Black Panther Thoughts


Last week, finally Black Panther was released into the world and I couldn't have been more excited which says a lot because I am not the biggest Marvel fan. However, as soon as I saw the trailer for this I was instantly like I have to see this which I finally did on Saturday. So here are some non-spoiler thoughts I has during the film.

  • Wakanda- This place looks beautiful from the moment we see it, I was completely in awe of it. It's literally a different world, the imagery of it is incredible, I want to visit if it was possible.

  • Rituals- The rituals in this film are fascinating and well executed by the cast. The thought that was put into it and the traditions that are held up from generation to generation is amazing. I couldn't do them that's for sure.

  • Tribe- The tribes in this film are one of my favourite things in this film. There's a part at the beginning which really highlights the tribe element and it is just incredible to see all these people live together but have differences.

  • Technology- The technology in this film is insane, to think we could one day be at this level of tech is crazy and would benefit a lot of people. What they have done in this film is so imaginative and looked amazing on screen.

  • Kilmonger- First things first, Michael B Jordan as Erik in this film is HOT I mean seriously. His character Erik really throws a lot of spanners in the works, some actions I didn't see coming what so ever and really twisted the story which I thought was really good.

  • Women- The women in this are amazingly badass, Shuri is a sassy little genius I want her as my friend, she is amazing. Nakia has the biggest heart and will fight for what she loves which is amazing. Okoye is not too be messed with at all, in a fight you want her on your side, she's incredibly loyal and I want her as my bodyguard.

  • T'Challa- I loved seeing him grow throughout this film and see him learn some very valuable life lessons that I think we all learn and how he changed because of this. He was a great lead character as he wasn't perfect even though he is the Black Panther but it shows even superheroes are flawed and that is ok.

  • Messages- I think everyone should see this film because I think the themes it highlights really apply to the world now. Such as yes something might be right but how the individual puts that across could make it wrong meaning the idea is now wrong because of this. Also, we need to band together and not fall apart. There are so many little messages that I think we need to be aware of.

  • Post credit scenes- There are two post credit scenes just to let you know because I had no idea. However, one scene I lost my shit but that's all I can say without spoiling.

I know this is a bit of an odd post but I thought I'd change up my style of review and put some random thoughts I had about the film. I adored this film so much, I urge everyone to see it. Nonetheless I hope you enjoyed this.

Until next time

Review- Everybody’s Talking About Jamie Tour

This weekend I went and watched the tour cast of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre. I’ve not seen this show before but it has been on my list for a long time. I’d only heard one or two songs before so I was going in with no ideas of what it was like and I found it very enjoyable. Background This is based on the true story of 16 year old Jamie New who dreams of being a drag queen as well as wearing a dress to his prom. Throughout the show we see Jamie go through a journey of self discovery which has so many highs and lows. Along the way we meet people who are and aren’t supportive of his dream and how much prejudice he has to contend with. The show first opened on the West End in 2017 and is currently on its second UK tour. Cast The cast of this show were fabulous, unfortunately didn't get to see Ivano Turco play Jamie, Finton Flynn was incredible in those red heels. He portrayed the emotion of playing Jamie perfectly as well showing the young silly ...

Wallace Collection: Inspiring Walt Disney

Earlier this month I booked tickets to see the new Inspiring Walt Disney exhibition at the Wallace Collection in London. This is about how French design inspired Walt Disney in his films especially Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast. The exhibition is located on the bottom floor of the building, and you can either pre book your slot or pay when you get there. There is also an optional digital tour guide and head set for free, which I did pick up but struggled with the headphones so ended up listening to bits I wanted to as opposed to the whole exhibition. I would recommend picking up one if you have time and you are really interested in the animation side, as they speak to the animators at Disney and how they produced the various ideas for the films. The exhibition starts with a quote from Walt Disney on the wall. It then goes into how Walt visited Europe for holidays and to gather visual references for his films. There was a black and white film of Walt and his family on holiday in P...

Review: Disney's Newsies

For my birthday my fiancé bought tickets to see Disney’s Newsies at the Troubadour Theatre in Wembley. This show opened in November and has just extended its run until 30th July. I wasn’t sure what to expect and I was blown away with what I saw. Background This musical is adapted from the 1992 Disney movie News Boys. Based on the true story of the Newsboys strike in 1899 in New York against the papers of Joseph Pulitzer after he put the prices of their bundles up. The original musical opened on Broadway in 2012 and was filmed live on stage in 2017 which you can watch on Disney +. This is the first time that UK audiences will be able to experience this new innovative production. Staging I didn’t know what to expect when I walked into the theatre and I was in awe of the staging. You have the main stage which has the metal structure but around the outside of the seating they had extra structures that the actors ran around and up and down to get around and back onto the stage. It has to be...
