DRAMA
PLOT:
A black young boy grows up in a ghetto neighborhood.
The
movie is broken down into three parts first chapter, when Chiron is a young boy
and is bullied because he is little and has to deal with his drug addict
mother. Second chapter, he is a teen and
realizes he is not straight but still shy and still bullied. Third chapter he is a well-built,
chain-wearing gangster who is still has gay feelings. The acting is amazing! Most of the actors are unknown except for
Mahershala Ali (Luke Cage, Hidden Figures), Naomie Harris (Monypenny in the
latest James Bond movies) and Janelle Monae (Hidden Figures). The film ask the question is how tough it is to be a man, then
a black man and on top of that being a gay black man.
HIDDEN FIGURES-2017
HISTORICAL DRAMA
PLOT:
The true story of three African American women who assisted NASA with
the space missions in the 60s.
All
the science ladies Katherine G Johnson (Tarji Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia
Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monae) are brilliant mathematicians who help
NASA get astronaut John Glenn into space.
It is a feel good movie with black women in the leads overcoming racism
and sexism. It is also a chick flick,
true story with lots of humor and heart.
The movie is worth watching to see African American women than the usual
stereotypes and all the acting is very, very good.
