- BBC Radio 1Xtra speak to some of the stars from the film The Harder They Fall, including Jonathan Majors, Regina King & British director Jeymes Samuel
The Harder They Fall is an all-action Western movie with an all-black cast. To celebrate its release, 1Xtra held a special preview screening at the stunning Electric Cinema on Portabello Road, London, just around the corner from the Mozart Estate where Jeymes Samuel grew up!
Welcome to The Harder They Fall Q + A
i love the fact that reggae and rap was a part of the music in the show
Yes!! I just told my husband,I need that music soundtrack along with the movie lbvs
True dat. Rap was born from Jamaican yard (music). Delroy Lindo is Jamaican.
@@yvonneb3074wrong
Yes, love, love the soundtrack. The casting was great as well!
WRONG LET ME EDUCATE Y'ALL.
MUSIC TELLS HISTORY, REGGAE AND HIP HOP DIDN'T TELL THAT STORY. PLAY THE MUSIC OF THAT TIME
This movie brought a sense of pride, almost on par with Black Panther. WELL DONE AND CONGRATS TO ALL INVOLVED.
💯
Agreed!
Yup!!!
A sense of pride - Over a movie? You think black people didn’t exist in American history or something - or that we can’t craft a decent movie narrative? Read a book! It’s statements like that which make us appear invalid. It’s should be taken for granted that we always could; always had the potential- but just didn’t have the same chance. That this film offering here is a good piece of work is of course taken as a given- automatically and naturally so; not to be viewed as an exception. But still have a critical eye. Don’t be too proud over art - never act surprised because there’s a whole lot more history to be told. Expect no one else but US to tell it. And when we do - confidently take it in stride.
.
You gotta point bro
Regina still so damn gorgeous 😍
Guyyyy😩😩😩😩😩😩
I watched Harder they Fall twice. I love it as a woman who never liked westerns. My Dad also told me that yes there was Black cowboys, I am so happy the story is told. I would love to see another film like this.
WELL WE WERE THE FIRST COWBOYS. Y'ALL TO OLD NOT KNOW REAL HISTORY
Panama Ruby, thus the importance of BP teaching BK'S their history.
🤜🤛🫶🫶🫶🫶YES!
Love me some Regina K. Looking younger every time
Yo I felt both my brothers giving their respectful gaze , beautiful Queen . Honored
💖💖💖💖Gina!!
🍎 How 'bout that *_"TREACHEROUS" TRUDY SMITH_* (Regina King) story that she told as she was peeling that apple.....🍎😳😮
Ikr she's literally aging backwards to neck back lol.
Bruh!!! She still got it ❤️ 😛
This movie is classic. There's nothing like it out there.
@stryfetc1 To the untrained eye, maybe. Only that i's not like Django at all and that's what makes it fresh. 1. It's Black made 2. Not a slave in sight ( Thank God). 3. Black people in this do not need a white person to save them or to rally against. 4. the cinematography and photography in this has its own palette, using lights and colors like a comic book, giving the movie its own look. 5. The use of real historical figures never seen on film. I love Django but Django is its own thing. So is Posse...
@stryfetc1 Nat Love was a real person who was indeed born enslaved but again, the movie saves us from having to sit through that as it's not relevant to the story in the context of this movie. I love QT and Django Unchained ( Hateful Eights even better) for what it is. I'm just celebrating that The Harder they Fall stand as its own thing and doesn't need to be compared to Django as they don't have the same theme outside of the Black Cowboy trope.
@@mpeekay76 damn just wrote something similar to that, than checked and realized we wrote the same thing and deleted it. Was so happy to see these aspects in a film I’m tired of the white savior and slave or even chain gang. Wanted darker woman to match there male counterparts but it’s really a one of a time film right now.
@stryfetc1 👀 Posse🤷🏾♀️😂😂😂
EDUCATION 101
IMAGERY WAS TERRIBLE THOUGH
Regina was a beast in this movie, and Idris, they all were
Just bow down! The entire cast was completely brilliant and on point, but King Elba and Queen Regina graced us with their powerful presence and allowed us to bask in the glow of their superlative talent, and for that I whisper/shout/celebrate with thanksgivings. Loved it!
YES! YES! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This movie is absolutely first class! The acting, storyline, soundtrack is all working together to deliver a breathtaking cinema experience to share from the black perspective. I never would have thought that Posse, Tombstone and the Magnificent Seven would ever have a true rival until now! Please make another movie!!
WTF THOSE MOVIES MAYBE POSSE IS NOT ON TOMBSTONES
LEVEL. Y'ALL HAVE LOW EXPECTATIONS
@@jamalvines2133 you may want to learn a bit more about history, especially how it was skewed in Hollywood for multiple generations. Tombstone was just above average but that's personal perspective and opinion. My oldest brother loved it, I've never been able to stay awake watching it. But Dirty Harry and 3:10 Yuma is a different story. By Rotten Tomatoes standards and with far more reviews was consistently rating very good in comparison even by past critics standards. Both films are westerns but tbh not entirely comparable. Bloodsport and Back2The Future are both action movies but you wouldn't directly compare them, maybe TimeCop vs Back2The Future b/c both are action & sci-fi but one takes itself far more serious than the other. Tombstone is the equivalent of TimeCop and The Harder The Fall the equivalent of Back2The Future in that it's not taking itself that seriously.
Jonathan Majors could read me apple’s terms and conditions, and I would just sit there like 😍😍😍😩. He could star in a 3.5 hour documentary about the lifespan of a housefly and I would watch it on a loop. I’m so glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves.
Read out the whole damn dictionary for me 😩😮💨 whew that man
Love the cast of veterans mixed with new talented actors and actresses enjoyed to see a good black western
Johnathan is wearing the hat and drinking the cup he saw as his essentials lmao, is it weird that I remembered that? lol
Right! My first thought was hey it's the cup lol
I'm glad someone else noticed hahaha!
Nope! This man is in my dreams! Remembered the interview too 😂
He also drinks from that same cup in the movie!!!
I remembered too! 🤭
Regina King is a true black Queen. Movie was off the hook, great story line - Our people, our narrative, our stories - Love it - Thank you!
Jonathan is way too fine…he looks like he smells reallll good
Loooll
@@Laura-sg6ss he doessssss!
📽🤠💥🐎🎬
*_Jonathan Majors_* (Nat Love in *_'THE HARDER THEY FALL'_* ) is also in the Western *_'HOSTILES'_* starring Christian Bale.
Hhhmm... Timothée Chalamet ('Dune', 'The King', etc.) is also in that one...🤠📽💥🐎🎬
😉yep !
😂 Wasn't expecting that. But Yeah!
Just watched the movie last night. It was fire!!! Seeing Regina King(huey+Riley) just made me smile all through
I watched this movie 3 times in 1 day.
In 1 day wtf, I can’t do that shit
Why✅
I don’t blame you!
Regina outfit is all that. I think this is an amazing cast overall great. Can't wait to watch it 😍
Regina is a beautiful queen 😍
She's a King, actually. A beautiful King :)
This movie was everything we needed! Ugh there’s so much to say this movie was badass from the first 3 mins! So proud of everyone involved 🙌🏼❤️🙏🏼
Just watched this movie and upset that it took me a whole year after it came out to watch it (because I didn’t know it was out) and I have to say bravo I love this movie like I loved Black Panther it gave me all those overwhelming feelings all over again. I’ve watched it a total of 4 times in one day and still not sick of it
I just watched it last night and fell in love with it 😩 This makes me like westerns and want to see more with this story
YES! Same here im hurt!❤️🩹
Jonathan Majors🤩 loving the characters you are taking on and hearing him in the interviews makes me admire his craftsmanship even more~
Trudy and Mary’s fight was very well choreographed and they did a great job.
Jonathan is a true thespian.
they all are
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!
This movie was so meaningful. As a kid I grew up watching Westerns with my granddaddy. I always wondered why we were never there. I pray he is smiling from heaven. I just wish he was here to see it.
This film is... SOOO MUCH 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you to every soul that contributed ❣️🤗🤗
The Harder They Fall is the movie of the year.
I loved this western from start to finish! Great story, and super stylish!!
Sooooo freakin good!!! Jonathan 😍 Regina!! But also them damn BOOTS!!! And Jeymes🙌🏾Amazing talent and FEARLESS!
Watched the movie, seeing the interview now gotta go watch it again cause it’s just that good!
I'm with u!😆😁
Jonathan Majors, has IT... I look forward to seeing his body of work going forward. This movie has so much depth and the energy was wickedly appealing. I have watched this movie multiple times in the past few days. Thank you all for pulling this together. This movie was wonderful!
This film was AWESOME! I enjoyed all the characters.
Yes, give credit to the American Black Cowboy!!!!
*Cuffee:* *_"I RATHER RIDE INTO A GUN BATTLE ON A DARK HORSE, over a golden stallion."_*

😳🎯🚷
hahahahahahlolol : I cried with laugh when she said that. REAL TALK
There were several BOSS lines in this movie. Loved it.
Remember back in 2018, when _Stagecoach Mary_ (Zazie Beetz), _Cuffee_ (Danielle Deadwyler), and _Cherokee Bill_ (LaKeith Stanfield) went to Drake's mansion for a party ?

Well written, right?❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I loved this movie, stellar all black cast, songs that sounded like reggae music I grew up listening to in the 90's to 00'. Great story and perfectly executed, tasteful action.
For those who don't know "The Lone Ranger" series was based off of "Bass Reeves", played by Delroy Lindo. Bass Reeves was an American law enforcement officer. He was the first black deputy U.S. marshal west of the Mississippi River.
I love how she doesn't play into the question about her being a woman and "it's importance". She was a great actor period in an awesome role, not a great "female actor" virtue signaling in place of doing a good job at the role. Thank you Regina, you were the best part of that movie.
And seems like they are setting her up as the next villain too. Im excited for it.
I have been looking forward to this movie since the first clip!!!
📽 Seen the movie in a theater...(⭐⭐⭐⭐👍🏼fun/entertaining ride!🐎)
Jeymes Samuel, Sean Bobbitt, Boaz Yakin, and Mihai Mălaimare Jr. find ways to successfully weave in fresh ideas in 2021 _(and the cast does not let audiences down)_ . 📽🤠💥🎶🐎🎬
This is a fawking good western flix that I've seen a good long while. It was dope.
This dialogue was so rich and deep. This added so much to something already magnificent. Thank you for the powerful interview!
Watched it twice and will be watching it again 🙌🏾 BEST MOVIE, I've seen in a long time. So proud of everyone in it and I loved everything about it...Acting, writing, directing, cast and especially the MUSIC!!!👍🏾
Mr. Jonathan Majors is a deep thinking beautiful black man!
Oh man i almost cried when Jaymes said he still sits his dad's friends down to have them tell him stories of his dad. I dont cry often, but that shit hit kinda different.
This movie deserves more attention it fun , intising damn good western. And the soundtrack... This guys made the assignment
After this interview I watched the movie again. This was a beautifully written hueman huemane movie written by a wonderful hueman huemane man. We are a wonderful and beautiful hueman huemane people.
The best part of the movie was the very end for me. Before that I was going crazy and everyone was amazing. We do need more of our people writing our story showing our strength and our hueman huemanity.
This film was the most powerful and welcome ritual. The ancestral reverence and celebration of Blackness was fulfilling and I couldn't ask for more in a film.
Go see it, you will not be disappointed. No cap it's the best movie out.
I've seen Bond twice. I have the entire Daniel Craig set in my car, that's how much of a fan I am of Bond movies. Had a GoldenEye Z4. This movie is better.
Seen Shang Chi which is by far the most beautiful Marvel film next to Black Panther and Guardians of the Galaxy. This film is that good if not better.
I saw Dune and for a long film I stayed awake the entire time and thought it was good and definitely needs a sequel. This is definitely better though, not saying Dune is bad but Dune was missing that Mad Max gripping feel like when the War Rig was stuck and all went blue.
Better than The Last Duel which is probably at the bottom for current movies out. It's not bad but it's boring asf.
Venom is literally my favorite Marvel character and Tom Hardy is one of my top 10 favorite actors. Loved him in Locke and love the fact they don't hold back in Venom. Even the actress playing Scream, Naomie Harris who does great as Money Penny and loved that movie Ninja Assassin (better than Snake Eyes btw).
This movie reminded me of Bunraku with Woody Harrelson in more an artistic way. It's more on the lines of 3:10 Yuma crossed with Kill Bill and The Warrior's Way but with strong messages if you can follow them.
I wouldn't be surprised if it gets a low rating by critics because, it doesn't speak their language, it'll rub them the wrong way, theirs not a bunch of empty tears and it's definitely heavy on action but not over the top. There's many moments where you can't predict what will happen next and it has a great twist and cliff hanger.
There's nuances to look out for. But it seems to me action movies automatically get deducted 3 stars regardless so I don't believe critics.
I literally was on the edge of my seat, that never happens.
Bond is beneath Casino Royale, Skyfall and if I'm being fare it's beneath Spectre. The second time I went to see it I fell asleep several times. I've seen the others over 10x and never fallen asleep including Quantum of Solace which is underrated, it's a true classic style Bond film even inspiring scenes in John Wick 3.
I thought it was a 10/10 but if I'm putting it next to Revenant, Tenet, Inception, Die Hard, Black Panther, Fight Club, The Matrix, Blade Runner, Saving Private Ryan, Django, Gladiator, Troy, Red Cliff, and other great films I've enjoyed like Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. It's a movie that scores very high in my book. A solid 7, low 8. But for entertainment value and emotional/psychological connection 10/10
Thank you for this 🤎
📽 Seen the movie, Oct.23, in a theater...(⭐⭐⭐⭐👍🏼fun/entertaining ride!🐎)

Thanks but no Dunne for me too predictable too long . Hope #2 is better
I want to start a movie club with you Friend 😂
Better than Dune? You’re high
At 22:16 they begin to speak about Trudy and Buck, honestly I love that scene! For me it represented black love truly, Trudy and Buck were together for a long time and Bill was apart of that connection as as a friend of these. Was represented as Buck laying his head on Trudy & Bill’s shoulder with such tenderness by all actors was tremendous! I loved that because that’s how we are, it can be seen as indifference but really there is love and protection there. Unspoken, real and powerful!
Such an enjoyable movie, loved the characters, great soundtrack, will probably rewatch it soon.
I love the Director James Confidence…. Phenomenal movie 🎥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of the best movies I ever saw.. ❤ 💗
This ranks right up there with the best Western Movies ever made. The entire cast and crew gets an A+. I hope there is a follow up to this movie!
I don’t think there will be because everyone was killed off apart from Nate and his woman and the older guy and the girl/ boy
I like Jonathan Majors. Such a fresh of breath air for the industry! Same for Jeymes...this guy is just...special. And that beautiful Regina King. SHE.IS.A.LEGEND!!
Greatness runs through our veins#MelaninKingsQueens. We are the stories only we can tell our stories. Can't wait un anyone to tell our stories. Can't wait to see this film big up all the cast actors and director. 👑👑👑👑🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hats off to you, James Samuel! Bravo! The duality. What timing! Every bit of this movie was down right PERFECTION! Thank You!
I'll say this, imagine in America at least 80% of the black population, experienced this film in their own parallel reality especially black men.
So I wrote my last comment before listening to Johnathan speak around the 12min, 13min mark wow. That's the nuance in that film that I saw and felt too without him having to explain it.
Like I saw that painting (it's there and it definitely has meaning). Maaaan the shit I'm dealing with right now with my own father, trying, struggling, to find forgiveness for this man whom I never felt any sort of anger, resentment, hate, malice or pain my entire life up until I was able to catalog my thoughts and piece fleeting moments together finding truth from one of my brother's and beyond.
Let me tell you this film is a reflection of my own life and probably many other brothers like me. So again I don't expect critics to understand the seriousness in this film, the message whew 😥. They haven't lived it, so I expect when I read their reviews they stay well on the surface. Oh it was a action western with comedy bits and this and that 🤦🏾♂️ this one in a way ain't for everybody.
Ah
I agree that it isn't for everyone because I watched it three times but still didn't quite get it or feel like the way I see most people feel about it. I love your review and comparison to your life, thanks for sharing
@@Rhenadhis it's not real, it's blaxploitation, it's entertainment, it's an elaborate joke.
You don't have to watch what I'm going to link below. In 2020, 200 rapper's died, mostly black, mostly to violence or drugs, young and old.
The false front architecture which was real in history still exist today in parts of the world, but it's the parallel of entertainment media and social media fantasy as the false front architecture.
The story told is the story written of today's troubled black youth and the turmoil of people in established society primarily from the black lens. You could say Django is told from another lens and well, Birth of a Nation told from a very very dark lens.
I live it, I see it clearly. I understand speaking in code, seeing signals, gesture's day to day. Going into town to make an offer and not leaving in one piece. The ending used, was in a way to show how to heal but women today just want more. We don't ride off into the sunset, we bury each other, tit for tat.
Meek Mill had an explanation when Jay-Z questioned his bulletproof SUV. He called it black-itest.
The Great Gatsby, is in a way the white lens. Wall Street...
There's a guy in an interview who explained something about the mind, his name was Bruce Lipton. He was explaining the book Rich Dad Poor Dad. The reason most won't get this film sorta.
He was saying how things are instilled into people, children specifically and those things allow a level of unconscious thinking and behavior. Look that up Bruce Lipton Rich Dad Poor Dad (1min clip).
You don't have to watch this video it's depressing for anyone. But here's the link. One of these guys was just a rapper from like Puerto Rico or something. He was kidnapped, beaten, tortured and unrecognizable when found, all b/c two men believed the illusion. They went back to his home a day or two later and robbed it of a few pieces of gold and pocket change, when they thought they'd find millions or billions. That happened last year.
200 Rappers gone in 2020

@@Rhenadhis One of the best ways to watch this type of movie is to quiet your thoughts and watch alone without interruption.
@@Rhenadhis Also listen to "Tupac (feat 50Cent) - The Realist Killaz". Just Tupac verse, close your eyes and visualize "The Harder They Fall" that may help. You may need to replay it.
Kudos to his makeup artist making his scar realistic, they showed close ups of it throughout the movie. You would have sworn he had that scare on his f:;;;::;;d for real! Amazing! I gave other character reviews on Jimmy’s Kimmel’s comments section.
I haven't re-watched a movie by choice since I was child.... until NOW! This movie was amazing! Def had to give it a second watch. SN: I loved all the Easter eggs!
Jeymes Samuel nailed the ending of this interview.
The film is awe inspiring, really literally awe inspiring, the cast the story telling the dialogue everything was 👌🏾👌🏾 I would have loved for this Q&A to have been hosted by hosts with a bit more range or at least better questions to have been thought out in advance. There was so much left wanting in this Q&A.
Such an incredible movie 🍿! It grows on you! First scene was shocking! Last scene was masterful!
The best movie I've seen in a long time. Need more need more.
I didn’t want any spoilers before I saw the movie … but this Q&A was everything! I can’t wait to watch it tonight💕 Thank you BBC Radio 1 Xtra,you have a new subscriber! Ase💕
I have watched this film just about every day since I first saw it. Days I don't watch it it's because I'm too busy. lol GREAT MOVIE!
I love this movie! I've watched it twice in two days already ❤ Beautifully directed by Jeymes and the cast were perfection!!
Great film! My family and I enjoyed it together. OUTSTANDING !
I've watched the movie twice already! It's that good. May watch it again tonight.

📽🤠💥🐎🎬
*_Jonathan Majors_* (Nat Love in *_'THE HARDER THEY FALL'_* ) is also in the Western *_'HOSTILES'_* starring Christian Bale.
Hhhmm... _Timothée Chalamet_ ('Dune', 'The King', etc.) is also in that one...🤠📽💥🐎🎬
I've already watched this movie 8 times, I just can't get enough I've even downloaded the sound track.
The movie was outstanding 👏 👌. The acting was awesome. Music unusually fit the western culture. Love that you see the characters for themselves.
Didn't like western movies when I was growing up and I was raised in the 70s, but this western had soul in it.
People don't realize that the title cowboys was given to black men who took care of the cattle.
They all should receive an Emmy award.
I am enjoying this movie. Soundtrack n' all.
Jimmy is a legend . I play this tune every Morning ♥️
I watched last Friday interesting from beginning to the end. Alot of laughs too.
Thank you to the screenwriter, producer director, actors everyone involved even the caters their helpers for bringing our true stories alive which they don't teach our children in school. We can learn on screen. I love this more. Bring us more please. ✊💜✊
Regina looks great!💃🏽Jonathan looked in love😂😭
I have to say that i love this movie, all, all the actress and actors did a great job ,the music awesome 👌 👏 👍 keep doing what all you ladys and guys are doing.
Saw this film one word#EPIC
Listen...11:38 is fu**ing powerful! Sheesh Johnathan Majors 🔥
Please let us follow this story through every generation- i mean,,, was there ever a western before this!? There is NOTHING LIKE IT. This is so much more. Brilliant, beautiful, and truly exciting… and so fun to watch. Every frame. I wondered who the portrait was of… thank you for sharing that sacred experience with us. Truly holy.

This movie was good from beginning to end. I need a sequel. Regina telling that story about the sister was ruthless😂.
Keynes Samuel is genius. John Majors is a sexy brother and a cold ass actor! Thank you John!
I heard a Yoruba song in this movie and i was proud....
Tell us what it was or where about it was if we arent familiar with Yoruba
I think it's from Abami Eda.....in the ad promo and I think the final scenes maybe
