Anti White and shit movie
Daly Schaeffer’s wife’s boyfriend really liked this movie and he isn't very happy people don't care about gay and fake race baiting, i don't know why even is he on this site and not some cuck support group. Woke aside its not a good movie either, but black mediocrity is always put on a pedestal.

Incredible movie, despite its wokeness
Conservatives nowadays are more sensitive than liberals. This movie was fantastic in every way possible. It was going to be woke-Black director, mostly black cast, white villains, etc. Then again, here I am giving this a 5/5. What the fuck did you expect with a movie about black people in the 1930s dirty south? Not every movie has to be pro-white, pro nuclear family to be good. Get your heads out of your asses and just appreciate cinema for what it is instead of being pussies because black people good white people bad.

Robert Jordan Plays Revenge Porn From Dusk Till Dawn at the Cotton Club
The bluesman, not the author.
I've heard tons of good about this movie, but from the wrong people and in a very homogeneous message. So, sus.
First, the good, cause there are more uglies than at a pussy hat march.
Jordan does a fine job playing both blue oni / red oni, angel / demon, or whatever colour-coded dichotomy comes to mind. The difference between characters is subtle, let's leave it at that.
Steinfeld does what she does best: she stands there, and is convinced of her own talent. Caton might have a career. Remmick tries hard but does not quite shine. The supporting cast is solid.
The music is an obvious strong point of the movie. No comment, it's well done and well used. Would like to hear that level of effort more often.
Photography is excellent. Reminiscent of Tarantino. In a good way. It sometimes gets ambitious, to its detriment, I think. The changes in aspect ratio are somewhat interesting.
I've briefly read from 'journalists' that the movie was heavily researched. It literally opens by heavily mispronouncing _griots_ (French colonies, so "gree-yo"), and mis-characterizing the filidh, but hey, all white people look the same anyway.
The bad: it's steeped in racial stereotypes. And not the best ones. It briefly represents black Christianity, and promptly contrasts with and glorifies the proto-gangsta rap that served the black community so well until this day. /sarcasm.
On that point, be warned that many black characters talk in heavy vernacular, quite possibly ebonics. So, a creole of West Country English. Not sure if historically accurate. Note that African-American Vernacular English, as a concept, makes about as much sense as Latine-Celtic Vernacular Bantu.
Anyway, I find it hard to understand. So much so, I turned English subtitles on at some point.
Injuns, well, they hunt a vampire without any visible specialized gear, corner it into a small, isolated house, and promptly twerp off when opposed a few harsh words, letting a containable issue flare into a full catastrophe. While being so polite they might as well be Canucks.
Whites, well, here comes the ugly: they're all crackers.
The ugly: the movie is openly racist. Whites are evil. They hold the black man down. They're all MAGA (one can dream). In a bout of common Hollywood revisionism, the movie acts like the KKK / White League / Red Shirts and Jim Crow laws were a majority, and not offshoots of the Democrats. The "it wasn't _real_ communism" crowd.
"Chicago is Mississippi with tall buildings instead of plantations," they say. Sure. Chicago was also at the beginning of a, to this day, uninterrupted string of Democrat mayors. Hasn't changed since then. Go figure.
I digress, Ryan Kyle Coogler. Gaelic given names, German family name. "Cultural appropriation" much?
Then again, Michael B. Jordan. The B is Swahili, but the rest is Hebrew.
Anyway, white people as vampires. That have to be invited in. And a hive mind. Funny, that.
Especially considering the head sucker is Irish, a people that got an even shorter end of the stick than the Chinese or blacks.
I don't know what the director's political angle was, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't supposed to interpret vampirism as socialism. Hive mind, need to be voted in, then drain you and make more of themselves while destroying everything.
As an aside, I'm all for liberty in speech and freedom of association. Which incidentally also entails the freedom to not associate.
Hollywood seems hell-bent of late on establishing the concept of justifiable hatred, often racial. Given the employment and crime statistics of this particular demographic in the last, say, half century, I'm really not certain black people want to entrench that precedent.
Same goes for the strong undertone of separatism.
Again, Kügler does as he wishes, but his kind usually is the first to cry when the same wind blows the other way.
All in all, I'm not impressed with the research, historical or cultural, the imagery lacks subtlety, the social commentary is foreign to the actual world.
The movie is good, but atrociously racist. The kind born of ignorance and ideology that always leads to atrocities.
Rodriguez did it better. Heck, Murphy did it better.
