Ya know sometimes I used to feel like Angela was kinda shallow during interviews but kudos to her for consistently reading the books before the authors come on, watching the movies, knowing their backgrounds. ONLY Angela does this on this show.
100% you are right
Totally. She's the only one that prepares for interviews.
Only person I feel is never prepared for the interview is Envy
She always does her research!
@@dirtyredd217 Yeah, it shows too! He gets by with the introduction/opening question and closing. I'm not too sure if he knows much about Black culture/history just by his comments and questions. Like Charlemagne, he asks great social/racial questions.
I love how Viola keeps bringing Thuso in, she is an amazing woman. I’m so proud of Thuso Mbedu, she is wise beyond her years and is a huge inspiration, she has a Voice and Is a Force to be reckoned with. God is definitely doing great things through these amazing Women❤
Yes, very selfless of her. Allowing her shine. Beautiful
bt she must nt sound american n know her roots
I love how she always brings her in 2 maarn I'm sooo happy 4 Thuso😍🎉🎉
She has a mentor spirit and has no problem reaching back to uplift others. She's a vet in the game; it's admiral that she is grounded enough to want to build up the younger generation of actors.
A voice and a force to be reckoned with, I love that ❤ heard it on different world and always kept it
Thuso has found an international mom in viola and it's beautiful to witness ❤️
It's vibe amongst black women
I agree and I love it for her. When she lost her grandma I was so heartbroken because that was literally the only parent she was left with on this earth. Her life is a testimony that when God takes away something from you he always gives you something else. She has mommy Viola now. She deserves all these good things happening for her right now ❤❤.
I thought so too..they even look slightly alike..kindred spirits
I saw this movie twice already. I took my niece the first time and my 75yr old father the second time. It’s definitely more of an event than a movie. It is an amazing movie. The whole cast was beautiful and amazing. Viola Davis!!!!!!! Absolutely beautiful ❤️
Nahh This Woman King Movie is a huge RED FLAG !!
That movie is a big shame to the black culture , They twisted and lied a lot about the truth and historical facts about the Evil slave catchers tribe !
Whats more crazier is that the directors and writers are 2 jewish Feminist women who are using Entertainment to try trick black people and especially BlacK Women with the black female actors while pushing their Woke Feminist AnTI Men Agenda!!!
They made the bad guys look good and its clear to see their propoganda!
I will never encourage people to go see this wack fake dumb Movie and im very dissapointed in Viola davis for selling us this brainwashed hollywood Trash .
I’ve seen it twice too and the audience clapped both times.
In the two times did you know that the story isn’t historically accurate
@@Kmanjr0 yes. It’s Hollywood. I never saw it as a documentary.
@@Kmanjr0 If you want African stories, they would have to be Hollywood-ized because nothing we did is worth glorifying. Even Shaka Zulu murdered his own people before they turned on him.
For those who don’t know Dahomey is present day Benin West Africa. The name changed after we got colonized by the French. If you travel to Benin today, you can go to a part of the country called “ABOMEY” and the kings palace is still there. It is now a touristic place. It is very important for us as blacks to know our history. I know this because i was born and raised there. It’s wild to me that people especially our people never heard of this or that this was never taught. Stay blessed folks✊🏿
Your history is not necessarily u.s. Black history. Your ancestors enslaved & sold our ancestors. I'm sure you know this already though. You've probably seen one of the many Doors/Gates of No Return. This movie & its history is nothing to be proud of.
why did lupita nyong'o cry when she researched the Dahomey? should she not have been empowered?
It's not a surprise African never teach their history even in school they still work towards the British European standard of education leaving out African history
they sold ur people
Such good info, especially to know its still there... hidden in plain sight under a different name. Thank you for sharing, I'm adding it to my "Must Do" list. 🥰
I already know Charla gone “Black Queen” “Black Royalty” and “My therapist said” this interview through the roof 😂😂😂😂😂
🤣 count 1 1sec. In
😂😂😂
And right after Envy will ask a question “for those who do not know…” 😂😂😂.
LMAOOOO
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As Zambian 🇿🇲🇿🇲 I went to see it and loved every second of it.. the cinema was packed and the audience stood to clap 👏 👏 . This is a testament that powerful stories cut across borders and cultures to deliver a message 👏 👌 🙌
Even if the story is a complete fabrication and glorifies one of the most brutal slave trading tribes in Africa
I am DAHOMEY!!!
Viola's speaking voice gives me chills.
👀👀👀👀👀
She's talking from the heart, I feel it too
If you ever flew Delta she did their commercials. I love hearing her voice. Very strong diction, annunciation, and strength in her voice.
Yes!!! Same!
I was just thinking that exact same thing. Although she is a "classically" trained actor, Viola Davis was born to do this.
Viola Davis is the female Denzel Washington the 🐐 of acting amazing in every role haven’t disappointed yet all love Queen ❤️
I just told my boys this! Totally agree
@Kuba Biskup why would any body like anything with hitler in it ? You hear yourself🤦🏾♂️ just don’t comment anymore
@Kuba Biskup 🤡
Denzel wouldn't have taken this role.
@@THESEVARGNETWORK that’s not the point 🤦🏾♂️ y’all just type to type the point is she is the greatest female actor she has over 30 awards with two Emmy’s a golden globe Etc every role she played was great name another female actor with her level of skills she has I’ll wait
The Woman King shattered any expectation I had. It’s truly a gift of a film that should be seen by all of us! Loved this interview too.
Look up the actual history of this tribe and not the Hollywood version they themselves were SLAVE OWNERS and sold Africans the reason they were killed was because they refused to give up their slaves after the entire world had already done so.
To bad the tribe they portrayed actually profitted from selling off their fellow Africans.
A movie about evil slave masters who fought to keep slavery going. But Viola changed the plot Lol
I too would love to see a movie about people who enslave and sell their own people. Buying my tickets now. #makeDahomiSlavesAgain
Nah
Saw it 3 times. As A Black Woman And Student of African Studies, I was deeply impressed with all the actors. I support you all, my beautiful sisters. Love you all!❤
If your are a student of African studies, then you should research the real story of this tribe. They aren't to be glorified. It would be like trying to glorify nazis.
Thuso at 39:00 whatever your purpose is - the resistance doesn’t mean you're not supposed to do it but you’re supposed to fight through it- there will be scars but it’s part of the journey
Here for my South African queen, Thuso Mbedu. The Woman King is such an amazing movie. I am so proud of her.
🤮
So so proud 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Take that thing back where u got it
😂😂 not enough shilling will save this movie
Be proud of every black queen.. why the separation - why can't we all win
I’m from South Africa 🇿🇦, big fan of the breakfast club and I have to say I’m super happy for Thuso Mbedu. Best of luck 🤞
She is a great actress!
I’m beaming with pride as a fellow South African, I feel represented by Thuso Mbedu, We are Global
Shes great bro represents
Man when they touched on "African Americans" searching for something that's missing because our history and lineage was taken away pretty much I felt that. What hurts most, being the most hated group in the world. We are re-victimized over and over again. Turned the world on the victims as if we asked to be here. We are out here lost because we have no real connection to who we are
We love you in South Africa ❤️🇿🇦 Shameka. When you get home you are whatever you want to be. ZULU, XHOSA, SOTHO.. etc bcoz you are part of us ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇿🇦
This movie is compeltly false though lol. They actually fought the british army because the British were ending slavery and the Africans did not want to end slavery as that's what they built Their empire off of. This kingdom was built off enslaving thier neighbors.

Aww man!! That was a perfect way to end the interview with what Viola said about her daughter. I felt so proud to share this experience with my mother and I felt so empowered by what I can go on to accomplish as a performing artist myself, as I pivoted (away) from live performances and film since the start of the pandemic. Shoutout to these black women!! They’re so fierce; so powerful and so much MORE than enough in this world 💪🏾 👑 ❤!!
Black women from the different diaspora coming together… powerful, gave me goosebumps ❤
Yup. Powerful enough to behead the elderly and steal children for slave trading.
Yessss
As a west African, i cried uncontrollably watching this, in America, an empowering all black cast without focusing on the deplorable parts of the transatlantic slave trade, felt liberating
How?
This movie should have made you cry because it is disgusting and it brainwashes be into acting like men which only makes them unattractive.this movie will damage bw
Amen
@@m.o.btheworld4094please be quiet
Viola is amazing. “I don’t care what anyone has to say.” Powerful ❤. We all need to find the peace in that.
Powerful ❤. We all need to find the peace in that?? what the Slavery that this movie dose not show so YOU beleive in THE LIES this movie show ...BELEIVE in HOLLYWOOD HISTORY!!
We should care. I'm East African but it makes me so sad to know that these beautiful women who were powerful but used that power so wrongly and sold their own people into slavery. I don't think I can watch this movie.
Side note my 12-year-old daughter came home and was fighting her pillow for an hour.
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂love this !
😂😂😂
She won right? 😊
😂😂😂
Watched it this weekend with my wife and it was amazing! Going back to watch again with my 2 young sons. I appreciate the limited gore in the fight scenes to allow me to feel safe enough to show this story to my young boys.
Need more movies like this!
I took my 11 year old nephew and he enjoyed it so much.
yo must be raising a punk
@@ladileelee1 Black people love watching people who once enslaved them..The Dahomey women were notorious slaves traders.
Try reading the history of the Dahomey first and why Lupita Nyongo quit this movie.
@@winston5791 Lupita video clip was about something else. That was an old clip of hwr finding her. roots in Kenya. You all are so twisted with lies.
South Africa in the house S/O to Thuso Mbedu
The Mafikeng Inkosazana
Idk why I cry everytime I talk about this movie 😂🥹I’m going to see it again today! Thuso’s modesty is admirable and I’m so glad that Gina encouraged it being a fun experience and yelling at the screen because trust that the first time I went to go see , all of our people tore the theatre up with moments of cheering laughter and moments of anger. I will remember that day forever, we had a ball
It was a huge honor to watch this. It gave me a since of pride to see black women strong and unified. When my daughter is old enough, she will see this too.
so you were proud to see black women enslaving our people?...wow
Please don't
No hype you will shed a few tears during this movie. Shit was incredible
Facts

Got to give thanks to this amazing tribe, because if it wasn't for them I may not have been American. Got to stay Woke 🤡🤡
as a history buff, I know there are many more real and intriguing stories to be told about African kingdoms/civilizations hope we get to see more movies like this.

I agree but only if this film does well.

Love that "the resistance doesn't mean that you should not be doing it. you have to fight through the resistance" I love that🙂
Dahomey were slavers and traded slaves
@@yehmustafa2959 so where the English, Dutch, Spanish, French, & Portuguese, what’s your point by your statement??
@@chosenonebeats Don’t cheer for any oppressor period.
@@chosenonebeats we don't try to falsify history by making them heroes, like you people try to do with the dahomeys.
@@chosenonebeats I hope in the film,this issue is addressed.The Dahomey tribe were no BETTER than the slave catchers during the 1800s in the US.
I’m in Vietnam and a bunch of us are going!!!!! We are supporting hands down!
Mbedu did an excellent job. I knew that Viola wld bring it.
The whole cast of women were awesome!!! A must see.
One voice I will forever remember is Viola’s. After Oprah , her voice is forever eternal ! ❤
The Woman King is not a documentary. It is an action-epic film that takes liberties. I'm happy people went to see it and are seeing it again and again. People see how incredible the film is. It has an A+ cinemascore
I get it but would it be okay to make an alternate history Nazi movie? Confederates? The Dahomey were brutal slave traders and are the reason many of us are of enslaved ancestry
Liberties? Yes, the villains are the heroes.

@@aliasrose everyone in the story are technically villains.
Thuso Mbedu... Look at that beautiful talented black woman just sitting in the corner, trapping all that knowledge and that culture in her brain. I wanna cuddle against her on the couch and listen to her stories 😩😍
I’m soo happy for Thuso that she came across a generous spirited legend like Viola.
legend like Viola.that sold your forfathers to The SLAVE TRAIDERS and rewrite AFIRCA HISTORY...POUD OF THE COLOR NOT THE CULTURE...that what your saying!!!
Fantastic interview! I am very proud of my Afro-American heritage. I adore my ancestral African heritage, I revere my Afro heritage. Black Americans are phenomenal. We created a robust culture and language here in America that is often ignored. We warred for well over 300 years for our freedom. We resisted behind enemy lines. Afro-Black and proud. Thank you for an excellent interview.
You do know the Dahomey tribe were BIG-TIME slave-traders ??? No better than the slave catchers in america during the 1800s.The Dahomey were TRASH.In my opinion.
Perhaps you ancestors warred with the Dahomey warrior women? They were big time brutal slave traders.
They were slave traders
I saw the movie last Friday and it. Is. Fantastic! The first scene was so powerful that I immediately felt empowered in my seat. The movie is phenomenal. Go see it! I’m going again this Friday. Thank you ladies ❤
I’d like to hear your thoughts after you research the Dahomey tribe
@@pmrft83 facts
Ii
Yeah they loved slaves.
Empowered to do what? Enslave? Glad you enjoyed the popcorn,,,, ootumbu for 8$
7 years of fighting to get a movie done really paid off I love every second I didn’t even take a bathroom break
Same here!!!!
That's less than a quarter of the time the Dahomey fought the British and French to continue selling Africans!
Me either. SOOO good!!!
The director Gina Bythewood mentioned that her son was name Toussaint such a powerful name. I hope she may plan to tell the story of the legendary Toussaint Louverture and decedents of those enslaved Africans on the island of Hispaniola. Either way such a great movie for a multitude of reasons! Great job ladies! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 🇭🇹
This movie was so amazing! I went through so many emotions I laughed I cried, cried during this interview listening to viola learned a lot about myself and I had breakthroughs from watching a movie I definitely want to go rewash this film. Something about it just uplifted my spirit it gave me something I didn't even know I needed 🔥✊🏾✨👌🏾
Look up the actual history of this tribe and not the Hollywood version they themselves were SLAVE OWNERS and sold Africans the reason they were killed was because they refused to give up their slaves after the entire world had already done so.
Wait till you find out it's all based on a lie....
A movie about slave traders is amazing? 😂😂😂
I can listen to Viola all day!
Me too 😊
Facts
Love Thuso. So proud of her career. Been watching her since MTV Shuga- South Africa.
I legit said this literally the other day!!!! MTV shuga down south babyyyy
Watching South Africa's very own Thuso Mbedu 🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Woman King had me on the edge of my movie theater seat, like literally. I was so engrossed in what was happening on the screen. I’m also so moved by the history that was not shared, on purpose and I see why! You can’t hold a people down by telling them the full truth about themselves and sadly because of our relationship with this country and colonizers we drank the kool aid, forcibly and then habitually. This movie has inspired me in multiple ways. I will see it again and again. Brava to all involved in bringing this to us, what a gift!

Seeing Thuso gravitate from Down South to the big screens is just not only awesome but very refreshing. Hard work has indeed paid off.
When viola talks her words are very soothing to the ear
The movie was so good. I saw it yesterday. I went to an early showing because I didn't want to be in a crowd. Omg!!! I got to see it again.
Phenomenal performances by the entire cast, they deserve to win every award ever invented 🏆

Have seen this movie FOUR times this weekend (with friends, family, by myself). Hands down one of my favorite movies of all times, cried and laughed every time! Action scenes are out of this world!
Damn right!!!!❤This film was PHEN-OM-ENAL!
Getting African Americans to applaud a kingdom that sold 1 million Africans into slavery and slaughtered millions more, including the last slaves sent to the US, is a work of genius.
Black people, men and women you need to go do unbiased research on this movie for it is a total Farce! The movie was written and produced by mostly whyte Liberal women, they changed the name of the tribe, the kingdom and it's total history to appease a certain demographic for they know black people will contribute to it's success not being intelligent enough to do your own research! The small West African country is currently called the Republic of Benin, at the time these women warriors fought it was called the Kingdom of Dahomey. Dahomey was actually the biggest SLAVE trading kingdom in all of Africa, the warrior women are known as the Dahomey Amazons, they were brutal, could Never marry, never have kids, never have sex unless it was with the King! They practiced fighting techniques all day and all night, They were formed for there was not enough male warriors to fight for they had lost thousands in previous battles, they were also formed to protect the king, his personal bodyguards. So although they did exist and were a formidable force, their primary job was raiding other tribes, mutilating them, and enslaving those that did not fight back and lived. It is estimated that around 60 to 75% of all slaves captured in the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade were enslaved by the Kingdom of Dahomey and sold to other countries including America, and the Dahomey Amazons played a major role in this. So remember as you watch this film and line the pockets of wealthy Liberal whyte women and star struck black women, the women warriors that your watching 7 times out of 10 were the ones that helped in the capture of your ancestors and is how they ended up here! These Liberals only wish to portray black women as savages, aggressive nature, no femininity, no children having, no husband having women (sounds just like todays BW and not by accident) helping to push their feminist agendas! Go do some damn research on the Dahomey Amazons Please!!
I am on my fourth go round this evening can't wait to see it again!!
Was it your favorite because they left out how willing they were to sell other Africans into slavery to the colonizers . They were willing participants
I love how candidly Viola speaks!! I love that she a beautiful dark brown skin proud black woman 🙌🏾🙌🏾💕!
❤️🙌🏿❤️🙌🏿❤️🙌🏿
Not candidly enough to admit her real historic character was a brutal slaver who beheaded slaves in front of the French.
The French were called in by local kingdoms to protect them from Dahomey slave raids. The movie is pretty much a reversal of historic facts.
Thuso (the one in pink) is so cute. And I love and respect Viola Davis. She’s such a legend. If I wanted to be an actress I’d look up to her
I love how Thuso Mbedu is representing South Africa and her and Viola Davis they gave phenomenal performance and they understood the assignment ❤❤❤
🤮
Except leaving out them being active and willing participants in the slave trade
@@thecheshirecat299 Exactly. Lot of uneducated people praising this movie.
@@thecheshirecat299 along with the Byzantines, Romans, Greeks, Vikings, Crusader Infidels. Even Ottomans. Who is holy here? You all still watch their stuff right.....Even when not historically accurate
@@thecheshirecat299 so was every European country
I love this, and had not even heard about it! As a black woman experiencing adversity in my life, career, and journey, it feels good to know that our real stories are finally being told. Our history was taken, but now we can take it back! I’m going to take my whole family!
By the way…. FROM SOUTH CAROLINA, so I know, you know my struggle!
Thuso is always casted with Hollywood's A-Listers❤️❤️❤️
Cos she’s an A Lister herself! 💃🏽😂She deserves it. Those who know, know ✊🏾
Thuso Mbedu, This is your time to shine. Arise and Shine Sisi, You are deserving and you are able. God has given you divine ability ❤
That's a blessing for her. She got one and nailed it and the doors are wide open for her.
I saw this movie in Brooklyn and after the movie was over the audience got up and applauded. This movie is one of the best movies I have seen in years, thank Ms. Davis, you are a queen, love you.
Saw the movie last night and LOVED IT!! It's a MUST see!
Must see multiple times!
I also want to mention that I'm not a avid movie goer but I thought this movie was important and needed to be seen on the big screen.
Even tho they kept out the slaves they had? And the fact that the British destroyed them.
Viola said she was called ugly and n-word in her young life, she went from that to movie royalty, I love you Viola, you are beautiful and all I have to see is Viola Davis is in the movie, oh lm going to see it, she's so talented! I love her, the woman king was so awesome, it made me feel so proud, and all those beautiful dark skin woman, wew! I loved it.
Inspiring black queens.. Love Viola, a true GOAT on and offscreen, and to top it off, she has Kenyan /Cameroonian roots!
Ladies I saw The Woman King opening night and you all deserve all of the flowers!!!💐💐💐💐💐💐
From The Underground Railroad to The Woman King Thuso Mbedu is paving the way for many young black South Africans, breaking that ceiling.

Once Ms. Viola Davis said she was from Kenya and Cameroon, my soul laughed and I could feel my ancestors say - see, I told you we are royalty! I am from Cameroon.
My wife and I went to see the movie. She took me for my B-day. I must say that was indeed a fantastic movie! I even got "juicy-eyed up in the theater!
I see comments talking about not wanting to watch a story of black slavers, no matter how you look at it, it's our history being told. I'm glad this story was told from the black perspective.
This movie was soooo powerful. Tons of beautiful dark skin women. Just black women in a positive role not as a slave, drug user, and cleaning ladies. I love it and I'm going back to watch it again. It's that good.
How exactly is being a slave trader of your ancestors, a positive thing?
"Just black women in a positive role not as a slave" just slavers who sell melanated folk to europeans
Thanks for not listern to BS
Positive? I guess it didn’t tell the real story
All of this!!! Yeesss
ALL THAT DAMN BEAUTIFUL BLACKNESS🙌🏾🙌🏾. I FELT REALLY EMPOWERED AFTER WATCHING THIS MOVIE, LASHANA LYNCH WAS MY FAVORITE HANDS DOWN!!
Her transformation was unreal. Completely different from 007 movie.
Getting African Americans to applaud a kingdom that sold 1 million Africans into slavery and slaughtered millions more, including the last slaves sent to the US, is a work of genius.
The people who starred in it, were the ones meant to star in it. Love these strong and gifted sisters!❤❤❤
Not really the original woman to play the woman king declined the role because she didnt wanna glorify slave traders
What an awesome interview! These women are phenomenal! Got me laughing and almost teary-eyed in some parts. And DJ Envy you had so many great questions. Yes The Woman King was such an incredible movie. I'm gonna go see it again! The strength and pride and joy and yes goosebumps you get watching this movie stays with you! It's so well done! Please go support the movie and movies like this so more can be made.
I saw this movie this weekend and OMG!! i am so speechless at the women warriors and the empowerment!! Great Job Viola, Thuso and of Gina and all the other beautiful actresses!!!
Yes!! Proud to be a woman after seeing this movie
You must not kno the history
:D lmao
But in real life yall ain't got no powers.
Lol, when you guys are that authoritative in your opinion about q subject, we know you're WRONG!
RUN don't walk to see this movie y'all! I could watch this an infinite amount of times! I cried so many times!
No
Wow Thuso is such a gem South Africa is proud of you 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦. Viola Davis is a legend like no other.
When Viola said she loved being inna room of sistahs and you know that you KNOW you all have each other's back. Im a guy and that truly speaks volumes.. but as a Black man, that speaks so much that can never be articulated. Such an amazing experience she mustve had!!!! Just amazing!!
It is so beautiful to hear Viola speak of her heritage and that that she does know. Everytime I see her I see my mother, from mannerisms, to expressions. We learned that we are 🇨🇲 Cameroon as well. Fulani people, evrytime someone sees me from the mother land they always ask me where my people are from, it is just cool to know your people can see you.
I have Cameroon, Nigerian, Ghana, Dahomey, Mali, and Congo I am so excited
Thuso Mbedu you are a superstar love from SA!!!!!!!!!
Wow!! Love and basketball was based off her!!! Queen! I loved Woman King the first 3 times and I'll be back a few more times. Many gems in this movie, it's layered & just love to see FIIIINE black women on the screen dance, sing and just be themselves. No fake hair or nothing!! No weave!! Just Beauty!! LOVE IT!!!🔥🔥🔥
Science fiction movie

Whats more crazier is that the directors and writers are 2 jewish Feminist women who are using Entertainment to try trick black people and especially BlacK Women with the black female actors while pushing their Woke Feminist AnTI Men Agenda!!!
They made the bad guys look good and its clear to see their propoganda!
I will never encourage people to go see this wack fake dumb Movie and im very dissapointed in Viola davis for selling us this brainwashed hollywood Trash .
Loved this movie! Let’s build Thuso’s confidence on the microphone. We want to hear her thoughts and stories off the screen!
They should have made her come alone 😁 she's brilliant.
Lol, she good. She and other actors have been going HARD on promoting this movie, they tried of answering questions
Thuso was excellent promoting The Underground Railroad which played on Amazon Prime where she was the main character. She’s giving due respect to the heavyweights here. She’s very confident otherwise!
I saw The Women King this weekend and it was amazing. At the end of the movie we gave it a standing ovation 👏🏾 again it was amazing!!!
Getting African Americans to applaud a kingdom that sold 1 million Africans into slavery and slaughtered millions more, including the last slaves sent to the US, is a work of genius.
Gave it a standing ovation ? So u were ok with them selling other people
Who looked like them and us into slavery. They were willing participants in the salve trave
Woman King is by far one of the best movies created 🎥🍿
Smh
I agree
Facts
A movie masculinizing black women and glorifying enslavers??? 🤦🏾♂️
@@trey9775 a different take on Femininity scare you Trey? Almost every culture participated in the slave trade btw. I’d imagine you don’t enjoy any films that were set during that time period.. not just the ones with Black Women in the leading roles; without a White Savior.
Thuso wow all I can say is: Look at God...He honored His Word, that your gift will bring u before kings....I am so proud of u
I saw this movie and absolutely loved it! I'm not a person of color, nor do I think it is a movie only for black people. It's a great story of spirit and determination and overcoming the tough challenges of the life in which we find ourselves.
Well done!
the crowd i was in was very invested. it was beautifully shot and written.. and i cant wait to see it again. thanks to everyone involved ✨🙌🏿✨
Damn! I wish I could’ve seen it with a great crowd! Still loved it but I just know that would’ve made me enjoy it even more
The storyline is smooth as butter. No getting lost in translation.
Thuso did a phenomenon job in this movie and the entire cast is just 💥💥💥I expect this movie to win many awards!!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Lady this movie is an extremely false depiction of what that civilization was really like. If all you wanted to see was a female led form of *Black Panther* than you got what you wanted, but if you were expecting a story based on historical facts, then you certainly didn't get it with this movie...
@@fbakay4700 Did you watch it?
@@557Deola Yes I did. I reluctantly watched it with some of the kids that I serve...
@@fbakay4700 it’s a fictional movie based in reality, it’s not a history book🤦🏾♂️
Hunny I was in there “Leeleeleeleeleee” Acting up!! I had SO MUCH FUN!
This was an amazing interview 🙌🏾
Yo I want that 3 1/2 hour copy! This movie was phenomenal. I left wanting to see more!
I agree. The DVD should have the longer version as a option too.
Thuso Mbedu 💎 my support all the way from 🇧🇼
Edit: The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are" - Viola Davis you're a 💎
She was magnificent 😍
@@flowforever9084 I'm forever proud of our people ey
The movie was phenomenal. Viola was the perfect person for the lead role
🤢🤮
@@TA-ht4jo they hired bots on this thread
A phenomenal fake movie...The Dahomey women were notorious slaves traders.
yeah she a seasoned sellout.
@@agendaxpushers1322 sell out in what way?
I loved the movie!!! I was crying all in the theatre! Great movie!! I probably will go see it again at the theatre! Really loved this movie.
The movie is AMAZING. I saw it once then turned around the next day and took my 11 year old daughter. She loves it too. GO SEE IT
Must see movie!!💯💯
In the Theater for sure!!
It bless me to see a group of black women senior citizens in the movie theater joining one another watching the amazing film!!!💯❤️😍
Just wanted to say I don’t know what you might be going through Or what situation you’re in right now but I no god is there for you and he loves you God bless everyone who came across this🇧🇸❤️
THE WOMAN KING WAS AMAZING. I saw it opening night and it did not disappoint
This is what I mean though...I personally always new that Africans were part of the slave trade..yet a lot of people think Europeans just came and took Africans 🙄
@@deejones653 chattle slavery is a european thing. Africans had slaves already across areas so when Europeans came over they assume that if they took us to mainland that we would be slaves like they had. So yes africans gave us to them for resources as an exchange but chattle slavery was and is EUROPEAN. SLAVERY BASED ON COLOR WASNT THE PLAN
As a black women seeing things like this give me hope ❤ love everyone in this interview ❤️❤️❤️
How that you will be put into slavery? 🤣🤣😂😅😆
@@annabrown5712 that’s what you got from this interview… that’s tough sis maybe need to less talking and more listening !
@@Herstoryyyy 🤣🤣🤣 u are obviously confused about rws. Thay had you in that movie glorifying slave traders.
@@annabrown5712 your commentary is so random and unnecessary like what … since you know it all go write a book . Like sis bye talking about glorifying slave trade that’s all you see … you the type to disregard sweep the truth under the rug I’m gonna assume you ain’t black !
This movie!!!!! Made me so proud to be a black woman, so proud to be a creator!
Dahomey were slave traders and practiced mass human sacrifices (with slaves)
Viola should have studied the history the woman king are the reason we are over here in america this isn't anything to be proud of
“Be ambitious about rest”- Viola Davis
