Celebrating inclusion
Why is Black Panther an important movie?
'Black Panther' is the blackest superhero Marvel made, which shows concrete steps towards inclusion are being taken. The timing of 'Black Panther' couldn't have been better. The under representation of actors of color in Hollywood has been facing ire lately. The #OscarsSoWhite campaign also spoke about this negligence, which led the Academy to make much-needed changes.
A wonderful movie
All hail Black Panther, say critics
Black Panther is the story of a fictional, technologically advanced African nation Wakanda, whose newly crowned king T'Challa faces trouble from within. The concept, direction, and performances have got rave reviews from critics. While one called it 'a love letter to every black person', another said it was 'a correction for years of diversity neglect'.
