Revolutionary? I doubt it. Certainly doesn't feel revolutionary to me or my ilk. People forget that black is not the only color in the POC umbrella. Show me a Hollywood superhero blockbuster centered around latino or Indian or southeast Asian culture and maybe we can start throwing the word "revolutionary" around. Not that I have anything against the movie or the color of any of the actors in it, I just think it should be enjoyed for what it is: a fictional superhero blockbuster. Let's just drop all the political agenda. We already have enough of that in our daily lives, we don't need it in our fictional escapes as well. if more black lead movies succeed there could be more doors opened for Latinos and asians. Its a step by step process. When that event happens, then you can claim it's revolutionary for POC. Right now it isn't. After all, blacks are the 2nd most well-represented race in media after Caucasians and have been for decades. This film may very well end up being a great film (I hope it is) but it isn't quite as revolutionary as you make it seem. It isn't doing anything completely new, though we can say it might be improving on things that were already done before. |
