There is a new movie that came out in theaters recently and it is called Black Panther. This movie is full of strong characters. From strong female leads to strong leads of a child. This movie really allowed for every character to have their big moment to prove that they are strong people. There is a king, T’Challa, that gets challenged by another man who is also royal blood. This man is an outsider, but is willing to do whatever it takes to let Wakanda’s wealth be known to the rest of the world. T’Challa’s younger sister, Shuri, is in charge of creating advanced technology to allow the king to go on missions and help their nation. The outsider wants to be in charge of all their technology to attack other nations to prove that they are not a third world country. The outsider eventually wins the throne and he “kills” T’Challa, but he was saved by a different tribe before he actually died. T’Challa comes back with his younger sister, his girlfriend, and his mother. They fight off the outsider and his army to let things go back to the way they were before he took over their nation.
This movie really showed how powerful someone, or a group of people, can be when they want to fight for something they really believe in. Even though the outsider and his army were much more powerful than T’Challa’s army, they did not stop fighting until they got Wakanda back to what they used to be. The youngest character, Shuri got to be in charge of creating the most advanced technology. The female rolls also got to prove how strong they were when they were united. This movie not only proves how strong African Americans can be, but it also proves how strong women truly are.
