It is ironic that a movie set with a people fighting against slavery is set historically in a people that perpetuated slavery even before white people did. This movie is propaganda and completely a-historical.
Strong....Powerful...People
This film is excellent in spirit and execution. Based on true historical events, The Woman King allows the viewer a glimpse of the Dahomey people's intense desire to remain free from being conquered and exploited during the early 1800's African slave trading done by both African and European slavers. The audience has an opportunity to realize what African people did to survive during those horrendous times. The all Woman defense force were called the Agojie (A-go-gee). I intend to view The Woman King again.
Viola Davis rocked it. Loved the entire movie from start to finish, with the exception of the dark arts, aka "Rocks" The rocks "LOL" not good.
awesomeness...all about woman power. Excellent cast, excellent costumes, and great comrades
This the best movie my group has seen. Thank You Galaxy Theater . We enjoyed your wonderful service. Thank for being so kind . We had large group & they want thank you as well.
How the authors are not ashamed of themselves? If they wanted a movie about African people they could use the Dahomey as the villains and some villagers they raided and enslaved as the protagonists who fight back/try to escape from slavery.
The worst woke garbage to ever hit the movie theater - and that’s saying something.
Unwatchable.
Cheesy, overacted…!
