The book was powerful and the film was even more powerful. It saddens me that this film isn't getting more mainstream awards attention (I feel like I know why), but it will stand the test of time.
Because it’s all nonsense and wrong
@@The_king567according to fascists
@@sunseeker9581 wrong to literally any historian which she clearly isn’t and it shows
@@The_king567maybe you should read the book and what Ava has done was make the author of it the main character and she was real
@@bytriciabailey5122 I did and it’s literally not a historical or fact or document it’s literally just someone’s opinion that’s it
I sobbed through this movie!!! I knew I was in trouble with the first scene because I have sobbed in mourning for Travon since the day he was stalked, terrorized, and murdered. Trying to imagine the terror this boy felt as he sensed the deadly danger he was facing has always brought me to tears. What a moving & painfully ugly & beautiful story. I must see it again soon, but I don't know if my heart can bear it. Thanks to the brillance of Ms Duvernay & the cast who performed so powerfully!!!
I love when Ava says because I wanted to do it😂
I love that she did the movie with no studios in olved . They couldnt Stop it from being released or made lol
When you can take a source that is "unadaptable" and create a new, living work - that's active creativity. Can't wait to see it. I loved the book and hope the movie exalts the source.
I saw this back in November. This movie changed me a lot and I was a whole different person after watching it. It broke me and opened up my eyes.
Please let this be nominated for best picture! Everyone needs to see it!!
Ava Duvernay is an amazing creator, producer this movie deserves an Oscar
Ava Duvernay is a absolutely genius when it comes to content and movie making. She know what she want to do and once she make her mind up there's nothing stopping her.
She looks amazingly fabulous 🤗
I'm so glad they didn't dance around the topic of the fact of what happened to the Jews in the Holocaust happened based on what was to Black Americans. Thankyou Ava for bringing this to light for those that don't read!! For reference: "The Myth of Race" by Robert Wald Sussman and/or "Hitlers American Model" by James Whitman
It’s not nice conspiracy theory though god you want to be oppressed so badly lmao go read a book and btw Hitler and America didn’t create racism go read a history book
Incorrect
Black people who support the far right don't understand that Putin doesn't care for black and brown people! The far right likes Putin!
I attended this show and had the pleasure of meeting Ava. Ms. Lady beams with an abundance endowment of beauty & brains...
I truly enjoyed attending and the experience
_Origin_ sounds like a must-see film. Added to my watchlist.
Already saw Origin. Movie of the year for 2023.
Pause for a moment and think Blair Underwood is almost 60 years old.
still fine
Blair is STILL Fine!!! ❤❤❤
Forever fine
Fantastic segment!
Always a joy to have her on the show ❤
Why she is a racist like Sunny and Whoopi are .. name 1 thing that was susceptible
Whoopi looks great🌺
She truly does.
I noticed! Her hair is stunning, especially with the beautiful gray!
Origin is a profound film that turns racism on it's head. Ava expertly made this beautiful film. The world should see it. I have seen every film this season and my vote for best picture is Origin.
Wow!
Where can we watch it i live in Uganda ?
God bless this conversation!
Thank You Ava for your brilliance and being a vessel
Of
Healing our land !
I heard about this movie earlier this year and watched it twice this weekend on Prime. This movie is so important and sheds a lot of light on the underlying notion about racism and all isms. It all has to do with hierarchy, superiority. It was so beautifully filmed and poignant. I cried throughout. I learned so many things that answer so many questions. It is a must watch.
Caste was one of the best books I've ever read. I look forward to seeing how she adapted this into a movie
I gotta get that book next. It's in my Amazon list.
"The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration" is Ms. Wilkerson's first book. I highly recommend it. I recall that she spent about 15 years researching material and interviewing people before she wrote this amazing literary work. Peace and blessings!
I just randomly watched this on Hulu. I didn't know anything about it. The opening scene shows a young man talking to his girlfriend on the phone. He walks into a convenience store, walks out and pulls his hoodie over his head. I hadn't put it together but he bought Skittles and a can of iced tea. As soon as I realized I was looking at Trayvon I started to tear up. Fantastic film! After I watched it I immediately purchased the book.
I read this book last summer.....very good read and heavy topic.
Love Ava Duvernay
Preach Ava!!
What a great book n you can be a part of the problem or solution, but you can't stand on the side!!
false, thats called the black or white fallacy
@etf42 absolutely nothing false about the book! It's false to ppl like you who refuse to look at HOW we got here! I'm black, n there's no falsehood in my being. Anti blackness is on full display n ppl like you quickly dismiss it. My experience is totally different from yours. I don't have the time to teach you.
@@etf42it gets me how people who don't have a clue about what they are talking about are always talking. What you said is ignorant and unhelpful. You know the side you chose. Complacency is consent and choosing not to fight evil is a choice. It is right or wrong.
@@ms.harris807lol the overwhelming majority of people think they 'fight evil' by posting online
What a powerful presentation! Thank you for the GIFT.
Stan Walker's song in response to this film"I am" is captivating in a global audience. The song makes this film a more appealing to approach.
It's so ironic that they can understand the different themes Ava is trying to show in this new film but most of them are ignoring the exact same thing happening to Palestinians right now! Sunny has been the only one to mention what is happening to Palestinians is genocide.
Lmao you are so wrong the Palestinians are in the wrong, not their land. It’s not a genocide no black person should support Muslims or Palestine. They are the biggest oppressors of Black people that’s a historical fact.
THANK YOU!!! i was just thinking this same thing
Yes ignoring the individual Palestinian and I would like to hear someone speak on the other ism Z**nism
@@jbrooks9420 as they should you know that no black person should support the Palestinians because Muslims are the biggest oppressors of Black people. Crazy how you don’t know this.
Brilliant woman doing important work
#electwomen
Sunny calling sh*t out for what is truly IS! Ava is a genius. 💙💙💙
Listen to the sound track Stan Walker a Maori New Zealander its mind blowing and so poignant.
Sonnie, looks stunning today!!
Get glasses homeboy
Be nice...@@energizerbunny99
Wasn't interested in seeing this movie...until I seen that preview. That looked very interesting now I'm all in.
It's interesting that they talk about ignoring genocide while ignoring the genocide in Palestine
That is a lie. You missed those conversations. Put your finger down or point it in the right direction. There is genocide going on in Africa and they talked about that also.
Ava DuVernay sure knows how to strip down concepts that many believe are too complex to dissect. Everything she said: 💯.
Exactly brilliantly said
Definitely deserves an Oscar!
The song for this film is amazing.
Ava looks like Phyllis Hyman:)
The cognitive dissonance of Joy talking about people ignoring holocausts yet not seeing why a ceasefire in Israel is important…
Thank you, that is literally what I just wrote, the hypocrisy is surreal
i want to watch this...✨🎥✨
Well wouldn’t it be nice if they could name the ongoing genocide in Palestine that they continue to ignore.
What a wonderful interview
The film is beyond brilliant. The best film/narrative/docudrama you will ever see. Opened my eyes. MUST SEE. Makes me want to read the book. Just a knock-down brilliant look into this most American of all American subjects, that ends up being a world wide human phenomenon.
There are plenty of people in film who are masters of being a counterfeit of Ava's real passion
She's a fantastic director and the film sounds amazing. Joy talking about people forgetting holocausts and the Armenian genocide is a little rich, when she has minimised and defended the current genocide going on in Palestine.
To be thirsty or fully available for our questions in film and cast...so many stories
Well said
Wow Joy. That's rich coming from you. Talking about genocide so eloquently while yesterday or the day before you said that that "we'll forget" about the 33,000 Palestinians so far by election day in November and "people will move on to the next thing". Sickening how people like Joy KNOW EXACTLY what's happening right now and who is responsible (israel) yet they choose to justify it at every turn. They can't even look at the 33,000 as humans.
This comment!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Is she wrong?
A Great conversation.
Ava Duvernay please make a movie about the Haitian revolution 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
💜💜💜💜💜
It was brilliant to link Nazi's with Confederates and Jim Crow South. Would have been nice to include South Africa and Israel
She should do a film based on some South African history she would knock it out of the park.
This is why aliens 👽 won’t talk to us.
@ava Duvernay... you filmed many parts of this is Savannah GA.. and not 1 theater is carrying it.
You have mentioned Holocaust - perhaps it would be important to also mention Ukrainian's Holodomor when between 7 to 10 million Ukrainian people were starved to death by Soviet Union man-made famine?
It's always envy. Those where the findings of Ida B Wells.
Such a talented woman. Can't wait to see this movie. It will be phenomenal.
🔥 🔥 🔥
Also called classism!
Read the book! 🙌🏼
This movie is amazing
Another great producer . THANK YOU.
I actually loved ISABELLA WILKERSON. FIRST NOVEL BETTER BUT I HAVE BOTH OF HER NOVELS
SHE IS AN AMAZING WRITER.
WARMTH OF OTHER SUNS is EVERYTHING! Definitely one of the best books that I’ve ever read.
This is a hellavu smart and articulate lady!
Ava is amazing ❤
Apartheid followed in the footsteps of Amerikkka. This happened in South Africa as well.
Nobody is denying that
Whoopi! DID WHOOPI SAY THE ORIGIN OF OF OUR DISCONTENT?
Joy “if you commit genocide people ignore it” as she ignores the genocide of Palestinians… you can’t make these things up!
The relationship between black people and cinema is an intersting one.
01/29/2024: This movie is excellent. It is entertaining and educational. I plan on buying the movie. I have love actress Aunjane Ellis-Taylor since "Girls Town" and "Undercover Brother", her performance in this is outstanding. Now, I have to read the book Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents.
Wouldn't it be nice if Isabel Wilkerson's message were heard and seen by more people? It is the most important message that must somehow get into all minds, especially black people in diaspora, ex-colonies, and all allies. How do we get the film into even more cinemas, arthouses, or even better, Netflix or Disney?
Where can I find this movie
In theaters now! A must watch!
I didn't realize that the name Ava was hard to pronounce?😮🤦🏾♀️🤷🏽♀️
READ the book
Sounds great, but I’m more into comedy, some RomComs, animation and super hero movies. 🤷♂️
Got to be aware of the realities of this world also.
@@FeelinErie WOKE
@@FeelinEriethat’s why I watch documentaries and have other sources. When I watch a movie I want to be entertained. That’s just me personally
@@javiruiz8365you are only one person. Films inform a lot of people. Movies highlight issues that the masses should know. Just being entertained is not why I watch movies and last time I checked no one is forcing you to see it. You just don't get to dictate which movies are made. Just don't try to discuss anything about a film that you know nothing about or assign its value based on your needs.
No problem. We each have our preferences. BUT, if you want to step out of that box, Caste would be the book and the movie to venture out to.
Oh werk another ozempic success! 👏🏾
And congratulations to stan walker i am. For the song origin
Nice sgenmen
Nice segment
Stop trying to type fast. You misspelled segment with "sgenmen"
💎💎💎💎💎
👑🩵‼️ #loveher
Funny how their talking about the ignoring of genocide when they have yet to directly address the genocide of Palestinians currently occurring
Exactly, so what you gonna do about it?
That is untrue. Sunny has brought it up multiple times.
I agree with Whoopi on this point
And the thing is, these people making these plans are in the minority. If everyone else organized they’d be non-entities
Right?
The white woman's line in the trailer "You're thesis is flawed" sold me on it, so I saw it Tuesday. Unfortunately, it's leaving my local theater after Wednesday due to lack of interest. After they cut away from Trayvon Martin before he was killed, who I don't think they named then, the movie takes about 15 minutes or so to become interesting again.
Then I liked the use of history and figures to support her point. One of the scenes showed Black Americans looking for _All Quiet on the Western Front_ in a Berlin library. It was an anti-war book from a German author and WW1 veteran, so it makes sense that the Nazis would ban it (and him) since it's opposite their narrative, though they don't go into this in the film.
DuVernay said in another interview that the word "race" is overused, and I can see how that and "racism" and "institutional racism" can be off-putting for understanding and reform. I have yet to read the book.
Interesting folks complained they were tired of "trauma" films (eg Color Purple) yet when a quality film comes along, no support. Saw Origin twice - a masterpiece!
As bad as Trump is I'm thankful because now it's never been so easy to pick a side.
Affordable Connectivity Program Is Winding Down
This mOvie changed my Life a s a Black 50 Year Old Gay Male..
Who is “Eva”????
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I have NO $$. I mean, i literally live on SNAP & other Gov Assistance Programs. But, if i could afford to go to even ONE MOVIE, in the next 5 years, it would be ORIGIN! I atleast saw The Original Color Purple or it might be my 1st Choice? Society has long been broken into segments of - Caste/ Class/ & Capitalism. It is the latter that today, drives this train of madness. {the patriarchy & misogyny/ misogynoir are also layers placed on Women, especially, of Color.} Please PPL - go see this MOVIE!! Meanwhile, i will have to wait for it to come out on Cable. But i'm already voting for Democracy; to the elimination of the notions of white, male - supremacy; & the further separations of Society; by cisgender & homophobia & xenophobia & jingoism - so many of these interlocking Oppressions: we are being orchestrated like Puppets, in their little game of making sure only 'certain' PPL will ever really kontrol the wealth & the power - in this Country ... the World. So, any little way they can find to divide us, have us fighting over the krumbs they drop from their Table, always looking to blame so & so, as to well, they have it better than i do & my oppressions is worse than theirs & .... Here's what i think, as a white lower working class woman, now retired: The future is - Women of Color!! Lead the Way & i will happily FOLLOW!!
While Taraji keeps complaining about fair play why dont we lift people like this talented actress who cant even get there. lets all be grateful
Ava is known as a director and producer not an actress
That's an unrelated issue. Taraji should continue to push for equal treatment and pay. Ava Duvernay is an accomplished writer and director, not an actress. Please brush up on what you're discussing before chiming in.
So wait be grateful that she has what she has but still does not get the correct amount That an A list white actress gets? So basically you want her to settle for less and not fight back and not speak her truth. Do you even here how you sound? Smh
Taraji needs better people around her to get her be paid the amount she believes she deserves. The only issue is that if the movies she is in are flopping like the Color Purple and all her Tyler Perry movies are flopping how can she ask for more money. That’s what her management and team is supposed to do.
You’re confused. Ava Duvernay is an award winning producer and filmmaker. Her most recent production was Now They See US a series about the Central Park 5.
shout out to ozempic!
How is Whoopi
50yr younger?
What in the world is sunny wearing?
Who?? Never heard of her
book "Caste" by ISABELLE WILKERSON
@@LisaFenton-h7f huh? Sorry no advertising
wow she is making all the rounds, yet the film is huge flop.
How can it be a flop when it is not in a theater? OR were you just trying to be.....
She kinda resembles Meagan Goode
The view is intentionally not reporting on the news that Israel is currently being tried for the crime of committing genocide against the Palestinian people at The Hague. They are being accused formally by the South African government. Please search for the ICJ if you are interested in learning more.
Completely untrue, that has been discussed more than once.
Ava looks great, she’s always been beautiful it looks like she slimmed down more?
She has
