Black Panther is a fantasy/sci-fi superhero film based on the Marvel Comic character of the same name that was released on February 16, 2018. The film was directed by Ryan Coogler, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Joe Robert Cole.
Following the death of his father, T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman) returns home to the African nation of Wakanda to take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful enemy named Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) suddenly appears, T'Challa's mettle as king and as the Black Panther gets tested when he's drawn into a conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk.
Faced with both treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people.
The diversity of black people and the African culture in this film is very stunning to me.
I mean, the different emotions that were portrayed by actors Michael B. Jordan and Chadwick Boseman were just absolutely amazing from my point of view.
I never thought that I would see Michael B. Jordan playing the role of a villain before. Especially, since he has starred in other movies like shooting victim Oscar Grant in Fruitvale Station and Adonis Creed in the Creed films.
I also applauded all of black female actresses including Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong'o and Angela Bassettt in Black Panther as well.
They are all representation of what Black Girl Magic looks like. They are very inspiring to a generation of young black girls like me. I want to be just like them when I grow up.
And I loved the music along with the production, costume design, the use of computer-generated effects, lots of action and everything else in between.
I was so honored that I had a chance to watch this movie on DVD and experience the African American narratives for myself. And now you can, too. Make sure that you go and buy, rent, and watch Black Panther on Amazon, YouTube, Netflix, Vudu and more:
