nedrifleWord from who?
"Since it is derived from real history, the Woman King story is more complex than a simple hero’s tale — and the accuracy of the film has been a subject of speculation even before its first public screening. In mid-August, The 1619 Project author Nikole Hannah-Jones tweeted, “It will be interesting to see how a movie that seems to glorify the all-female military unit of the Dahomey deals with the fact that this kingdom derived its wealth from capturing Africans for the trans-Atlantic slave trade.” The film does tackle that subject — Davis’ Nanisca objects to her king’s practice of selling war prisoners into slavery, and advocates for a different policy. “When I came aboard, those were some of the first conversations,” Prince-Bythewood says, of the depiction of the slave trade. “But it was, ‘We’re going to tell the truth. We’re not going to shy away from anything.’ But also we’re telling a part of the story which is about overcoming and fighting for what’s right. And I think we got it right.”

I swear I never knew so many people knew or gave a s*** about African history before this movie. I wonder why

Sounds like conjecture to me. Lupita drops out of projects all the time, see 'Americanah' and 'Lady in the Lake'

Sep 15, 2022·1 replyI’m really glad the high ratings aren’t because of what racists want it to be (political bs, not wanting to get cancelled, etc) and it’s actually cause this is a great movie. The action is great, everyone is acting their asses off, and it’s so much more fun than you’d expect. I just can’t see how someone would come out of this not having a great time. If you’re on the fence do yourself a favor and see it
