The Mark of the Black Panther !

Ten years after the start of his film career, Marvel releases Black Panther and shows it has breath for much more. Black Panther is emblematic in several aspects, especially since it is a very well done film.

Director Ryan Coogler (Fruitvale Station) shows undisguised dedication and goes through the heart of the racial issue in the US, making clear his vision of minorities and prejudice, but with room for reflection.

With a cast consisting of black actors (with few exceptions) playing well-developed characters, the greatest virtue of the film lies in its direct, assertive and well-made narrative. The motto is fantastic: "we must build bridges, not barriers."

Black Panther is an important film within the genre, as well as the very creation of the characters on the pages of the Fantastic Four in the mid-1960s - a new affirmation of a social movement! The plot features well-structured arches within a very comprehensive theme: Our responsibilities and duties - to the family, to the motherland, to love, to culture ... The sense of duty touches all the characters and is exactly that that we feel the fullest identification - or at least it should be like that (do you remember Professor Xavier saying that nobody needs to be black to be against apartheid?).

Black Panther is not a black-to-black movie, but a universal movie for all, with a black cast and strong women in the lead roles (DC's Amazon in the movies pale again). And here Marvel hits in the near total absence of the typical latent humor of his films, because "seriousness" builds the nobility of the character and its cause.

With neat performances, an excellent script, action, modern soundtrack - "organic" and localized - competent effects and great characters, the result could not be bad. Do you guess who wins with that? Another highlight: Killmonger is one of the best Marvel villains within his usual formula (in which the hero must defeat himself initially). With a convincing psychological construction and brilliant acting by Michael B. Jordan (Creed).

Impossible to finish watching the movie, check out your two post-credit scenes and not get thirsty for more - and that means Avengers Infinite War already in April (2018)!
