“We Don’t Need Another Hero” is a masterpiece. Fun fact: “What’s Love Got to Do with It” was originally written for Phyllis Hyman, another fallen Queen🙏🏾
Show some respect.
Wildest Dreams and Private Dancer “American Express will do nicely; thank you please!”
Funfact Tina Turner re-recorded all the songs and also did Angela’s makeup and helped with the steps
Ohh wow..
A Queen!!! I love that!! ❤❤❤
Even more reason to love this.
Wow that’s mind blowing. We didn’t know that. All I ever seen was a interview on Tina saying she didn’t agree with how they pretrayed Ike and her in the🎉🎉😮😮 film.
Her generous support of the movie process was not easy for her emotionally. The stress caused a breakout of painful shingles.
Angela Bassett play her heart and soul in this role ... She was robbed twice at the Oscars
Exactly
She really wasn’t black Panther 2 wasn’t that good She’s had other roles where she deserved a Oscar but that one 😅😅her performance was amazing but ……
@@marilyn1984 her role in black panther 2 was good
@@smilealwaysnatasha3423 I didn’t say it wasn’t I said it was amazing but was she rob of a Oscar for that role no 👎🏽. She’s had other performances that topped what she did in that movie and it’s a forgettable performance
@@marilyn1984 and your point is. She still deserved the Oscar for black panther. Not Jaime lee Curtis. Do not speak on what you clearly don't know
i think the black community turning this into a little bit of a comedy comes from us using humor to deal with trauma.. we know its not funny but its one of those laugh to keep from crying situations
That's actually a pretty common way of dealing with extreme trauma, actually. It's definitely not right, but it does explain a lot about how we process things as a community.
The problem is that you’re supposed to turn your OWN trauma into comedy, you can’t decide to turn someone’s else trauma into a joke, that just makes you a shitty person.
@@oihcam22 where did i say that it was ok?
@oihcam22 Yes, that is absolutely accurate, But I've found some people do this because they literally empathise so much they become too attached emotionally to somebody else's pain. This makes them nervous, so they laugh or make jokes. Really look at Tina's abuse and what she went through. The horror is literally so relentless to even witness, let alone go through, that sometimes humour is the only thing that stops you from breaking. Though of course, there are people who genuinely like pain or others being in pain, but that's a whole other ball game.
@@oihcam22 Yeah, that's the thing people seem to forget. Using humour to cope is for the people who've gone through that trauma, making jokes about a DV situation that you'd never find yourself in is being an asshole, end of. People threw cheap shots at Tina till she emigrated from the States and never looked back bc all the jokes and callbacks centered her abuse over her success. And that ended up setting a precedent for how famous women who've been abused or assaulted get treated by the public.
In the end, Miss Tina found her happy ending. She owned the Tina Turner name, made an amazing comeback as a solo artist, played at sold out arenas, found a man who truly loved her, etc. She will be missed. RIP Queen of Rock & Roll!!!
Accordong to what she said on Oprah in 1993 she didn't want to keep the name and didn't have any court room declaration about keeping it. She said that was inaccurate in the movie.
Yes
@@nicim3730yes she didn't want to keep the name but that's now what the other poster is saying, he's just stating the fact that she owned it nevertheless, it became her brand.
@@edmundsishange3608 I don't need any clarification about the original comment that was posted. Perhaps you need clarification about my reply.
@@nicim3730 You may go ahead and clarify
“NOW YOU KNOW YOU NEEED A ASS WHOOPIN” that line will always be great 😂😂😂
My favorite line of the whole movie 😂
😂😂😂😂
For Tina's mom to snitch on her to her husband when she was trying to run away to safety only makes me wonder what was the real reason she went to move back in with her mom in New York after abandoning her all her childhood in the first place? The only thing that came to mind was that now that Tina was old enough to get a job, she would be able to bring another paycheck into the house. Tina was nothing more than another paycheck to her.
Im thinking the same thing. Her mom was trash!!
You definitely should read Tina's memoir her mother never loved her she also remained in contact with ike after he and tina divorced and was even at her funeral tina refused to go since ike was going to be there
Can you please do the Selena movie because the story of Selena, but also offers all opportunity to view the struggles of marginalised people- or the other- and the womanhood and culture.
Then parents wonder why their children resent them.
"this child is gonna be a nurse; bring a steady paycheck in this house." -when the mom was talking to ike when he came to ask for her permission to record with tina.
Laurence Fishburne is forever immortalized because of this film especially meme culture
Ever heard of The Matrix??
@@goldenlady3495 Matrix got the red pill, blue pill meme (only mainstream one) This movie has at least 3-4 of his faces that’s been meme’d since the dawn of the word
@@Djrexda1 memes? Lol 😂 cringe
hell yeah. the day of her death they went Straight for the bullshit on Fuckbook. was't even 19 hrs . our peple need to do better , i swear.
@@MrAjking808 Sir. Your usage of "cringe" as an adjective instead of a verb is, in itself, a meme.
This movie, Ray, Malcolm X, and even Ali are the standards for biopics. Masterpieces across the board.
Don't forget the Jackson 5 biopic! There's nothing like them and won't be for a very long time!
Selena too!!
Straight outta Compton and the New Edition Story are up there too!
@@bougiebohemian5393traight outta Compton was horrible the cast was good but it’s field with lies to make dr Dre look like some type of superhero and made eazy look like the bad guy (not saying he’s innocent) but definitely not the bad guy and a lot of the things that were in the movie are proven to literally be lies and it didn’t even focus on all the members only dr Dre , ice cube , eazy e what about The two
@@TF-gf3fs Color Purple isn't a biographical film
Angela Basset was so good in that role she had us thinking she was REALLY Tina. This movie is a master class in acting for real 👌🏽😂
This was Bassett’s best career performance, and she will never get enough credit for her physical conditioning to play Tina. Her arms looked like 2001 David Robinson 😂
Those performances were fire 🔥
Dont forget her as Katherine Jackson!!!!
Can you please do the Selena movie because the story of Selena, but also offers all opportunity to view the struggles of marginalised people- or the other- and the womanhood and culture.
Also Malcolm X
When I was watching the movie and I was like damn she’s in good shape 😂
Ike always throw “you gone leave me like all the other suckas I made famous” in Tina’s face. Guilt tripping 🤦🏾♀️
Tina said that doing River deep, Mountain High was the first time she felt like she sang because with Ike he would have her screaming. And her name. Ike patened the name Tina Turner so it was like an invention. If she hadn't demanded ber name in the divorce then he could take the name and give it to another woman just to draw a crowd. So getting her name was very important because she didn't get anything else in the divorce so she bet on herself. And won!
it's really a blessing she was able to preserve her vocal cords now that you bring that up. She had a powerful voice.
@@forthenostalgia yea and you gotta remember screaming and crying at home, screaming on stage because that's how ike wanted her to sing, and living in an unhealthy environment. Tina was strong and that's why I love and admire her so much.
Baby that's my song. ❤😂
“Go straight to hell, ike!” 😂😂😂😂😂
Let's hope he's still currently there, FOREVER!!! 👹👿
@@arielbanks5557 In the boiler room of Hell.
I saw my daddy beat my momma like this and grew up in this violence. I saw how my mamma still smiled with black eyes behind dark shades! She was my brothers and my rock and was beautiful and did everything for us. We were always taught to kerp "everything in the family house". I was a straight A student, played sports, smiles etc...! Im now 61 years old and when I hear yelling or loud noises , I literally almost jump out of my skin! RIP Mama
Bless her 💕🥺 and you and your siblings
@@yendaaaa Thank you and God Bless you😘
I think a not talked about enough impact of this film is how for a lot of millennials, this film showed domestic violence can happen to anyone. It became so normal for Tina's abuse and trauma to be mocked in music and pop culture that a lot of ppl began saying they want the "Ike and Tina" type of relationship: whoop my ass now and buy me gifts later. Tina's life was so tragic. Im just glad she got her flowers while she wad alive.
Maybe, I know Chris Tucker made the joke on Rush Hour 2 about Ike and Tina getting back together. But I don't think in real life normal folk were saying they strived to be like Ike and Tina. Been alive 32 years, jokes were made, references in music, on Twitter, with friends etc but never seen anyone in real life say they wanted to be like them. Ppl wanted to be like Will and Jada. And that was before the red table talk told us what was really going on with them behind closed doors, and then the Will slap Chris Rock debacle. Any man who would have came to me talking about he wanted to be like Ike would have been an immediate hell no to even getting the phone number let alone a whole relationship lol.
“He’s a good man savannah” 😂😂😂😂
“A good man”
@@ishathompson8439 😂😂
I'll have to be honest it is sad that this movie has been used more in a comic relief stance then the actual tragedy that it is supposed to betray, what makes it even worse was that Tina Turner even said that she was tired of talking/reliving those experiences because of the movie.
She tried to put her history with Ike to bed so many times. With the People mag interview, the book and the movie...but it only magnified it and made people want to know more
@@forthenostalgia yes that's absolutely correct.
I forgot how much of a snake Tina's mother was
Yep she was truly horrible
Now don't think u gone come live in my house and make me feel bad 🤨...u gone pull yo weight girl this ain't just some party town HEAR 🤌🏾... We ALL got jobs...tomorrow u start looking 😎...THE QUEEN MOTHER Jenifer Lewis 🌹🫡👑 that lady PLAYED that role
I didn't lol she was terrible
I would not have done shit for her. Haven’t raised me but expect me to take care of you just because you’re my mother? GIRL BYE!!!!! BYE STRANGER!!
I never cared for Ike’s friend. He never held ike accountable for nothing. Some friend he was 🤦🏾♀️
Most people never held him accountable because he had money and power. Hence the need for her to make several attempts to escape.
Held accountable? That wasn’t his business to get in
I think it was because the friend didn’t exist in real life. Jackie, nor Frost were real people
This is an everyday occurrence with most abusers.
@@Spokentruths725 unfortunately I agree
Tina Turner (Anna Mae Bullock) was a living miracle and a testament to perseverance/resilience and the magnitude of the human spirit. She is an inspiration to all, ascended her obstacles, and imprinted a lasting legacy upon the world. Rest in power.
💯💯💯💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽👆🏽🙏🏼🙏🏼 Definitely RIP a Legend.
I was happy as hell when she put hands on him in the limo that’s my favorite part in the whole movie she finally stood up for herself
Same.
Interesting fact:
The scene where Tina tries to ask Ike for a break and he verbally berates her and gaslights her into performing-the moment when he kisses her cheek on stage was ad libbed by LF which took AB by surprise and it was the exact move needed to trigger the silent tears she cries in that moment.
AB credits LF a lot for taking care of her during the filming of this movie and for being a perfect scene partner.
Main thing I remember was how swoll Angela got for that role! Her arms were 🔥🔥🔥
I need her workout plan 😂
@@forthenostalgia Me too 😂
Sis probably had a whole personal trainer and everything 🔥
I think it’s so beautiful how she went through a DV relationship, had to start over in her career and came back to find a beautiful TRUE love and a BIGGER career. Even tho she’s gone she got to revamp her life which most don’t get to do before they go💖
This made me cry lol, beautifully said.
Also, shout out to Ruth Carter for the costume designs for this film. Reading about the preparation on Angela’s behalf for this movie will always put a smile on face 🥲. Tina really made sure Angela had everything down to a T 👏🏾.
I never knew Ruth Carter did the costumes for this! Also, talk about a full circle moment, she’s the same woman who did the costumes for Black Panther 🖤🖤🖤
Omg Ruth Carter has truly done some iconic movies!
Ike was definitely a narcissist in my opinion. I relate to this movie because, even though I have never been with a man who was *physically* abusive to me, I have definitely been with a man who was a no-good, manipulative, gaslighting narcissist. They are always abusive in some kind of way.
Anyway, I think Tina was a prime target for an abuser and didn't even know it until it was too late. I think what happened to her is the same thing that happens to A LOT of women: she was neglected and abused as a child, she was used by her no-good momma, and it damaged her self-esteem to the point that she started looking for that love she did not get as a child. I believe Ike sensed that about her and took advantage.
But what makes this movie so good and relatable is that even though he brought her down to her lowest low, she grew to see that man for who he truly was and found a stregnth within herself that she had not known before. She grew wiser and more self-assured from her trauma. Miss Tina is definitely an inspiration for that reason and many others.
An abuser knows how to sniff out a victim. They always vet their partners. Thats why its such a big problem when a woman is successful, has a father figure in her life and is smart and aware....she wont be an easy victim and cant be manipulated. Like you said, Tina was the perfect victim for Ike. But Tinas gifts weren't for Ike to benefit from. I'm so glad her story ended the way it did. She deserved so much more than Ike could ever give.
@@forthenostalgia Facts 💯
@@forthenostalgia *healthy* father figure! Not an abusive & dysfunctional father figure (like mine).
@@sparklefairy34 yes, having a healthy father figure is so important. Im sorry you have to deal with that.
👏🏽💯💯
This is one of my favorite movie, Angela played the HELL outta Tina, I don’t understand why she didn’t get an oscar for it!!!!
Funny thing is, Laurence Fishburne actually abused his ex wife prior to this movie which is why he was so good at playing Ike Turner 😂
For real? Or is this a joke?
@@iamcarita lol I’m deadass 😂 I was watching one scene where Laurence was beating Angela ass and I was like Laurence looked too comfortable playing this role he had to beat women before because he look more abusive and scary than the real Ike Turner so I happened to Google him and it was revealed that he use to abuse his ex wife and he had to go to therapy for it. See my intuition never fails 😂
@@deontaeb. lol you got info from the internet? Lmao bye stfu
It’s true , he said his changed and I hope it’s true Laurence is a great actor
@@deontaeb. Wow
Wow, wow, wow!! I wholeheartedly agree that we owe Tina an apology. Angela Bassett and especially Laurence Fishburne channeled Ike and Tina. Her mom was just a sellout and a gold digger who couldn’t heal from her past trauma. Once Jackie gave Tina the recipe to practice Buddhism, that was it for Ike. And I didn’t know that slap was real when Ike hit Jackie (they better have paid Vanessa Bell Calloway) extra. Although she didn’t want no parts of America in her later years, we wanted all of Tina. I know she’s more peaceful than she was here on earth. Rest in perfect peace Tina ❤.
Do you have Two Can Play That Game on your list of movies? Lewks and iconic lines were giving in the movie.
Exactly! And Two Can Play That Game is a classic!!
@@marissawilson4644 Yes! Such a cult classic!!
I love both What's Love Got To Do With It & Two Can Play That Game. Vivica Fox was gorgeous & sexy as ever, too in that movie. Angela Bassett was hella sexy in How Stella got Her Groove Back. RIP, TINA. I love you
One thing about it I’m glad I’ve never turned her trauma into a comedy. It was never funny and never will be - I genuinely hated when people made skits about it
R. I. P. Tina Turner. She was amazing. What's downplayed in the movie is that as big as Tina was in the U.S. She was HUUUGE overseas. River Deep Mountain High was #1 in Spain, #3 in the UK, #9 in the Netherlands. It also got the Rolling Stone interested in Ike and Tina touring with them as their opening act.
BTW Vanessa Bell Calloway was superb as Jackie. Actually her character didn't exist in real life. She was a collection of many people in Tina Turner's life through the years...
I've been saying Jackie's chant since I was 10. When I'm stressed it just comes out. Didn't realize it was Buddhism I just thought it was meditation lol. I feel worldly now lol ❤😅😊😂
It is meditation, though. You can be any religion and use Buddist methods such as chants. I study World Religions, and I tend to favor Eastern religious practices, tenets, and thought processes, though I do not strictly follow any of them.
Literally this movie was one of the first reasons why I went into Buddhism (Shinnyo-en branch). It truly is a religion/practice that calms the mind, & when looking more into the teachings, makes you stronger for yourself & others around you.
Tina knew Ike couldn’t stop her from being this Queen. She’s the Queen
Ike was already a scumbag and moving out to L.A. just made it even worse. Especially when he picked up that drug habbit
His natural behavior and that coke didnt mix
..straight destruction
@@forthenostalgia yep exactly 💯💯 he really turned into a monster after that
It's bittersweet that she had to pass away for so many people to realize how fantastic she actually was. ❤️
What??!! People been knowing how amazing tina was BEFORE she passed on. She was an icon and is Beyoncés inspiration.
Definitely not. She was a huge star while alive.
Angela basset and Laurence Fishburne played the hell out of their roles
Absolutely
Random Trivia: Angela Bassett & Jennifer Lewis also played sisters in Meet The Browns.
“LB PUT ME IN THAT GRAVE!”
As well as Ike & Tina playing the parents in boyz n the hood
I hope that this movie and Tina's memoir helped other domestic violence victims find the courage to leave there abusive spouses
💯
The BC gave her so MUCH turmoil about what she endured and the 🎵🎶.. However she went where she was appreciated and valued. I watched a interview that she did with David Letterman around 22 years ago. I saw it last week and she stated that she wasnt as big as Madonna in the US(She should've been) but she was bigger or as big as her in Sweden. Eye opening.
She had to go where she was celebrated. America was too worried a out Ike and her age.
Yep that's why she lived her later years in life in Europe
Just like Josephine Baker found her success and built her life in France.
Ageism was (and still is) a huge problem (and it certainly affected Madonna once she hit a certain age too, as it has just about every other artist from the 60s, 70s, 80s and even 90s). Tina had a really huge window in the US around 1984-1987 or so after she exploded back onto the scene but Europe embraced her for a lot longer. Regardless of her sales and singles performances dropping off a cliff after 1987, she ALWAYS sold out every show she played, American audiences still made every concert a sellout. But her popularity never declined in Europe in terms of being a hitmaker, she had as many hits in the 90s there as she did the 80s.
This is one of the greatest music biopics of all time. Fun Facts: Vanessa Bell Calloway was in Tina Turner’s What’s Love Got To Do With It video.

@@1977kennyken right??? its crazy because ive never seen this movie, just clips. im one of the youngins but ive always been so interested in seeing more 90s-2000s movies but in this case, tina’s legacy.
Side note this movie has nothing on the book and the real tea. Chile the things I found out later on in life had me clutching my pearls. 😩😩😩
*searches Audible for book*
There was a lot misleading information. For instance, they got the year when Tina tried to end her life wrong 🙃.
@@nicolesherman8974 yeah a lot of information was left out. Like Tina son being a band members child. And the studio R scene never happened. That was something writers made up. Tina said the movie was just a movie inspired by her life.
@@MeresankhJ The r scene didn't happen like that but it did happen. In 2013 Tina did an interview with Oprah and talked about the first time Ike hit her. He hit with a wooden shoe stretcher and made her head swell. Then told her to get in bed. He did R word her.
@@cartersmom0629 she said in her book my love story that when her & Ike would be intimate it would feel like r word
Right! Because Angela Bassett deserve her Oscar and domestic violence is not funny.
The sweet potato pie comment….girl 😂😂😂 spot on with this video!! Thank you for paying homage to the Queen of ROCK N ROLL that is Tina Turner. I was introduced to this film by my older sister growing up & I fell in love with this movie & found my love for Tina since then 😫 as I grew older I couldn’t watch the abuse scenes because of the stories I’ve heard between my own parents before I was born but lemme just say my father was like Ike minus being a musician.
I’m a little lost. What’s up with the sweet potato pie?
No cap when I saw this as a kid - I never wanted to watch it again. It scared me and traumatized me. My mom went through something a little similar and although I didn’t witness it. It became and still remains a huge fear of mine. I realize I didn’t even remember most of the film while watching this recap , but only the part of her seeking high power and strength and fighting Ike and gaining her freedom. Those parts stick to me heavily and I love them for Tina. I love that she gained the strength to overcome all her obstacles and to find the love within herself to live the life she deserved. She died loved and cared for, and that’s the best gift of all. ❤
Tinas story is sadly so relatable for a lot of women. I've witnessed it and survived it as well. Her story proves that greatness is al ways on the other side. Her life story is filled with so many nuggets to learn from.
Angela Bassett truly was robbed at the Oscars for this role, truly a pivotal moment in her career. 🖤 also, shout-out to the Empress and Pioneer of Rock & Roll Tina Turner. I’m so happy she received her flowers while she was with us and will continue receive her flowers. Rest in Paradise Anna Mae Bullock AKA Tina Turner 📿☸️🖤
Honestly, even an Oscar is below Angela Basset at this point. Her talent surpasses that trophy.
If tina was with ike..she would've died in a much earlier age.
Yes!
Tina's mother never loved her not even once she became famous and to make matters worse she still kept in touch with ike which I find to be truly despicable to me till her death ike was at her funeral
I'm literally watching this right now and I see this in my recommendations. It's been a while since I've watched this but I'm half way through the movie realizing Tina's mom wasn't 💩 and the reason why she took her sister and not Tina when she abandoned her was because they had different fathers. Snitching on your daughter to her abusive husband was an all time low.
Also shoutout to her amazing hubby Erwin for showing Tina the unwavering love and respect and safety she lacked from the previous! Erwin is the best! He’s the king to her queen! 🙏❤️👑🌹#ErwinAndTinaForever! Love to both! 🙏❤️
My mom LOVED Tina Turner and brought us to the theatres for this one, I'd have been 8 or 9. Moms got LIT during the limo fight scene. There's a lot of scenes that have stuck with me from this movie, but that one has a special place in my mind for seeing Tina get some get back and for how hype it made my mother.
RIP Alma and Tina, miss both of yall.
Tina was a fighter and didn't give a damn what stood in her way because she stopped at absolutely nothing to get where she wanted to be. What didn't kill her, made her stronger
You did this to such a classy level, showing the Queen such respect. Very well done.
Fun Fact: Rose Jackson (Juanita from Dead Presidents) was an Ikette & Richard T. Jones was Ike Jr.
My fave line is when she tells Ike "I got people coming to see me, coming to see me." That hurt Ike the most IMO. Keep up the good work.
Why do people want to apologize after she passes away? The movie was never funny and script writers threw in silly lines to soften the horrific abuse she went through. It's too late to apologize.
RIP to the Queen of Rock & Roll .❤
1993. Child what a time. This movie is top tier. And I have to say Miss Tina was/is definitely a icon.
Tina said that they took wayyyyy too much creative liberty with this movie and it was extremely exaggerated. I honestly feel bad for Ike now that I know the truth.
You must be joking 😂
Whether the role is good or bad Angela Bassett always put in the effort to it, and seeing Angela in this movie is beautiful. 😍
I love this movie so much! It’s in my top 3 of favorite biopics (along with Malcom X and Ray).
I never thought this movie was funny as a child
Domestic violence was a sensitive subject for my mom
As an adult watching the movie now, they make Tina's life revolve around Ike
I've watched a couple documentaries about Tina Turner and she is quite a woman! Funny, upfront, sassy, smart, stylish, smooth talker.
She's imperfect, made mistakes. I could go on.
I wish we would've seen more of this side of her in the movie
Alline Bullock from wikipedia:
After her sister's acrimonious divorce from Ike in 1978, Bullock still considered him her brother-in-law and attended his funeral in 2007. She told Ebony in 2008: "He was generous and jovial. He seemed like he was forgiving and wanted to be forgiven for the things he did in his early years. The media after he died, tried to destroy his name."
Uhm, holy crap. I go to war for my sister and she ain’t even getting beaten up.
So, her mother and her sister took her abusers side?! Like saw like i guess smh...
@@forthenostalgia would like to think they didn’t take sides because taking just his side would be so much worst.
She deserved so much love but I don’t know…her mother was just a hell of a piece of work.
@@forthenostalgiaIke Turner Is A Narcissist
Angela Bassett is and always be my hero. I'll always love the "I'm not worried. You on the other hand should be" from Waiting to Exhale. Like my mom being a single black woman raising kids and never giving up on yourself. As Mary J. Blige sang "you can't keep a good woman down." I ❤ this woman like she's my second mom. I ❤ her to death.
Loved this movie as a kid! And still see it as a classic. I’d say this film taught me at a young age how to spot an abuser. Also introduced me to Tina’s music.
Yes as always you make my Sunday mornings. !! I want to
Thank you for your content. You give me nostalgic feelings of my childhood anticipating my favorite show. 😘😘
You're so welcome. Thank YOU for your continuous support 💕
I can’t believe he really slapped her!! Omg I love this movie!! Great review thank you beautiful ❤🙏🏽
The fact Angela Bassett and Jennifer Lewis look related in this movie is amazing 👏🏿💯 Black Queens
Looking back on these movies showing black relationship trauma is really disturbing and uncomfortable to watch nowadays. I don't care for these movies anymore we have to see healthy black love stories.
Yes but honestly showing both is important.
Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne both should have won an Oscar and Grammy 1993 no disrespect
RIP Anna Mae Bullock
I have been saying we turned this into a comedy for years. Especially when the whole meg situation happened people compare the two when it came to how the black community treated them both. I haven't finished the video but I can tell its good.❤
When I saw the full movie (uncut) as an adult, I was even more pissed. That “grape” scene was terrifying. I know the jokes (mainly, the cake one), but I never acted like this movie was comedic.
That was Ike and Tina's actual house some of the scenes in this movie were filmed in.
It was, they kept the house exactly as it was when they owned it for years. Now its just a regular home.
Dorothy Dandridge w Halle!!!! Ms. Berry is slept on would love commentary on her biopic loved me some Dorothy
They were here in Dallas on their last fight when she ran away. The hotel they stayed at is now the Lorenzo
I HATEDDDD Laurence after seeing this. I didnt like him again until he made The Matrix. I love how he didnt want to do this film until he heard Angela was. they killed it ❤
RIp TIna Turner ( Anna Mae Bullock ) I'm so happy and glad Tina had the strength and courage to continue on with her life and have a extremely successful career without that monster Ike Turner in it to drag her down, I just know Tina is a great wonderful place while Ike is in well the other place as he rightfully deserves, RIP Tina Turner 🙏🕊️❤️
Fun trivia, Frank Zappa got the chance to work with Tina Turner and the Ikettes on Over-Nite Sensation (great album), and Tina was so proud of her accomplishments, but Ike hated because it was too "weird" and demanded that their name be removed and they were only paid $25 for the months total they spent on it.
Great album. HIGHLY recommend checking it out.
I'm definitely checking it out
@@forthenostalgia Please do. The songs they're featured in are
Dinah-Moe Humm (very dirty)
I'm The Slime
Dirty Love
Montana (my favorite)
Zomby Woof (also my favorite)
Thank-you VERY much for this. I was about 7 or 8 when this came out but saw it when i got older. Then repeatedly as the years went past.
In the movie, Tina/Anna Mae they made Ike the father of the first child when it was her ex boyfriend's child. I kinda wish that they didn't change it.
P.S. Your commentary in this video was excellent. I enjoy your more comedic type reviews too, but I also like your more serious reviews like this one because your commentary is thoughtful and on point.
Yes!!!💯❤️
@@t_harris2_489 yessss, For the Nostalgia calls it like she sees it and hits the nail on the head every time!
Thank you 😊
When I was in high school, we watched this movie to study abuse. I would think about this movie often when I was in my last relationship because I was able to see the abuse occurring in my own and my sibling-in-law’s relationship. If I hadn’t seen this movie and gone through that course in health class, I’d be in a very different place right now
I’ve seen this movie several times but your breakdown made it feel like this was my 1st time watching it! Great job as always ❤️❤️
Fun fact both Ike and Tina said the movie was exaggerated and wasnt completely factual.
Thank you!!!
She didn’t say the movie itself was exaggerated, she said the way they portrayed her was exaggerated. Tina had already been with 2 men when she got with Ike. And she wasn’t fantasizing about him all day after seeing him perform like the movie showed.
The “black community” made this movie into a comedy. The abuse of BW is not taken seriously at all in the “community” BW need to divest as far as they can away from blackistan
I agree. Not to mention us getting smacked down at every turn when trying to have deeper conversations about what needs to change in our communities…ugh
If we think about how this movie plagued Tina for the rest of her life... The jokes, the songs with the reference of her getting abused. She and especially her husband got tired of people constantly bringing up Ike in interviews. Tina said that her situation with Ike was 16 years, she and her husband had been together over 40 years. Her documentary was painful but beautiful to watch. I'm happy that she found someone to truly love her in the end.
This was so good!!!! You hit every point and your final thoughts left me in tears!! YOU ATE THAT
Thank you 😊
Tina was a BEAUTIFUL icon! She went through so much and still pushed through. Love her so much
Pretty sure I’ve binged all of your videos in one sitting. Keep ‘em coming!! 👏🏾👏🏾
Ms. Bassett should have gotten ALL the awards by now! Hollywood is seriously tripping, no disrespect to Jamie Lee Curtis but she didn't deserve that award, it was not her year. Also I did not get comedy vibes from this movie, it was a comedy genre? they did her like that guys book that created fresh off the boat, what an insult
❤❤Thank you for this heartwarming review! God bless you
.RIP Tina Turner !
At 12:46 when Ike says "the sorriest mother******* I've ever seen" lives rent free in my head! I use it faithfully when somebody says I'm sorry! 😂 R.I.P. Queen Tina
Ike and zelma are the same fr they were jealous of tina trying to hold her back
Ike was abusive narcissist
Zelma was a deadbeat who left her daughter but wanted to be in her successful life thank god for jackie and her grandmother they led her in the right path
RIP Tina Turner 💔🙏🏾🕊️🥀
I absolutely loved how you broke this down and your final thoughts. This movie is how Angela Basset became my favorite actress. Tina was a strong woman and fought til the end!
No comment, this review was superb. It was everything that I thought it would be. I loved the counters, and the sleazeball counter was amazing 😂. I truly like how you spoke about the trauma in a eloquent way, that still gave her her power back in the end because that’s exactly what she did!
Thank you so much 😊
Tina and ike trauma bonded in the beginning. 🤦🏾♀️
