Whether
you're a comic fan or not, you're bound to have seen posters or social media
posts about Marvel's newest blockbuster(大片), Black Panther. Black Panther was first created in 1966 by Stan Lee
and Jack Kirby and was transformed into a film this year. The story follows T'Challa,
a man living in a fictional African nation named Wakanda. Black Panther is the first non-white superhero to have his own
film, making this a milestone movie.
But
what makes this film different from all the other Marvel films? Take a look at
the cast list and you'll find that the majority are black actors and actresses.
Sure, black people have been in movies but look at the roles they play and you'll
find that they are often cast as the criminals, slaves or poverty-stricken
individuals. Not this one!
The
film also takes a step forward in representation, as black children can now
look up and see themselves and their stories represented in media where they
couldn't before. For too long, a large portion of our population has been
under-represented in media, that group of people being those who are not white.
So it's refreshing and about time to have a film which celebrates Africa
positively and adequately!
Michelle
Obama, the former first lady phrased it beautifully when she tweeted, "I
loved this movie and I know it will inspire people of all backgrounds to dig
deep and find the courage to be heroes of their own stories. Thank you, the
entire Black Panther team! Because of
you, young people will finally see superheroes that look like them on the big
screen." Her post has been shared more than 140,000 times.
The
film has become a hit. It has already broken records, having earned more that $607 million in the
United States only since its release in Februry. In the following days,
observers expect Black Panther will
pass The Avengers as the
highest-earning superhero film in history.
