Well the first lie is that its based on a true story, it isn't the only factual events are The Kingdom of Dahomey did certainly exist, its now called Benin, King Ghezo also existed, so did a woman Battalion, but the story line that they fought against slavery total fiction the Dahomey practiced slavery for hundreds of years before any Europeans arrived in Africa, and continued long after Europeans abolished it. Plus the woman warriors hunted for slaves and kept and traded slaves. Dahomey was built on and became powerful because of slavery. But as a non Historical movie ignoring some of the fictional dialog, it was well done the fight scenes great the acting great, it should have been a fictional African and just focused on drama and the action, leaving out the Political B.L.M. Hype, then it would have been a great movie. Slavery was evil by all that practiced it, victims of slavery both black Africans and White Europeans. My wife's Great great great Grandmother was taken as a white slave in 1845 from the Cornish coast, as a concubine sex slave for seven years, from the age of 18 till 25 when she was sold to the Vatican, who took her to Rome then sent home to England utterly a broken Woman, some five months later she took her own life.
I was genuinely surprised that woke hollywood made this movie🤔🤔 Many of us in Africa, especially us Nigerians, know of how Dahomey was a slaver kingdom that only stopped slavery because, ironically, the Europeans conquered them and forced them to stop slavery. Who thought this movie was a good idea?!
Bet they're going to be omitting a great deal from the true story, to fit the wokecentric audience that'll be ALL over this movie like flies on shit.
Thanks for your comment🥰🥰
Postghost why not go and produce your non woke version. They did it their way, go do it your way and stop whining
In Denmark, folk called their queens husband Queen Henry😊
In the movie they did admit that they were getting tired of the slave trade. Remember the olive line line to use it as tribute
The woman king? isn't that just the Queen 🤣🤣
