Review : Judas and the Black Messiah (2021)

The buzz surrounding Judas and the Black Messiah has been massive, so much so to the point that even my father recently asked me if I was hip to it. It’s odd how COVID-19 and the year 2020 rewired us in ways we didn’t even realize, but I am just now understanding how long it has been since I truly anticipated a movie release date like this one. With the film falling squarely in the heart of Black History Month and focusing on the sad and tragic death of Fred Hampton, it seemed like a no-brainer to jump into this one at the first opportunity possible.

Despite their intentions to protect and educate their impoverished communities, the Black Panther Party finds themselves targeted by J. Edgar Hoover (Martin Sheen), the F.B.I. and COINTELPRO in an effort to undermine and destroy the group. After he is caught impersonating an F.B.I. agent in an attempt to steal a car from a Black Panther party member, petty criminal Bill O’Neal (Lakeith Stanfield) finds himself assigned as an F.B.I. informant tasked with infiltrating the Chicago chapter of the Black Panther Party in hopes of getting him close to Fred Hampton (Daniel Kaluuya) so that he can report back to F.B.I. Agent Roy Mitchell (Jesse Plemons), his handler. O’Neal quickly finds himself in Hampton’s inner circle, but due to O’Neal’s checkered past interactions with the criminals that the Black Panthers are trying to turn to their side, O’Neal finds himself under intense scrutiny from both sides. Meanwhile, Hampton begins to make true inroads by uniting Black, White and Puerto Rican groups in Chicago under the banner of erasing oppression, and with each step in the right direction, the F.B.I.-based target on his back grows.

Framing the film as flashbacks and recollections of Bill O’Neal that occur during an interview taping for the very real Eyes on the Prize documentary immediately drives home way that O’Neal is split between two sides of a war on ideals. O’Neal is literally forced to be two different people depending on whom he is associating with at any given time, and based on this lifestyle, there is never a true moment where we see him at ease or laid-back, which helps root the narrative tension that walks viewers up to the sad and inevitable ending. All the while, we are also shown just how many irons the F.B.I. had in the fire, to the point that the left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing.

What really makes the film work is the authenticity in regards to the area and the era in which the film takes place. Chicago had an infamous history in regards to the Black Panther Party, but the film does a good job of making sure that people understand that the Crowns, the Gangster Disciples and the Black P-Stone Rangers all had just as much influence on the community at the time. The echoes of the tragedies that beset the Civil Rights Movement are continually brought up in the film, along with several moments focusing on other icons of the Black Panther Party and their current state of affairs. The way that the movement devolves into chaos, courtesy of the police and F.B.I., helps viewers understand why so many inner-city locations are in the state that they’re still in, and clarifies to those who don’t know how the goal was always to destabilize the disenfranchised.

For a film about such a cold and calculated assassination of a political figure that spoke for the streets, the visual tone is incredibly warm and inviting, and the juxtaposition is stark enough to keep viewers glued to the screen. It also helps establish the downfall of the party, as the warmness gradually fades form the film, leaving it bathed in blacks and blues. The film mostly focuses on ideals and political philosophy, but when it finds itself in the realm of action is does not disappoint... the depictions of conflict between the police and the Panthers feel like guerilla warfare in their rawness. Only the best songs from the era are chosen for the soundtrack, which leaves room for the moving and emotional film score to do it’s job by pulling us into the depths with those struggling to survive and stay afloat.

For the most park, Daniel Kaluuya tends to play reserved and withdrawn characters, and at times he channels this in his performance, but he also proves himself more than capable of achieving the fire, passion and gravitas it takes to portray an iconic leader like Fred Hampton. Lakeith Stanfield maneuvers through the film like a mouse dancing around traps, trying his best not to be caught while edging closer and closer to springing the demise of his downfall, with all of the paranoia one imagines would come with this set of circumstances. Jesse Plemons keeps his eyes on the prize (no pun intended) with an unwavering and statuesque dedication to the end game, all the while feigning the least amount of care it takes to convince O’Neal. Dominique Fishback brings much needed tenderness to the a film full of strife, tension and double-crossing intentions, helping to soften the razor-sharp edginess present. Ashton Sanders, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Algee Smith, Jermaine Fowler and Dominique Thorne all step up to the plate and do the Black Panther Party justice in their portrayals of their respective group members. Martin Sheen brings his stature to the table in his role a J. Edgar Hoover, and supporting appearances by Lil Rel Howery, Robert Longstreet, Terayle Hill, Amari Cheatom, Caleb Eberhardt and Mark Francis fill things out.

Shaka King really and truly stepped up to the plate for this historical drama. Based on the production of this film versus the date it was released, I am unsure of where it will fall in terms of awards consideration, but I hope that it is cued up for next year, because I can see a Best Director nomination for King, a Best Picture nomination, and perhaps even a Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor win for Stanfield. Regardless of what accolades this film may or may not achieve, it is almost certain to go down in history as an important film.

She’s Pregnant

𝖪𝖤𝖨𝖳𝖧 𝖯𝖮𝖶𝖤𝖱𝖲: 𝖲𝖧𝖤’𝖲 𝖯𝖱𝖤𝖦𝖭𝖠𝖭𝖳!

—

3:15 in the morning, [y/n] was currently puking her guts out into the toilet. her best friends, kayla and dream were holding her hair up, and patting her back. they would’ve thought [y/n] gotten drunk before coming over for the sleepover but she wouldn’t be drunk and drive here, would she?

“what did you eat?” dream questioned as she peeled into the toilet then looked away using her free hand to cover her nose. “member we had chinese earlier? i didnt eat anything before or after that.” flushing the toilet, she moved to the sink, kayla handed her the toothbrush, and [y/n] brushed and freshened her breath with some mouthwash.

“maybe it was something in the food that made you sick?” kayla exited out of the bathroom with the two following her. “i eat that all of the time, i’ve never thrown up before. general t’so chicken is my shit, y’all know that.” she got onto the air mattress, and laid on her back. “did your period come?” dream blurted out. then [y/n] thought for a minute before leaping off of the air mattress. i was suppose to start almost three weeks ago, i lost track of time due to being all wrapped up with keith, my friends and his. i wasn’t feeling bad, or throwing up before.

“i was suppose to get it that week when we was in los angeles with keith.” she began to panick, pacing herself in this big room of dream’s. “don’t worry- we’ll just get pregnancy tests in the morning, and we’ll find out our answer.” kayla tried to calm [y/n], “yeah, she right. it’s late. we need to catch on some snooze.”

-

it’s been twenty minutes, dream and kayla were snoring their heads off, and i was staring out the window. me being pregnant could effect keith and what’s he doing. his career just started to take off, and i didn’t want me nor the baby to ruin his life. although he has to take part of this, he did nut in me.

i sighed as i rolled over onto my other side, and soon i was off into a deep slumber. hours later, i surprisingly woke up before kayla and dream. i checked my phone and i had mad missed calls, snapchats, text messages, and even instagram messages from keith. it was only 1:15PM, he could’ve just waited and not gone overboard.

sending him a quick text, i went to get myself ready, i lazily tossed all of my good hair into a messy bun. i managed to do something to my edges, i didn’t have a lot of energy to do anything. i was tired.

by the time i got out of the bathroom my best friends were up, picking out each other’s outfits. “hey, future baby mama.” kayla jokes. “hahaha.” i laid on her bed, just wanting to curl up into a ball or get my booty rubbed.

“keith big ass was calling you while you was in the bathroom. we told him you was entertaining another nigga.” dream lied, “dream!”

“i’m just playin, bitch. we told him you was eating and that we was finna go somewhere. then you know his big headed self started asking these questions and was trynna act like somebodies daddy.” they rolled their eyes playfully. “aww that’s my fat head.”

“yea, ya fat head baby daddy.” i went to mush her (dream) but she was already heading towards the bathroom.

“if it makes you feel better we’ll take one too.” kayla said, “uh uh bitch don’t involve me into dis.” dream sucked her teeth.

“dis our bitch dre, we gotta be there for each other.” kayla tried to preach. “we ain in church pastor kayla.” dream rolled her eyes. “but fine.” she groaned.

the trip to the store was pretty fast, we each grabbed a pregnant test, clear blue, in fact. “what y’all doing in this aisle?” elijah wondered, “um...” we were all eye wided. “we’re finna pull a prank on my momma and daddy.” i lied quickly, “with pregnancy test? sounds believable. record it for me?”

“for sure!” i forced a big smile, we waited until he was out of sight, rushing to the cashier, we paid and left.

stepping back into the house, we ran up to the bedroom, shutting it behind us as well. “okay, [y/n] you go first since you doing that stupid ass potty dance.”

“no wait, i want all of us to do it..” kayla said. “okay, kayla you take the second bathroom and i’ll take the one downstairs. we’ll text when we in the bathrooms aight?”

once the text messages were sent, they did their business, took the test and met back into the room. “i’m so fucking scream bro.” i paced myself, on the dresser mine was wrapped into toilet paper, one had a green mark which was dream’s and kayla’s was just regular.

as five minutes went by, we picked up the test, “on three?” dream looked at us. “one.” i started. “two.” dream said after. “three.” kayla said lastly.

flipping over the tests, i read mine.

pregnant.

“oh my fucki- dream, you pregnant?!” kayla kept looking from the test to dream. “what?” i snapped my eyes to the pregnancy test.

“this ain’t mine.” dream choked up, laying it back down. “yes it is.” kayla smirked obviously being pretty.

dream started crying, running her hand through her hair. “algee tore that ass up, and now he knocked you up, bitchhhhh.” kayla was getting excited, and her test came out negative. lucky bitch.

“wow, both my best friends pregnant. when did you and algee fuck?”

“that same fucking night as me and keith, that’s why y’all nasty asses didn’t want to come with us bowling!”

“yo ass ain’t go either!”

“whateva whateva!”

then her phone went off, we knew that ringtone was set for algee. “tickle me elmo is calling, you better be ready to tell him.” i patted her back. “and when i tell him, imma snitch and say you pregnant too, so he can tell keith.” dream smirked, and i immediately ran, not even ran i leaped towards the phone.
