Understanding the movie and the history
18 September 2022
Overall if you haven't seen this movie and are criticizing it for slavery depiction or feminism ect.. you need to watch it. It did a brilliant job of NOT bringing in political modernism and telling the story of this tribe which has women and men warriors unlike other tribes that just focused on men and its story from the year 1823 (when they were at war with other tribes & such) The balance was really great.

Slavery: they talk about it. They condemn it. The tribe does it and talks about how they have done it. Viola Davis character talks about how they need to stop doing it. The movie does NOT glorify or shy away from the brutality that it was.

History: there is a beautiful article explaining the history inine with the movie with historians. Look up: time the woman King true story.

Anyway it was a good movie that made you care about all the characters and forget about the time.
