan/band, still visible today in some Native American clans/bands, most of which are matriarchal and otherwise egalitarian.
Totally agree with you. He is so underrated & we know, as he knows, his music is on a total pure soul level. Hits that heart of many & any. He can't be put in no category. What a light ✨️🌏🩵
Whats sad is that the people who should see this the most probably never will.
I said the same

she is so amazing!
Yes she is indeed. Seeing her artistry on display is so inspiring.

‘Origin’ is such a great movie. I watched it three times in theaters. Now that it’s on Hulu, I can encourage even more people to watch it.
I agree it was a fantastic movie. Was I the only one who had problems with it on Hulu? It kept cutting to a commercial at each pivotal moment and then it would jump ahead. It was frustrating enough for me, having seen it already, I’d hate for it to be someone’s first experience.
@@kconway2263 Oh, that sucks. Sorry to hear that. I haven’t tried watching it yet. I hope that’s not the case for everyone, though.
"Gotta' do something... focus." Well put.
Ava is who we need right now.
Love this, I saw Origin loved it too. Thanks for having her on the show!!!!!!!!!
I used to love his ice cream but now im obsessed with hers only now that caramel and Graham takes the cake. I truly love Ava her research through art is so awesome. I'd love to do set design for one of her films someday.
I Most Definitely will be trying it within!!!
Ava's is my absolute favorite ice cream! I buy the non-dairy version of it. The flavor is unmatched!
so awesome you do set design - it's so fascinating. keep pushing and reaching out. Why shouldn't you be able to design for her?? :)
LOVE that intention. May it be so!
The book Caste was awesome. How is it I am just hearing about Origin? This is now next on my watch list.
It’s because of this film that I heard about the book.
Same
Its incredible. If you've seen it already, what did you think?

So many thought provoking ideas in this movie. It is wonderful.

"Origin" is a sleeper film, which is also heart-warming!

That was a chilling scene... despite all the fire.

She is a fabulous director! Origin is fabulous and beautifully crafted. She should get an Oscar!
The interaction with the audience feels so personal.
I haven’t seen this new one, but Selma is sooo good, we use it in school teaching MLK’s speech I Have a Dream. It helps the kids to actually understand what the speech was about in a much deeper way.
Careful. Lol the Republicans are watching, if you say you're teaching anything other than Columbus discovered America they'll close down your school.

Ava is a Queen and this film is exceptional.
Just ordered the book “Caste”. And I’ve stood on that spot. Humbling. Berlin is an amazing city (now).
It says a lot that Ava was able to film on that historic spot. Let us learn from the past to guide us to a better future.
Ava is such a powerful storyteller.
Try the Ben and Jerry’s ice cream called lights Carmel action. Ava D. Created it. I love 💗 it.
I watched the movie twice. I am now listening to Caste. It’s very deep and makes so much sense. Enlightening. I highly recommend both.
She is a brilliant filmmaker ! No need to say more
A Wrinkle in Time would beg to differ lol
I urge everyone to listen to 'Ultra' from Rachael Maddow. 'These times' are our times.
Yes and everyone need to know there are two seasons of Ultra -- so if you only heard the first one, the second one has just started; and if you are listening to the new one now, go back and hear the first one too!
going to watch it right now.
You will not be disappointed. 😊
We love ava duvernay

I agree
How have I not heard of her?!
Which "her"? Isabel Wilkerson, or Ava DuVernay?

well.. don't go far - this is about to happen again in florida in just a little while
What a classy duo
Fear is a terrible thing....
She needs to run for president
I don’t have Hulu but may just get it to watch this film!!
Who is juror #7 and which network news channel did she intern for? Thank goodness the book dropped in 2020. The movie is #1 for me in 2023.
Beautiful movie❤❤❤
Trying her Ben & Jerry’s “Lights Caramel Action” flavored ice cream right now. Pretty good stuff 👌🏽
Steven got guts🎉
If I knew strangers were waiting to look through my garbage, I'd invite over and/ or pick up friends used kitty litter to mix in and add to their task.
Loveeeeeee Ava ❤
Im sorry my child was forced back to that location while that was normalized and my parents had xero bargaining power. There will be lawsuits
I eat alot of Ben & Jerry's and I've never even seen either of these
Really, I buy it all the time. It’s my absolute favorite. Actually I usually buy the non-dairy version, because I prefer to not be horribly ill afterwards, but that’s my issue. It’s vanilla ice cream with salted caramel swirls, graham cracker swirls and chocolate chip cookie dough. 🤤😋
I'm not a fan of caramel but I tried Americone and it's very good. I buy it often.
Americone Dream is so popular where I live that it sometimes sells out before all the other flavors in each Ben & Jerry delivery shipment!
That would be so creepy!!!
Origin is sooooo good.
❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤ hiiiiii
I confess I truly do like Americone Dream.
💃🏻💙AVA 💙🕺🏻
Nice show
She also has a Barbie!!

More of this.
Less of that super hero empty stuff.
Stan Walker not being nominated for an Oscar is BS

It's a popularity contest... not a talent show.
Sadly, many can't afford to see films right now. With housing and food insecurity, people of color can't afford streaming, etc.
Brought to you by Russian bots.
Libraries carry dvds.
It’s $3.99 on Amazon (without Prime). Surely, can save for it.
It can be streamed. Where are your stats, why make that up about millions of people you don’t know? Don’t do that.
Trust me, it's not black people that need to see it then most...
🤸🏽♂️🌞🫶🏼🙌🏽🖖🏽
Who?
Ava, do you know WhatsApp going on palestine right now?
At least we aren't pretending im schizophrenic whole alao taking off with my things knowing im not ao improvements! Its a start! 45 comin through!
Those beautiful but heavy earrings look🫣 sooo painful to wear. 🫢
Very powerful film.It was all poignant,but I really lost it during the kid on the raft scene😢😢😢
