Hello Friends,
The Black Panther movie is superb. It’s an adventure, a
fantasy with Sci-Fi. I liked the African story, characters, cinematography,
costumes and lively soundtrack of drum beats.
T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) is a good man and he returns home
to become King of a special African nation, and also the next Black Panther in
the line of succession. His straight forward plans are interrupted when two different
men challenge him for the kingship. One of the men has deliberate intentions to
start the next world war.
T’Challa must fight for his legacy and protect his country
from harm. He’s going down. And there were heart-stopping moments when his
enemies got the better of him.

Fortunately, T’Challa has a group of amazing women in his
life. His mother, sister, the woman he loves, the greatest warrior of the
nation, and a team of all-female body guards. They surround him, support him,
think and act independently of him, and ultimately save him so he can fulfil
his destiny.

| From L to R, Shuri (Sister), Nakia (Love Interest), Ramonda (Mother) & CIA agent |
Ramonda (Angela Bassett) is the matriarch and mother in pain
who doesn’t give up on her son, T’Challa. She has a dignified presence on
screen as she collaborates with the other women.
Shuri (Letitia Wright), sister of T’Challa, is a Geeky Boss of
Technology. Adorable, funny, lights up the movie screen, I want to hang out
with her and learn all about the nation’s technology that’s housed in a tower
headquarters.
A mind-blowing moment for me featuring Shuri was when they
projected a hologram of a pilot into a fight scene with spaceships for him to
shoot them down. It was multi-dimensional science and reality.
I liked that Shuri could use technology to heal people completely,
rather than the familiar use for the destruction of people.

Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) is a fierce warrior, spy, a woman with
a mission to fight for the oppressed. She is the woman T’Challa loves and wants
to make her his queen. Lupita Nyong’o was radiant in this role, her beauty
glowed and her skills and independence was a triumph.
 |
| Okoye, Nakia & Dora Milaje Warrior. |
Okoye (Danai Gurira), is the General, the greatest warrior of
the nation, and member of the Dora Milaje, the all-female protection squad.
Okoye seemed to me, to be principled, well-trained, and her
reflexes were lightning fast. She was athletic and graceful. Her rich red costumes
were glorious. I laughed when she threw her uncomfortable wig of brown hair at a
bad guy in a South Korean casino. Another high point for me was Okoye clinging to
the top of a car during a chase scene through the streets of South Korea, and
refusing to give up a fight. Her loyalty was beyond question.
