The movie isn't bigger than anything. It's literal propaganda to smother Black radical tradition and sanitize history.

Nigga he sound just like Fred

why is that the assumption lol the film is called Judas and the Black Messiah...Judas is a cowardly character who did what he did out of desperation, sefishness, greed, etc. I don't think it's going to paint him in a positive light and Hampton as the bad guy

I'm going based off the trailer and it doesn't look good. You could be right but I highly doubt it, as mentioned look who's backing the film.

i was initially excited for this because i thought the roadhouse productions or whatever was some indie s*** (i have no clue abut anything in the film industry), but yeaaaaa this needs to not be a thing

I feel him and all but nigga the movie not out lmao

it's going to treat the snitch as a human character sure...someone who's conflicted, has reasons for doing what he did, etc...I don't think it'll justify his betrayal or make Hampton out to be a bad guy...you can make arguments about the studio doing a film like this and that's valid but I just don't think it looks that bad...now if it turns out that's the case then by all means I'm wrong but looks like it's just gonna show how dude was pressured into betraying his leader similar to Judas and Jesus...something like that Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford film...from the trailer Plemons character (the fed) looks like the bad guy of the film with the snitch being conflicted but ultimately f***ing up and turning on Hampton I'm not sure where ppl are getting this idea that it looks like Hampton's going to be the bad guy or portrayed in a bad light

read this when its out, watch actual speeches fred gave, watch the doc about his assassination

read this speech

gofundme.com/f/SaveTheHamptonHouse50 donate to this if you can

its crazy to know that he was only 21 when he was murdered

Bullshit. This is history that needs to heard. Foh

you can learn the history in other ways

Fax. They won't allow an actual black radical film to be made. And I don't think the actors involved based on my limited knowledge are on that type of energy. Their going to work in a white people aren't all bad narrative in there somewhere for sure

Obvi but that’s irrelevant. This brings it to a higher scale.

Or you can actually go read and watch Fred Hampton instead of waiting for a Hollywood production to tell you about a staunch socialist?

And how many people in here would call Fred Hampton names for his politics anyways?

That’s the point

???

Exactly. I hate this s*** so much. so many dudes praising fred hampton but s*** on his ideology and what he preached daily

You’re telling me I can go research him on my own instead waiting for a movie but that’s the point of the movie is to visually tell the story. You edgy f***

People gonna go watch this movie and think they did activism

He wasn’t perfect but he had a vision

A vision you would be s***tinh on if he were alive rn

You think a Hollywood production tells 100% facts with no bias or framing in their favor

Oh honey lmao

Well neither of us have seen it so we shall see. But at least I’m not downplaying this movie like some degenerate

You dont have to argue in bad faith

Its fairly obvious hollywood is not going to accurately portray a communist revolutionary who was a member of an org who in the popular consciousness is looked at as cop killers

I’m not sit here act like I know everything about this man but he seemed like a man of the people and wanted to galvanize the minorities which I’m all for considering I’m Mexican and black
