The Importance of Representation
Made by a black director with an almost entirely black cast, Black Panther became the epitome of great representation in the cinema. The movie was praised for not portraying the typical way of showing the black community or life in Africa. Black Panther became an icon of black power and strength.
Whether you liked Black Panther or not, you can’t deny the movie is a great pillar for the African-American community in America and worldwide. Very few other movies were able to portray such a powerful message about the African community, and Black Panther did so with a 99% black cast – which is even cooler!
