Black Panther (2018)
4/10
Avarage action, scrambled up politics
5 March 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This is okay as an action flick, but it is a really bad political statement. Wakanda is essentialy a city state living in welfare chauvinism, locking away their space grade technology to only benefit a select few. This is all the while Africa lives in the mud, and they basicaly don't care about the rest of the world. It is in fact a movie where the supposed good guys (Black Panther and co.) are in fact authocratic money hoarders, and the supposed bad guys who want to share this endless wealth are the good guys - but even they would restrict it to "people of african descent" because they are black nazis, or to their buddies to do "secret ops". No one talks about sharing their tech with the whole world based on merit to make the world a better place with it. Stopping african and world hunger and draught? Stopping war? Stopping energy hunger? Stopping climate change? Taking Earth to the space age? Colonizing the galaxy ? Wakanda doesn't care! They just don't want to share! The funniest part is that this is a movie that is supposed to "empower" black people... by basically making them look like Republicans in contemporary US! Biggest joke ever. Don't you know? There's no climate change!
