The comments :sevynstreeter:
It's been done to death
Let's look FORWARD more
Let's go to space where's there's a whole Wakanda planet filled with Black Kings and Queens and mess
We're sick of the overdone HISTORY
Can we use our imaginations and create futuristic/ forward thinking black art more?
Like, please
i actually enjoy the "slave movies" but it really depends
sometimes it can be too much and very triggering
but ultimately slavery is a part of our history and legacy as black americans
and these movies actually shed light on the evil and disgusting treatment that our ancestors faced at the hands of white people
jews would never want people to forget the holocaust and all of its graphic details. i kinda feel the same about movies that touch on slavery.
but again it REALLY depends on which one i'm watching . some are just too triggering/angering and super sad.
It really is exhausting.
I'm ready to see black people do shit in movies other than be slaves, civil rights activists, rappers, drug dealers, thugs, sports players etc.
But these are the only black stories Hollywood wants to tell.

And that's the real issue
boring
Yea it's like all blk ppl can do is go through the struggle, one up a cracker only to realize that they're still systematically oppressed

Or just give us something simple, as a group of blacks dealing with real life. Write about a black family and how they just deal with regular life struggles, just so sick of everything race related! We beg for years to get more blacks in the horror genre, it's finally movement, and guess what? It deals with race! That shit ain't entertaining anymore. I'm over it!
I'm sooo damn over it. Even that show THEM. I didnt watch but now this - I'm thru. Shows / movies like this once in a while, is cool. But its way too overdone now. Something like Lovecraft Country, I can mess with but chhh.
Yet another slave movie...

They act like it's so hard to write something new for the black audience. It's not at all, we only gotten the same 3/4 type of movies.

That's exactly what I said. It's good for a history lesson in one film per decade. I haven't even thought about watching Them, and I won't.
Them is nothing like the trailer portrays
Its a supernatural thriller.... just set in like the 60's

Have you seen Lovecraft County? If so, is anything like that?

In a sense
Thats more Fantasy IMO
THEM is a slight voodoo/religious/haunting mess
I dunno why they made the trailer that way, its misleading
Idk I'm still not interested. I didn't watch the LoveCountry either. I seen a sex scene on pornhub that confirmed that it wasn't for me. The whole voodoo/religion thing is a stereotypical trope for blacks in horror and supernatural films. Y'all probably never even noticed, but there's a character doing voodoo in the same horror film brandy survives.
why couldn't they do a supernatural thriller during another time period? Why the 60s? Cause they needed an excuse to bring up race?! Somehow race always come into play and that's just not Fantasy to me.

Us and Spell, even though it was voodoo themed, were set in modern times.

I fell asleep on Us twice I couldn't tell you much about it. Does Spell have racial undertones? Negative depictions? I haven't watched it. I'm all for us doing other genres, but imma need them to leave the racial stuff alone. As much as I like the movie Eve's Bayou I can't help but notice the negative depiction of the dark skinned black man.

I didn't notice any racial undertones.You will probably find some though.
And Samuel L Jackson was on a hot streak at the time.It had nothing to do with his skin tone.
