WEEK 5: rave reviews



Review of BLACK PANTHER

Black Panther is a 2018 superhero movie. It is the first movie where the entire cast is black. This fact supposed a great impact on black communities since they were in some way represented. In the following review we can find the most important aspects that characterize an ideal review. The review is mainly composed by facts and the writer's opinion. Within the facts there are sentences like:  "The Dora Milaje, the Black Panther’s personal guard, believe that this means serving their country no matter who is on the throne" and opinion statements like the following: "I cannot fully express the joy of seeing a smart, carefree, nonsexualized young black woman on the big screen" "That controversial mindset", "Wright steals every scene with her bright smile"



                                                         


Review from https://www.polygon.com/2018/2/6/16974898/black-panther-review-marvel-movie

Black Panther seeks to find a middle ground between these two worlds: a world where black Americans aren’t left out of the cultural celebration of their West African roots, and where greedy people don’t have an opportunity to consume Wakanda. By focusing on the citizens of Wakanda and their disagreements on how to manage the country’s future, Coogler creates a sense of harmonic anarchy. Everyone wants to reach the same goal — to protect and preserve Wakanda — but they all have different ideas on how to get there.

“Wakanda forever” is a popular phrase among the nation’s people. The Dora Milaje, the Black Panther’s personal guard, believe that this means serving their country no matter who is on the throne. To N’Jobu, T’Challa’s uncle, and W’Kabi, his best friend, it means protecting Wakanda from any threat, at any cost. T’Challa believes in Wakanda’s moral fiber. He follows traditions closely, but also seeks to rectify the mistakes of the leaders who came before him. That controversial mindset comes to life in Shuri, T’Challa’s little sister, who bucks tradition.

Played by Letitia Wright, Shuri is a revelation. Wright steals every scene with her bright smile and perfect comedic timing. From a brazen middle finger to a sense of fashion and confidence in the face of imminent danger, Shuri is an inspiration for all. I cannot fully express the joy of seeing a smart, carefree, nonsexualized young black woman on the big screen.

But Wright’s is only the first in a long list of outstanding performances.

The women who make up T’Challa’s support system round out the cast terrifically. Angela Bassett plays the king’s mother, Ramonda. Headstrong and regal, her presence brings a calm assuredness to the team. Lupita Nyong’o’s Nakia is incredible. A Wakandan spy first, she is unwilling to compromise her desire to help people with her love for her king. There isn’t a Black Widow sex symbol here, or a Pepper Potts standing in the wings. The women of Black Panther are vital to Wakanda’s success.

In the swell of hype not much attention has been paid to Chadwick Boseman. Like Batman, T’Challa is a complex character who carries a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. And, like Batman, he is most interesting when the family he has collected surrounds him.

For T’Challa, this is his blood family — his mother and his sister — as well as the Dora Milaje and other local leaders. Because his people are his main priority, the conflict must come from within the community. Black Panther launches a new style of Marvel film. Like Ant-Man, Black Panther is a world unto itself. Although it’s connected to the larger universe through CIA operative Everett K. Ross, there aren’t any Avengers in the film. T’Challa will always choose Wakanda first.




  • What you've done this week to improve your English


In order to improve my English level I have watched a couple of episodes from a TV series known as "Riverdale". Obviously, I have watched them in English and with English subtitles, not only because my purpose is to learn English but because I enjoy originality, I like to hear the real voices of the actors and actresses. Furthermore, I dealt with some exercises from the teacher's website. In addition to that, I also helped my little brother to practice his English exam.
