To your critic of repetition: the repetition spoke to BLACK WOMEN! It made me feel seen. We, black women, spend way too much time having to explain ourselves even when we have the degrees, the professional integrity, the experience. . . we are often challenged or unheard for no real reason other than cast. This movie was absolutely amazing. The work that Isabel Wilkerson is doing is absolutely amazing. I hope everyone sees it and takes to heart the themes this movie attempted to address.
Appreciate you sharing your insights
@@MovieFiles If they hadn't fired that Harvard Chancellor, I'd wish y'all a Happy Black History Month
+1 on this comment. It’s definitely intentional and is the cross black women carry in this society. we observe this burden in the scene leading up to her walking into the soirée and taking in a deep breath before her entrance.
I read an article that Ava wanted this film out in time for the 2024 election. It originally was supposed to be released on Netflix so maybe that’s why she didn’t go the multiple episode route. Can’t wait to watch loved Aunjanue ever since Ray and Love Craft Country. She just embodies the character in everything she plays. She definitely needs that Oscar.
I had no idea Isabel Wilkerson's book had been adapted into a movie or that this was an Ava DuVernay project! Thank you for the review. I'm intrigued.
Everyone must see this movie. It will move you. I didn’t know it existed because Miss Duverney had to get the funding herself and so marketing herself because Hollywood wasn’t interested. That mirror being held up to their whyte faces is uncomfortable.
I saw the film yesterday, and your commentary and review were spot on. Great job. I also love Ava DuVernay and the cast was 🔥. Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor’s performance was exceptional. Having read the book first, I’m so glad it has encouraged many to read it. The book is a masterpiece. Please read the book.❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Had the chance to see this at an early screening last Monday. Really enjoyed it. Even shedded a tear at one part. Ava did her thing as always.
Only one part? I cried during about 80% of it 😭💔
I haven’t read the book but now I want to. I’m very familiar with the subject matter. The book was HUGE years ago.
Do read the book. Gets into the nitty gritty and I did learn new things.
Another reviewer said that it should be viewed in schools as well. That's what I think of the movie Till-2022. I must watch this movie .
I like that idea…but since they’re banning books…this will be an issue in certain schools.
@@newdawn7586 yep you do make a point.
Yeah schools in the south wont show it
I was already familiar with various historical cultural experiences of caste, how it has and continues to be the way we humans have divided ourselves into different hierarchies everywhere on the planet. But is this a natural human need to do so?
When I heard about this movie about 6 months ago, I ordered the book. Upon reading it, it confirmed what we know intuitively, that the Personal is Political & The Political is Personal.
Shared experiences of discrimination, all those "isms" from the dominant culture. How we need to stop letting ourselves being turned against each other for the benefit of others.
I'm looking forward to seeing the movie and hope the streaming services will be airing it soon.
Thank you Eliott for reviewing Caste.
Who are the “others” of whom you speak, how is it that there could be any “benefit” to be derived from exploitation? Ironic, you claim to believe in liberation and equality, and yet your ignorance belays the fact that you, in fact, believe in the purest form of oppression and slavery imaginable. Cheaters never prosper, Justice is not a political affect, and your arrogant sense of human superiority over nature is as destructive as it is ridiculous.
It didn't bother be, but I'm curious to know if all of the stories about Isabel's personal life/losses were in the book.
haven't watch the film yet but cannot wait to see this. If i hadn't heard that cover song video of Origin ohh how beautiful the back drop of it is made me want to see this film and thank you for the insight of what its about cannot wait 😍
Thanks for the review! Checking it out today.
Hope you enjoy it!
Great review, you captured how I felt after viewing it, it wasn't perfect but had a strong, enduring message and recommended must-watch for all
I watched Ava and Aunjanue on The Breakfast Club today and was moved by how passionately they spoke about the film. I later learned that it’s available in only a couple of theaters in my city. Elliot’s recap has encouraged me to make the pilgrimage and I’m excited about it.
I’ll be back with my thoughts afterwards 🤍
i'm very familiar with the caste system, i struggle with watching movies with this heavy subject matter but i do luv Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor and will and this to my watch list
I did a film review, but also love yours. Great job!
Thank you for The review on this film.. I look forward to seeing this movie and further reviews of yours.
Appreciate it
I read the book without knowing the personal struggles Ms. Wilkerson experienced as she journeyed to get the book completed. Having read the book first, I would have much rather have seen this done as a documentary. I feel that the Caste theory was secondary to the personal story. I happen to disagree with Ms Wilkerson on her theory. At least partially anyway. In Germany, Jews had to wear yellow stars to be differentiated from Christian Germans. In India although the Brahmins tend to have lighter skin than Dalits, they are basically phenotypically the same. While caste is a layer in the US, what we experience racism. We wear our race on our faces everyday.
The move was cinematically beautiful and I will support these types of project because they were produced by us.
I'm planning to see the movie. I didn't know there was a book thanks for your review
Hope you enjoy it!
She does a lot of great educational films for people who dont read. 😂😂😂😂 A lot of her movies are based on subject matter I have studied for over a decade. So, its like watching something I already know. But, Im still going to watch this movie because she's really good.
Going to see it this Saturday. I do have the book Caste.
Hope you enjoy it
Thanks!
Can’t thank you enough for the support ❤️
What you know about A&P?
😊 this A&P shirt had me in my childhood memories.. nostalgic.
Where do you go to watch this movie? I've been looking for it and don't see😊 it...
Hello, I'm gonna give this movie 5 out of 5. If not more, this is a movie worth talking about. I really learned something watching this movie. It will put you on a path to educate yourself. Even if you feel like the movie needed more. I really want my children. My family to watch this movie. This was awesome. I couldn't stop crying me and my husband was at oz.
@andrinnamake19855...I do not mean to be insensitive to the mistreatment of others who may have the same color of skin!
However at 71, with all the things I face on a daily to this day so much unrest for our people I have no room for those who come here to this country and live among the whites and not with us! So I do not want to be lumped with people, who benefit on the backs of my people from every nation!!!! Just not my concern! Perhaps I am missing what the movie was trying to convey? It was a good movie to watch because of what the lady was going through with her own personal life! I only care about my personal family, and our black people that remains in unrest to this day!!! I have watch the slave movies and the real life things happening in the now....all tapped out with try to connect with another group of people have their own issues!!!
So you wanted more? A good criticism
She will be the new President and CEO of HARPO PRODUCTIONS when Oprah decides to step down...
How to see
In theaters
Ava Duvernay? As if the book wasn’t a good enough reason not to see it.
Another anti black man movie?
What makes you say that?
What are you talking about?
Answer to your question. No.
This movie was well acted, but super boring.
