Notes: Ryan Coogler certainly pulled it off one more time and I would go even further by saying that it might be his best directorial effort so far. Indeed, within a few mins, I had the feeling that I was transported in this time and place. He also managed to give this community such a strong identity showing their strength and weakness and, in spite of the oppression and the rather hopelessness of their situation, these characters were still laughing, making love, playing music, dancing, while surviving in a dangerous world where the dice were loaded against them from the start. It was seriously equally fascinating and heartbreaking at the same time. Of course, to have Michael B. Jordan playing a set of twins made the whole thing even more awesome than it already was. Eventually, I wouldn’t mind watching a whole series of movies focusing on these twins as they apparently went through so many things during their lives. So, it was really closed to become a masterpiece but, unfortunately, I didn’t care much about the vampire stuff, I’m afraid. I’m not saying that it was a bad idea, it just that it didn’t jive with me. Take for example ’12 Years a Slave’, another classic depicting the hardships faced by the black folks in the USA, would it have been an improvement if they would have added some vampires, werewolves or zombies to the mix? I really doubt it. 4 weeks ago
