I
recently saw Black Panther. I expected an important movie
about people in spandex, and instead I got a movie that discussed
such things as: 1. History is important to understanding a situation,
2. Mistakes made a generation ago that caused injustice will have an
impact on the situation today, 3. Subsaharan Africa has nations but
those nations are also made up of tribes with their own identity, 4.
History has many excellent examples where disaffected ex-patriots
serve in the army of a foreign power and come home with that
knowledge in a big way, 5. Both the good guy and the bad guy loved
their fathers, 6. Some people care about traditional ways of doing
things even if those ways do not seem entirely rational to those
outside the system.
I
could go on.
This
is not bad for a superhero movie.
