      Its actually canon that when faced with the harsh reality of civil war in Africa Eric succumbed to his father's racism and became the white panther, a cannibalistic madman slaughtering countless civilians on behalf of white settlers in Rhodesia. they briefly touched on it in That 80's Show. Eric also instigated the bosnian genocide

      Alejandro, funny you mention "white panther." There actually was a White Panther Party, but it wasn't a racist organization. They were allies of the Black Panthers because Huey P. Newton and Fred Hampton wanted to create a Rainbow Coalition among black, Latino, white, and Asian activists to fight oppression. :)

    The editing in the first speech scene was phenomenal. The score was really good. I loved this movie. Could’ve done without the romance, that would have helped the runtime you referred to. 9/10

      I liked the romance aspect because I think it added another layer to the film. His girlfriend doesn’t like police and generalizes them by calling them all “pigs”, much like a white supremacist would generalize all black people. But Ron proves that not all police are bad because he himself is one. I thought that conflict was very interesting and showed how generalizations can be made by both sides and it doesn’t help anyone.

    So annoyed this isn't playing where I live. For some bizzare reason this film only got a limited release in Canada and no wide release is planned. No idea why since usually this isn't a problem.

    We are getting a lot of great movies filled with diversity lately. Blindspotting, BlacKkKlansman, Crazy Rich Asians, and Sorry to Bother You. I’m pretty sure I’ve missed to list some films, but whatever Hollywood is doing in making these films, I hope they’ll take what they learned from these films and continue to take risks in developing more diverse films in the future.

  • @outdatedmeme5544
    @outdatedmeme5544 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Very important movie with such a strong message but i can't see why you would give this an A.
    I personally didn't like the pacing at all and i thought that the story did have some issues. Throughout the film neither the KKK nor the Black Power Movement actually commit any crime (up until the very end) except for being racist among each other. Thus it misses out on the chance of creating much more inner conflict within the two protagonists.
    Why did the members of the KKK even consider Adam Driver as a leader of their Colorado Springs organisation while all he did was shoot at the fleeing ron and some dummies at the shooting range (and of course being racist 24/7)? He had, at that point in the movie, never even participated at a cross-burning and was just new to the group.
    David Duke's character was rather uninteresting and some of his followers such as Ivanhoe and Ashlie Atkinson as Connie Kendrickson were straight up annoying. Plus the arrest of the drunken Landers (racist cop @ the traffic stop) was sooooo cheesy it left me cringing in my movie seat. Oh and i really disliked the soundtrack, but thats just personal preference i guess...
    Nevertheless this movie does a lot of things right and i agree with basically everything you're saying in your review. Just wanted to get this out there :')
