  • Black Panther is now showing on the Steinberg Screen at the BAM Harvey Theater. To mark the opening, OkayAfrica's CEO, Abiola Oke, sat down with Black Panther director Ryan Coogler for a Q&A centered on the film's themes, cast, and cultural implications.
    Marvel Studios’ Black Panther follows T’Challa as he returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation of Wakanda to take his rightful place as king. When a powerful old enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king-and Black Panther-is tested. Ryan Coogler (Creed, Fruitvale Station) directs.

    Awesome that he mentioned Fish Tank. Its masterful. Un Prophete has always been a big influence on him and he's been very focal about that in the past. The very first seen in Creed in the juvenile detention centre, the boys are wearing the exact same prison outfit as the characters in Un Prophete.

      Smokey B, some people prefer Malcom X's method for black rights to MLK's method. To him Malcom X may be greater. We won't all belive the same person to be the most impactful in our lives.
      He's not ignorant of MLK, come on, he's well educated, he just prefers X. I believe in the movie 'Selma' it is shown that MLK tries to recruit Malcom but he tells him they don't do things the same way, it won't work, although they were after similar goals.

    I like Andrea Arnold a lot, but Fish Tank is one of her most overrated movies. The girl is excellent, as are damn near all the non-actors, but Fassbender clearly reverted to acting "techniques" and it was so artificial. The entire arc of where everything was going was so predictable. As pretentious as American Honey might be, it's artistically much better, as is her triumph Wuthering Heights.
