Why even compare 12 years a slave, Moonlight and Get Out to Black Panther?
The thing about Black Panther is that it has a bigger budget then all of those movies combined, bigger marketing and is about a Superhero with a majority Black Cast OF COURSE PEOPLE ARE GOING INTO A FRENZY!
There is always a frenzy for Star Wars and MCU movies in general too.
That's what I thought all this craziness was about, that it's the first mass market high budget blockbuster superhero action film (which are the most popular movies atm) with a predominately black cast. It's not trying to be compared to 12 Years a Slave or Moonlight.
I listen to a podcast and the hosts are black they brought up how it’s not black suffering or about the struggle. Its seeing black people as heroes with a film that has black people in front and behind the camera.
I'm not black, but I can imagine that shit gets old after a while.
I am a Jew and I can tell you that I have zero interest in watching any more movies about Auschwitz. I've think I've seen enough of them for my lifetime.
