I Just Finished Watching Woman King And All I Can Say Is That The Movie Was A Gl by RTID: 12:02pm On Jun 15, 2023 |
I just finished watching Woman King and all I can say is that the movie was a glorified nonsense! Why do these people like portraying Africa in that manner? Like, what's with the stupid fake accent? If you must make a movie about the culture of a set of people, can't you at least do your research properly? The character that played the General of the Oyo army, you called him Oba? Oba is a title reserved for Kings. Now, the general wasn't a king obviously, because in the movie after losing the battle, the general told his warriors that they couldn't go home because they'd be killed. That's one. Two, so the Oyo people couldn't even speak an atom of Yoruba during the movie? Then, you claim they were Oyo people, but their warriors dressed like people from the North. Arghhhhh! There was this particular scene that made me shake my head. When the Brazilian spoke Brazilian to the Nahomey King, he was shunned immediately. The King asked him to speak the language of his people, since they were in his kingdom. Guess the language the king was communicating with? English.😂😂😂 The most annoying thing was the stupid accent they were using. Phewwww! These people take Africans for joke. Overall, the Woman King was nonsense. 15 Likes 1 Share |

you're right.. apart from that, they are all trying to glorify feminism bullshit... just to suit the Western narrative... it's what it is bro... just like she hulk, coming to America 2 bullshit.. that's the reality we have to face now... portraying men as weak simps and women as warriors... even the title is funny.. woman king lmao... while they have a king... 10 Likes |

It's high time, we start selling our story to the world through creative art works. Why do many Countries see Russia as a villain? Stories told over time become truth. 1 Like |

Reminderz: though normal movie ajasa had to be involved to make fight scenes extra interesting.. it was not totally a western ideology.....cos the dahomey actually had craźy brute female warriors during that time..... they also invaded the ęgbà s(abeokuta) during the dahomey reign.. .it was like an insult at the ègbà warriors that women came to their territory and showed them shègè for many hours even through the ęgbá warriors won eventually .... 2 Likes 1 Share |

Finally, someone has the same thoughts as me. I thought i was overthinking it, i couldn't even force myself to finish the movie. I mean how can you make a movie about someone history and culture and not try yourself to carry out proper research. This is not wakanda. It's about real people that existed in real life. The cultural misrepresentation was just frustrating, as a West African i could not even relate to the actors playing the oyo soldiers. There's nothing yoruba or African about the actors. From The dressing, the mannerisms, the language etc Hollywood is just using black Americans to make money by giving them some sense of belonging. In doing so, they're altering and disrespecting the cultures and history of others. The same thing is what netflix is doing withe Cleopatra by portraying her as a black women. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Tinububalls: On point! It's all about the campaign strategies, propaganda and social conditioning... Woman King is a movie with a purposeful intent. All the irregularities are meant to be there... Control the public narrative and control the masses... 1 Like |

There is no way you will depict women as warrior and it will be interesting. It must look fake 3 Likes |

RTID: Yeah partially poor research on them But their accent is real.. Those from east Africa like Kenya and those from Zambia also have that English accents... I know because i love watching documentaries from these other Africans country. you're used to Nigerian accent so others Africa country's English accents must be fake? |

This exactly what i keep saying. Those hoodrats African Americans should stop acting movies about africa. They always get the storyline and language wrong. They can't keep projecting Africa as a fairytale like Wakanda and the rest. |

Okay, I'm avoiding it. All you mentioned are the sort of things that trigger me when watching a historical piece. Reason I abandoned Netflix's Cleopatra. |

I ve not watched the movies but a General of the Oyo army is an Oba to outsiders, but to Oyo people is Aare Ona Kakanfo. He has the same ranking with the king. Except he is not allowed to live within Oyo town. 2 Likes |

Gang of Lagos is even worse in this aspect Femi Bakre dats supposed to act a Lagos thug speaking Yoruba like they just imported him from UK Even the theatrics look somehow especially the accident scene when he was supposedly PARAing for the girl and speaking Yoruba like a dumb person |

The real meaning and office of the Woman King was abused in the movie. A Woman King is a lady, crowned as the king because the late king has no son(s) to ascend the throne. But they made it a warrior instead. 1 Like |

crixlight2: Avatar 2 was a good movie. It's obvious you didn't watch the movie for long. I too nearly quit at the beginning because I felt they were just copying scenes from the part 1, but midway through it got interesting and I was hooked till the end. The action in part 2 especially towards the end, were way better than part 1. Watch it and see |

ArchiLimited: I was surprised too when he said Avatar 2 was boring. That movie has way better action than even Part 1. And to think Part 1 is, till date, my fav movie of all time. Although Avatar 2 spent almost too much time introducing us to the world of the water people, things started getting interesting quickly after the invasion. And, yes, I love the documentary-like scenes that dragged for over 40 minutes. I didn't regret it. The world was beautiful, and the creatures in it too,. especially in the water 1 Like |
