Slim’s red sweat suit and Queen’s animal print dress with that cut are iconic now...
and the snakeskin boots 💣
Shanieh Howard yesssss
Yes
Yass!
Yasssssss!
“the idea of respecting ourselves is disrespectful to white people.” read that again. love these people and what this movie stands for.
Your an idiot
Bingo. People hate to admit it yet their actions says otherwise.
Right
The Idea of respecting yourself period...is disrespectful. That's how I think the movie contributes to the larger narrative of how they try to separate us all by teaching us that we need to follow what other people say, and not our gut.
@Jamal Al-Uqdah What's your point? Melina Matsoukas is half Greek/White.
When he (Slim/Earnest) said "I would've kissed your scars", I did the ugly cry at the movies.
Notavegan Vegan me too! 😩😭
It almost had me toooooooooo omg
Started wailing 😭😭😭. Nose bubbles and everything lmao
That line keeps replaying in my head over and over again. I still wanna cry when I think about it 😭
I cried right after that whole scene when their picture started showing up everywhere, at the funeral, and when all of the people that helped them on their journey saw what happened.... and I got a little emotional when that one police officer helped them
I want a man to love me so deeply, I’m not to afraid to show him my ugly. 🙌🏿
Lmao who hurt you Ron?💀💀💀 there are plenty of great women
william carter thank you for the reply. I’m married and found the one to do this, he loves me deeply, and I did have to go through about 2-3 frogs...but God! Lol I just loved the quote from the movie.
That line in the movie. Yes
@@ronwilson6889 STOP TROLLING FOR CONFLICT. IDIOT!
@@MRAAng-on2jg Sis, don't justify anything to a troll. You can't fix him. It is just wasted moments of your valuable time.
Me and my family went to the movie, left the theater at 12, and as soon as we got home, had a 2 hour discussion on just the first 15 minutes. This film is powerful!!
We're you in Florida? Cause that's when I got out and I saw a bunch of ppl
I wish I had someone to have this deep of a conversation with! This movie moved me so much
Thanks for sharing, I'm definitely seeing
Powerful lol
Marcus Cuffee same! I couldn’t stop talking about it .
I went to the theater alone to see this movie (Yes, I'm a loner). There were only four ppl in attendance, five including myself. 5 black ppl sat in a dark movie theatre, completely void of outside sound/noise, anticipating the characters next move until their demise. 5 ppl remained seated after the credits were shown, and although I'm not sure why we all remained seated, I believe it was bc we all had to digest a film so brutally honest that it was mentally draining and emotionally painful. This is our truth. This is our pain. I'm going back to see it again. #queen&slim
PPP121226 yup my theatre had 5 people
@@loveafrica97 I hope you enjoyed the film, Anna. :-)
@@loveafrica97 Also, I live in a PWA (predominantly White area), so I was happy to see the five AF-AMs that supported the film.
Facts I sat there crying I had to digest this movie . My theatre had more white people surprisingly more than black .
@@Thrivegrl24 This movie was definitely the most poignant film I've watched in years.
I live in a PWA, so I expected to see more Whites there.
The young lady that plays Queen is so incredibly gorgeous!!
I saw Queen and Slim yesterday and it was just beautiful, sad, moving ... words cannot even describe. I'm going to need to see it again.
i finna watch it too, i am a sad person this month so i really my fill.
Yes, I think I'm going by myself this time.
Michele Matthews you took the words out of my head.
Jodie is a star she reminds me of Naomi Campbell just beautiful. She gave a beautiful debut performance. Those scenes of her and Daniel in the club dancing and the cinematography in the film was just gorgeous. Daniel throughout the entire movie was outstanding but the final scene of the movie. He did so much acting with his eyes was so Oscar worthy. I was really blown away by the film.
Jeremy Wyche yes, his eyes told a story beyond the film. It was beautiful
Yes😫😫 Those eyes
Jeremy Wyche But in reality she is not on our team in reality she loves the white man!
Right!
Michael B. Jordan does not bat for our team, Jamie Fox does not bat for our team, the male actor in this movie is a Colorist and is with a non black woman, he does not bat for our team. And the list goes on. Why are you only mentioning the Jodie?!?! Are you one of those Hate to See A Black Woman happy and in love types?!?!
I saw this film last night. It was outstanding.
Ditto😀
Agreed
ThePinkWolf_Roya Same here, well put together film.
ThePinkWolf_Roya really i cant wait to see it
Definitely agree. I want to go see it again.
The ending was so powerful! The tears just rolled down my face. #queennslim
Same here
Same was crying hella hard
I was crying so bad at the airport / plane scene! "LET ME BE YOUR LEGACY" ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
I didn't know that Jodie is also British. She and Daniel played the hell out of these characters. I told a friend that I don't think I've ever seen Blackness portrayed so beautifully on screen before. Another friend told me that the film "is lush with Blackness."
strongforu right
strongforu I loveeeeeee it. The blackness portrayed!!!!!! Yes. It was everything 😩
That is down to the director and her choice of takes or colours or hues to capture!
Lush is so trueee
strongforu Jodie lived here inMD for years
Jodie is so beautiful she could play grace jones!
I was thinking the same exact thing.
Hummmm! I was thinking Naomi Campbell
Alexis Martin I was thinking that too😍
Alexis Martin o gosh I said that
Yes!!! i was thinking the same thing. I wouldn't be surprised if she plays her.
I loved this film. The cinematography is so beautiful. I want to watch it again without sound and soak up the visuals. This movie 🎥 is a classic that people will be talking about 30 years from now. Our Black skin is beautiful.
Kevin Bridgewater Agreed. I’d also just listen to the audio of the whole movie. Loved the soundtrack and the writing was beautiful
How is Dee Dee doing these days.
@Win From Within I'm Black! 💪🏿
11:51 when Daniel talked about black male privilege, that was so real and absolutely true. This man is wise beyond his years.
Ashley Akakpo I’m saying !!!!!!
That conversation isn’t gonna come about for lil while whew !
Ashley Akakpo that definitely was a surprise, a good one that he brought to the attention of guys & women
I love how in here, Jodie is wearing a snake skin blazer and Daniel a red suit in reference of their actual Queen&Slim outfits 😍
One of my favorite movies of the year. Those characters felt like real people.
Yesss I got very attached to their characters!
D B yes!
This movie IS one of the BEST movies I've ever seen in my entire 33 years of existing. I'm from South Central LA and you feel connected to the story from my own experiences. The movie deals with the times we live in and what African Americans go throw on an everyday basis with police brutality...if you're scared of Black people don't become a cop. It's REAL RAW AND GRITTY... IT'S JUST BLACK. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Absolutely amazing. I cried cried and cried. I’ve never felt anything like this in a movie. I was completely captivated and feel as though I caught everything they were trying to present. Great job.
Have u seen when they see us. U will cry some more.
I saw this film today. It rocked me to the core of my bones. It is excellent on so many levels. I laughed too many times to count and literally cried (I’m not a crier). It felt amazing to see black love appear and deepen beyond the ordinary pigeon hole. The beautiful landscapes, the music, the depth and layers of meaning, the metaphors, the reverence of black life and love, twists and turns, hope ... I’m f-ing shook.
Much respect to Daniel for his chain. He’s proud to be from the Pearl of Africa, 256 pakalast. 🇺🇬🇺🇬✊
Bauhouse Designers UG what’s the story behind his chain?
He should do movies in palakast
Yudah El 👍🏾👍🏾I know he will. I hope Uganda is ready to support him
T. Wyndero Griffin It’s the map of Uganda, the Pearl of Africa
he rep'ing 256 hard!! big up Ssebo muzukulu :). i need that neckchain soonest!!
It's been awhile since I have seen a movie that I can't stop thinking about. They dug so deep into our consciousness as black people and tapped into a world in which we know to be our unfortunately reality. Yeah this movie is one for the ages.
How do British people put on American accents. I can’t fake another person’s accent lol. This guy is good.
Honest000w exactly wtf
😂😂😂
If u practice u can
him not being from America is Irrelevant. What is relevant is that the black experience is very similar despite what country we live in . Black people across the world share some of the very same traumatic experiences in regards to racism .
Run Gunn because blacks are talented from any country why just keep in america? We’re universal race
It's great to see so many dark skinned people getting their long overdue spotlight.
I'm gonna let this marinate a little and think about this rationally before I go off, because you could've meant well but you almost went left real quick!
Exactly!
That 25 minute conversation felt like 10 minutes, just amazing,... young, black and gifted for real
Next year for Halloween me and my boyfriend are gonna be them 😆 this movie was so good. They are iconic now..
Zoyà Paris I wanna be Queen but I gotta find a Slim🤣🥴😔
COVID-19 done fucked up everyone's Halloween.
I hope you and your boyfriend still got to be Queen and Slim though.
Queen is so fine!!!
TO BAD SJE IS BRITISH NOT AFRICAN AMERICAN
Gerald Warren she really is fly as fuck!
WD shut...thefckup
@@wd1817 Why too bad? She is black! We can't continue dividing ourselves on BS. Her parents immigrated to England. Her parents were born just off the coast of USA in Jamaica.
@Shut Up Before I Ankle Pick You is she married to him or are they just dating? I 👀 no issue either way.
Lol the irony of her saying she saw Get Out 4x at the theatre. Girl same. Now I’m going back to watch Queen & Slim again. That’s how you know a movie is truly good
I've seen it twice already
If it wasn’t for these interviews we wouldn’t even know homeboy was a Brit so y’all can chill with the black Brit vs black American experience. Daniel did what needed to be done which was giving this story and this character life
The point is that many Americans are losing roles to foreigners because there's been an anti-America bias in Hollywood this decade; far-left politics have infiltrated the industry. And for African-Americans, who have always fought/struggled to land plum roles, it is a disgrace to see foreigners taking their roles and telling their stories. Other countries protect their own homegrown actors, but SAG-AFTRA (TV/film) has been doing a lousy job in the US. One thing I'll say for Actor's Equity (theater), they do a better job at protecting American actors.
kandy reed I love him idc
Just call me NO CHILL GIL then... African Americans can't AFFORD all these L's we constantly take.... nope, no chill at all....
Girl alot ppl been knew he was a Brit, where you been must've been hiding under a rock 🙄🙄🙄🙄
It aint' for you to tell people what to do. Our roles are just that! Our roles. Quit siphoning off of AAs.
Her short hair brings out her beauty I love it
AMAZING FILM!!! Melina never disappoints and Lena is simply outstanding. Daniel and Jodie killed it!!!
The PTSD of police violence is a real thing and I admit I'm scared to death to see this movie right now; I feel compelled to experience it but not sure I want to be vulnerable in a theatre, or during this presidency.
Lol ok
I was afraid to watch it too. You'll be ok, I guess. :-\
It's been a week and I am still under the spell of the movie. These sexy queens and this king are everything.
This lady “oh he’s a n*gga” I’m deaddd
Lol I’m dead
He looked like he didn't like that comment lol
cmock810 I peeped that too
I hated that
Elyse George she means he’s not Hollywood. He’s down to earth.
i NEVERRRR cry during movies but y’all hit to HARD at the end 😭😭!!
Wow! "The idea of Respecting Yourself is disrespectful to white ppl" ... Go'on, let that sink in ...
White people feel disrespected because people of other races respect themselves?? That is literally some of the dumbest shit I ever heard.... having self pity can be a hell of thing and it shows.
Yvonne Perez it ain’t self pity, it’s lived experience. We have the right to talk about our experience and not allow other people to dictate how we feel and tell us how it really was... cause we know. We know.
This film is PHENOMENAL. So many layers, so many emotions. I’ll go and see it again in time. Thank you all for creating this masterpiece.
Black is Black all across the globe until we love our brother and sister we will fall.
Thrse black immagrants don't have respect for Foundational Black Americans.
@Ewarton Charlton I have no love for black immagrants because once they get over they piss on black from America.I don't support Gay Lena's lack luster work.
AMEN
In The Mix Radio SOME don’t have respect. Don’t generalize.
In The Mix Radio uuughhh you are such a crab 🦀🦀🦀
Queen is beautiful!
Dogg they’re both British!!? I just loveeee these accents❤️😻. This was my favorite film all year. I have such a connection to Queen. This script. This production. At all angles it was such a masterpiece. ✨
I took my kids to see the movie yesterday and my 8 year old cried. He never cry’s, so you know he felt the pain of being a black man for real. We all cried, but to see him cry 😢 it don’t get much realer then that. I ordered 2 posters today for Queen and Slim, please keep up the good work.
Lol
Cherry Cherry Did you block his eyes for that sex scene tho?.👀👀👀👀
Michael Carroll What in the how to catch a predator kind of mess are you on?
Cherry Cherry that’s not a crazy question. Why would you bring an 8 year old to an R rated film?
Green Hornet because it’s not illegal. I’m pretty sure if your daddy was around to raise you it’s possible you heard your parents at night.
I loveeee Daniel’s American accent.
Queen and Slim- EXCELLENT! Even the soundtrack was LIT!🔥🔥
昨天晚上看了, 今年的最佳影片終於出現. 一部詩意一般的電影.導演的克制, 讓這個故事回歸到人的本身, 悲天憫人, 感人至深. 最佳影片, 最佳導演, 最佳編劇, 最佳整體演出. I watched it last night, this year's best film finally appeared, a poetic film. The director's restraint lets this story return to human beings, very compassionate and touching. The best director, the best screen play, the best performance by a cast.
That was amazing. Daniel is a deep dude. I'm going to have to pay more attention to him. And Molina, whoa! I'm loving the minds on this. #blackprivilege
#blackMALEprivilege run it back
What I love about this film is that it kept me in the present. I wasn't so connected with the characters that I wanted to be them, and wasn't so disconnected that I wasn't able to connect. I was present for every single scene interpreting what was. Phenomenal phenomenal work!
I LOVE THE RAWNESS OF THIS ROUND TABLE DISCUSSION!!!!
10/10 it was beautiful.
This movie was thee best. It brought so many emotions out. I can't stop thinking about it.
He has the nicest butt....that in car scene I was like 👀👀👀
Ikr! It was 🔥🔥😜
Bae Tea right? Soo damn thic
Bae Tea ☕️
fr !
We definitely need more films from Lena & Melina✊🏾💯
Loved it.
My only gripe was the kid and riot cop part.
Rich Ə Wrych SAME
I wondered about that, too. I guess it can be interpreted in a number of ways. But that's what art is supposed to do. Make you think and question.
jayson biggs it was definitely powerful but was more traumatic than the actual story...
Didnt like the setup @ the end...i ws sooooooooo 😲 sad i thought they were goin to get away😔
I just went to see this movie in a smoothie is remarkable it will stay with me for some time to come I hope they win Oscars. Their performance was BEYOND AWESOME! Wonderful Script & Direction as well!!
What an amazing, thought-provoking movie. I was blown away! My best friend and I had a conversation for about two hours after we viewed it. Jodie Turner-Smith and Daniel Kaluuya did outstanding work. And, I usually don't fan out, but Daniel Kaluuya is soooooo fine!!! Well done, what a great production on every level.
This movie was absolutely beautiful, I’m obsessed. The cinematography, writing, score, it was so real and raw.
Just finish seeing the movie and man o man what the discouraging feeling of being black and already tried and proven guilty before the courts even put you on the stand! Awesome film and the characters portrayed was just PHENOMENAL 📽💯! Just wished for a better outcome but that also means that the message was DELIVERED !
Thank you all for putting this in our face!!! We are sick of the disease of racism in America!!!
I am going to see this movie tonight excited!
This is one of my favorite movies this year. That ending broke me 💔💔💔 literally sobbed for an hour afterwards
This whole conversation was full of so much freedom, authenticity and full of truth! So beautiful
I love seeing DARK CHOCOLATE on the SILVER SCREEN the LOOK is sooo BEAUTIFUL N GRAND.
Literally watching this in tears. This is so special to me. So much raw talent and thought and love went into this project. Ugh ❤️
I went back a second time this week to see your film again. I am floored by it! It is exquisite and deep and powerful... Thank you each for putting this incredible film together.
I am now not mentally depressed because I see them alive
Wavy Grxvy fr 😂 I cried
Wavy Grxvy *SPOILER* man I was so uneasy at the end and so blinded by the sellout
Dude, did you just spoiled me the movie?
Same it’s like I had to see them together like they are alive now to me for real. The movie felt so real like they actually died in love.
Nakecia Fuller it devastated me!!
I have such a respect for these two talented women! To be able to process such an astonishing, expressive, beautiful movie truly inspires many! Thank you for this film truly outstanding!
I so desperately want the rest of the playlist Lena gave Daniel for the movie 😭
Can't wait to see this movie, looks like such a special and important project, where the stars just align
Excellence! So Good! What an emotional rollercoaster!
Wow I did not know they filmed part of the movie in Cleveland, Ohio in the winter.
excellent discussion. i cant wait to see this
This movie is going to be the inspiration for a lot of people’s Halloween costumes for the following years
Film of the Year imo
Bro u are refreshing ‼️ The movie had hiccups but it was so visually beautiful I honestly want to buy it. Men who appreciate this film i appreciate so much
More than amazing...this is what home feels like. Felt this one deep inside....
This narrative was wonderfully written and well directed. Queen & Slim gave a voice to our daily experiences and drove home how one moment can change someone’s life when choosing to defend one’s right to live.
What a deep conversation, and as a white person it was important for me to hear Lena talking about how there noone is holding her hand as a black person when you see police violence, thank you for verbalizing that crushing feeling
The synergy just warms my heart
Just the clip of the pull over scene in this video made me cry. This is film is in my top 5! I’ve watch it 3 times now !
this was awesome! now i need to go see the movie
Really enjoyed listening to this talk!
This IS yet another powerful black film for our classics collection. I am so glade I ended up watching it. I went to the movie theater to see something in the time slot of my one free day off. This was one of two movies to choose from and was blown away from its story line. Great job guys.
Seen this movie for the first time this year. Thank you Quarantine. I watched this alone and teared or cried the whole movie. The cinematography beautiful. The acting beautiful. The story familiar. Just amazing.
Saw the movie and I am HERE FOR ITTT.... been listening to the soundtrack for the past week and it’s been on REPEAT!!!
I hate that the black guy turned on his own people at the end.
jimmy colter i was watching someone talk about it on live & she was saying her friend is in it & said that the studio changed the race of the cop that got shot & the person that sold them out frm white to black to accommodate white ppl
Jimmy coulter money, money, money... One of the things I loved about this movie is that the Lena Waithe has said w ppl didn't have a say in the story.
The betrayal against one another happens too often. And it is often unexpected and a rude slap in the face. This kind of betrayal hurts deeper.
Damn u all ruined it for people
@@literallyaaliyah nahhhhh
Looooove, love, love this conversation.
This was a great conversation
This is remarkable!!! Inspiring! They make me want to create art that tells a story and be very detailed
Best movie of 2019. So powerful.
I agree!!!!
Omg queen is just soo addictive. She’s perfect 🥰
This is a great interview
Sick outfit Daniel.. Slim
I can't wait to see it.
Great interview...
This movie was beautiful. It will be a classic for future generations. You guys are now icons....
Best movie of the year hands down! I love them so much!
Amazing work! The film was incredible
I appreciate u man
Omg I so wanted to hear more
Just Another Girl on the IRT... I am sooooooo glad that movie still gets love to this day... Lena is next and now. Those people are so humbly speaking of their art of which they've turned bullets into roses. The way they skillfully provoked emotion to audience members reminded me of the pride that stings the mind cuz that creativity is painted from our hurt. We need more reality FILMS.
Such an amazing film. It really stays with you.
I absolutely love this video💜💜💜✊🏾🦁💯😍😍😍
