I like to watch Tony reviews before I see the movie myself.
Haha same here!
Agree!
No one was prepared for the optical precipitation. I, too, balled my eyes out.
The acting in this movie, the star and everyone, makes it all feel so real and raw
I loved this film. Having married the best woman I've ever known who happens to be black, I'm as white a man as you can get without being allergic to the sun. We often joke with each other regarding public perception of our union (We both have very thick skin, and we joke about which shade is thicker ;) . This film spoke to both of us on so many levels, especially how the word "racism" never quite explains or encapsulates the separation, fear, and social divide we face today. Race is a beautiful thing, but it's not everything. Our hearts, our minds, and our very way of life never have to be dictated by social norms or what society demands or expects. We chose to fear God, not man, and we chose to love one another as Jesus called us to love, and live to be the active change we wish to see in the world. Be the positive change you wish to see and don't let anger or fear win, no matter what!
Powerful movie done beautifully.❤ I hope it's used in classrooms as a teaching tool about racism, caste and American History. Because its content is dismantling misinformation and old racist rhetoric, I'm not surprised it wasn't nominated for an Oscar. It makes those who profit from the misinformation uncomfortable. It was done brilliantly and timely and will transcend the politics of Hollywood.
💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Totally agree with this! Hollywood is incomplete with truth. Rather nominate a marvel movie or something else imaginative
Uncomfortable *
Saw it last night. Compelling images. Impactful. My dad told me about the untouchables when I was a little girl. I saw an article in a magazine and asked him about them. I learned so much from my dear old dad
I felt SO BLESSED to have been able to see "Origin" a few weeks back during a Regal's Mystery Movie Monday!!!
It was such a WELL ACTED & BEAUTIFULLY SHOT film with an IMPORTANT message!!!
I look forward to one day finishing the (audio)book that it was based on!
🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷
I saw this too during AMC's 'screen unseen' mystery movie in December. I wasn't ready--I was crying within the first minutes of the film and with every poignant moment in the film. I was an absolute mess. It was thought provoking and powerful. I now have to read the book.
@@tiatia6838- Chiiiiiiiiiiile, I was FIGHTIN' to SOB SILENTLY cuz I was a crying mess too 😩😭
I hope you enjoy and are as touched & enlightened the book as I have been! 😀🤗
I was on the plane and only got half way through so I couldn’t boo hoo like I wanted to. I had not even heard of this movie so like the reviewer I wasn’t ready. But I’m gonna watch it again from the beginning in the privacy and comfort or my home so I can release😊
2 tissues weren’t enough! I needed a whole box. I think I cried during 80% of this film. So important for everyone to see, like you said, even in school.
I agree with your review whole heartedly! I wasn’t ready for the tears either. It was worse because I went alone and was sitting between strangers. I felt so vulnerable. 😆
I agree that the best word for it is beautiful. I'm sad it didn't get picked up in the Oscar buzz but I really feel it will have impact even without the awards.
I going this weekend, most likely Saturday. Seen American Fiction too!!! Great Film!!!
American Fiction is GREAT! I enjoyed it! Jeffrey Wright is OUTSTANDING! Loved the cast too! ❤
I just came from seeing Origin. I absolutely learned something and it really made me think. I'd always thought there were similarities in oppressive systems around the world, but Origins makes the connections explicit. The movie was also especially timely given what's happening in Palestine.
Great movie review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to watch it and have a blessed day
Tony, you can say that again...I had ZERO tissues. The tears would not STOP!!!
Let me tell you - same. The exact same.
I read the book didn't know this was based from it I'm definitely watching IN THEATERS
I love Tony's review... I am going on Sunday... YES!
Dang. 4 and 1/2 stars from you Tony? Must be worth it.
One of the best films I've seen in a long time, if not ever.
Argeed Tony. This was an amazing film. Everyone should watch it. So much to think about and discuss.
I’m taking my 13 year old daughter and going to see it soon. I seen the trailer recently and it pulled me in already but after seeing this e definitely going!!
Soooooo prepare to cry like a new born baby, got it👍🏾 I also would like to say my black ppl been putting out some good quality movies. I love it. Thanks Tony can’t wait to watch it.
I had no napkins!! Sniffle city!!😂 the most thought provoking movie in a long time! Ava outdone herself with this one!! Agreed with the classroom talk ! Required movie and book!
Absolutely agree! This movie is beautifully done and it is HEAVY! I saw it this weekend and can have a full fireside chat today if anyone asked me about it.
As the incomparable Tony Baker would say, this movie made me shed non-stop, “big-booty” tears.
Such an amazing film. Tissues are mandatory for this film. Just well done
I saw it yesterday and had to sit there once the movie was over. So much knowledge.
I’m going to see this movie today!
Enough said… I’m taking my raggedy ass (kleenex in hand) to the theater to see this film asap. Appreciate the smooth jazz review 👌🏾
I finally saw Origin last night. I love it. It took a while for me to catch it because it wasn't playing in my area and when it would sporadically show it would be at weird times, not surprised because of the content. I live in a large city so that makes no sense. Either way , I thought it was all around a great movie that should've gotten an Oscar nomination. But even though it didn't Ava should keep making movies. Her films are brilliant and thought provoking. 👏🏾
You sold it for me❤
Good Review I must see!
I cried like a baby it was a superb film glad I decided to check it out!
Origin was amazing! Even had a great discussion by the person sitting beside me comparing what was learned. Lowkey want to read the book and I don’t be reading forreal.
I've watched it twice now. It hit me so hard the first time that I went back to watch it a second time 3 days later. The second time didn't hit quite as hard because I knew what was coming but the first time, I was a mess. The scene near the end where Isabel is summarizing the pillars of caste shown with footage of people being affected by it, just thinking deeply about how much pain and hurt us humans inflict on each other in the name of power and control and survival, it hit me HARD. The other scene that really made me tear up was the Al Bright scene at the end, the young boy that wasn't allowed to swim in the pool. Oh man, just thinking about the psychological harm that moment is doing to the kid. It took me awhile to get up out of my seat after it was over. The second time, the audience clapped at the end. I heard the director say that the old man telling the story of Al Bright at the end of the film, he was an extra that day while they were shooting the pool scene and he approached her to say that something similar happened to him in real life when he was a kid and told her his story. She asked him if he would be willing to be in the film to present the lines about Al Bright as though he had been there and he agreed. Apparently the moment when Isabel asks him how old he was was improvised between the two of them in the moment, it wasn't part of the original script.
Once you start really thinking about what this movie and the book are teaching, and you understand it, you can start to see just how big and widespread this is, you can see these caste systems in societies all over the world, in many different forms. It's so much bigger than just the examples presented in the film. You can see how it's the foundation that everything sits on and all the conflict, the racism, the sexism, all the "isms", the hate, the fear, are just symptoms of this system that is in place. It's like it's something inherent in human nature to create these hierarchies. You can see it in the religious conflicts, the genocides, Isreal vs Palestine, the way indigenous people have been (and still are) treated over the centuries trying to rid them of their culture and languages, you see it in politics with politicians jockeying for power and control by dehumanizing some group of people, the way the LGBTQ+ community is treated (especially lately in the rise of transphobia), the treatment of other minority groups, the tenets of capitalism. All of it, it's all made up of these invisible hierarchical systems of power and control. I will be reading the book now too. I thought it was a really interesting way to adapt the book into a movie. Instead of making it like a documentary with interviews and presenting facts, Ava made it more human by making it about the journey Isabel goes on while researching and writing this book.
One of my biggest questions that came out of the movie was where did the German hate for jews come from. Before all the nazi laws. What fueled their hate for them.
I saw it in an early screening on January 3rd. I've already deemed it the best movie of the year.
One of my favorite movies! I was definitely crying ❤ it was highly informative about the way that oppression has risen around the world, and is a call to free our minds ❤
I was an extra in this movie, I can say Ava is soooo sweet and kind very cool person!!!! The lead actress not so much. I plan on seeing it this weekend.
Gosh. Aunjanue Ellis Taylor is one of my FAVORITE actresses too. 😮💨 Maybe she had a bad day. 🤷🏾♀️
Ms ava, vera, Niecy and Connie were all very Nice to everyone there all cool with me because of that. Aunjanue was the only one that was too snooty to speak to anyone other than ava and her co-stars.
Oh and it was two different days over a week apart.
this movie was awesome so beautifully done
I cried unexpectedly. This movie is soul piercing. 😢 It was the true caste experience in the world. Excellent review Sir.
I went in knowing it would be a hard movie to watch but I wasn't expecting the tears. A week later and I'm still thinking about the movie
Loved this movie, saw it last weekend. Upset that it wasn't nominated for anything.
I'm not even a crier like that but i cried so much i was starting to get tired of it. Like why they did that boy Al like that. 😢😢😢
This movie was beautiful! I cried several times. Anjenue Ellis-Taylor and Niecy Nash-Betts were amazing. Every actor was great, including the little boy who played “Al!” Please see this Amazing piece of Art!
To be honest as I looked down and read what others had to say from their personal perspectives, I liked people speaking from their hearts! My people are some awesome forgiving people to all the other nations on this planet! I have a whole different view about how the movie is conveying a concept that offers the mind to think deep! My ripe age of 71 years on this planet, going through the many experiences, hardships, and rejections, will not allow me to care about those in India, and others from the other nations! Perhaps I sound selfish and out of touch to the new moderates who embrace and forget the hell blacks have been through and continue currently to deal with often!
I feel we are the most forgiving people and understanding of others, more than for ourselves! I admire how other nations have each others back, this help them succeed because they have allies within their family circle or their nations...blacks do not have that!
Everybody of all the nations tend to minimize our plight that Racism is not a factor, that we must love and forgive, bridging gaps, together for everybody, except self! How can you call what is happening over in India the same as our issues here in America!? The Caste system has more to do with class...if your father is wealthy, or title in their world! He will be exsteened according to what values he offers in life vs. the color of his skin!!! Yes, they have self hate for those darker, but if the lighter skin in color is poor, they are class out to the bottom also!!!
Gaza would be a better comparison because they are being oppressed by outsiders, not by their own who looks just like them! America, being a rich black man can be rendered by those in power to reduce you back to being poor! Great people, rich men, of color who have lost their wealth like Bill Cosby, R.Kelly, Wendy Williams, just to name a few!! Should they forget who they are, not remember they're black, even if they are but rich...is not Caste identified, as "Black Race" stay in your place!!! Critically thinking about how she pitched this movie was great!! I felt it was more about her living between two worlds, she's perplexed on how to deliver and package something not to offend the nation of her husband's people the white race! She was challenged as women of color, married to a man of another nation, and a black women on how to be more politically correct! (sides often must be picked)
Blacks have experienced things that no other group of people have from experienced, from white powerful people, this alone debunks her theory that Indian's, Black's, optative words, have the same meanings...Racism and Casteism!!!! It becomes more apparent, to me it's more conducive for her to lump all people of color, even the jewish people, in with our issues as she articulate sensitivity for both sides! Now the narrative is created, there is no differences in what we have faced for almost 400 years vs. when they come to this country their treatment, will not be as ours,we still faces yet today, thus...nobody have to pay our issues any attention...it's all the same?!? If we are to adapt to her way of spinning this movie, or our real life problems!
I enjoyed thinking deep to what this movie offered me as older women who have had so many battles everyday at schools, jobs, at buying homes, etc.!!! Realistically, it's just too much for me to link all dark people in my life issues, from around the globe! Castes is not the same as Racism because the method is different! I do not like to see anyone get mistreated because I know how it feels! I worked with Indian people and they are not fond of us, nor do they come here and live among us! I have nothing against most nations but I do not agree with the movie in my opinion saying what we go through on a daily, everybody go through the same thing so lets not spin our time pointing out that blacks are suffering more than the other dark people on the planet!!
Why is it when they come here, they are not suffering the same fate we are in this country? I am old, born in the night, but I am not a fool...no matter where we go, we get that treatment that nobody gets!!!! Honestly, I was a little offended because I felt this young lady soften the blows coming for white people because her husband is white!!!! This is my thoughts just like her movie opened up an ideology that people had never thought about and it's her right to write her book and make this movie...we all have rights to our honest o humble opinions! I think the movie was worth watching because it's a blessing to get in the mindset of others to be better thinkers, in our critical modes, to really see the world we live in from our own personal opinions, and hers!!!! It is refreshing to freely express passionately, no matter if others agree with us nor not! Be bold, honest, and stand on our beliefs...nobody but God, we should count on for being on our side!! Loving me some black people!! May all be well in our soul to think and say lovingly with peace our truths!
Dope
🎉first view
I'm taking my a$$ to the theater.😂
He spoke so highly of the movie, u thought for sure it was gonna get 5 saxs! One movie got 5 but I don't remember what it was.
Tony, you are a mess. 😂 But, you do make a valid point about how WE should support more nuanced films featuring OUR people. Like Spike said, "A lot of this is on us." I will see American Fiction this weekend and I will support Origin soon thereafter. ❤
Why not 5 stars Tony??? A review like that deserves 5!!
I always like to let everything settle before the 5 sax.
@@TonyBakercomedy Okay what needs to settle? do you need to watch it again. I plan to go see it as soon as it comes to Memphis
aight man, ima go watch 😂
Can't wait til he sees "Land Of Bad" when it hits theatres next month, I saw it Monday it was amazing!!!
I’m getting emotional because you fixed the squeak in the reviewer’s chair.
I was hoping you would say, 'I never kneeeeeew.' 😂
I had the exact same experience! I didn't know what to expect. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😩😩😩😩
Thanks for the wet face disclaimer lol I’ll be prepared
GOOD thing we eliminated a bad thing like-RACISM-here in america. It no longer exists here,through extra ordinary human effort we've also defeated discrimination. 😎😎😎😎
What?!!
@@TonyBakercomedy I was being sarcastic. LOL.
@@user-be7tc2bd6eCLEARLY! 😂
CLEARLY. 😂
Tell them Tony 😂
I AGREE TONY!!!
It should be MANDATORY VIEWING for EVERYONE of ALL AGES, GENDERS, BACKGROUNDS!!!
you loud as hell
boooksss!!??!! loook out - Tony
I agree with this movie being in schools
I saw this movie a week ago, after the movie ended from what i could see everyone was clapping.
What they gotta do to get 5 sax in these streets…
This movie was deep
Who is Ava Doo-vair-nay? 😅 thought it was pronounced Du-ver-nae
Welp you probably already upset at the Academy by now
PISSED!!!
@@TonyBakercomedyWhy be pissed? This is the TYPICAL Oscars. 😏
damn autobiographical😭
Co-host extraordnary..WATER! Where is it?
Wrong show dude, you're thinking of Verbal Cardio.
@@Alexz_Archivz nahh I need him to have errtime 😤😂
I'll have my kleenex! Thanks!♥
You can't include the fentanyl or criminal record angle in the story or else certain women will get upset and then steal hair products.
I'm learning that there are black folks indigenous to America. They saying this is our motherland and Africa. I got questions.
Yes because Africans didn't stay in one place like the Asians and lastly the Europeans. We all from Earth.
me: I might watch it when I can stream it..
tony: Don't punk out and wait for streaming. put your money up and go see it now...
me: never mind, F this movie, I'm no longer interested...
I listened to the audiobook when it was first released. I kind of wish I was able to enjoy this movie sight unseen but it was a great adaptation.
I took my raggedy tail to the theatre and it is truly must-see viewing! I hope word of mouth puts wings on this movie because it’s so important to share these stories. 🪽🎥🍿❤
What’s frustrating is that the people who need to see this the most, won’t 😢
I hope Stan walker wins best music for the movie origin
Being a southern woman, I carry minimum 2 pocket packs of Kleenex at all times. And a real live linen handkerchief as well. (In memory of my Grannie)🥹
I will bring extra when I see this.
