Never happen. I suspect this movie will be a boxoffice dud.
Good. Prices were artificially high. Please bring on the “crash” (they say that like it’s a bad thing).
I wish Hollywood would switch gears and feature black contributions to science and technology. Something positive for a change.
‘The Woman King’ glorifies African slave-trading kingdom”
The woman wasn’t the King, she was the General of the army.
I saw the trailer and wrote it off as woke propaganda. There actually as a Sudanese leader who was a successful war leader (woman) but why deal with truth when fictional trash sells just as well if not better?
Another Comedy. I’m not a comedy fan.
So an African country made bunches of money selling other Africans to Europeans as slaves. Show this film in Europe where the buyers are.
Excellent Poontang watching.
Dahomey?
Really?
Da Homies?
“The movie lauds the Dahomey warriors as underdogs that punched up and defeated French colonialists, as depicted in vivid and highly imaginative fight scenes showcasing the Agojie’s martial prowess against superior French firearms.”
Then they were essentially wiped out by the French...
Viola Davis recently criticized lukewarm attendance, though her whining gave the impression that she wasn’t quite through portraying former first lady you-know-who.

he growth of Dahomey coincided with the growth of the Atlantic slave trade, and it became known to Europeans as a major supplier of slaves.[2] As a highly militaristic kingdom constantly organised for warfare, it captured children, women, and men during wars and raids against neighboring societies, and sold them into the Atlantic slave trade
Two comments - this bit of history, such as it is, happened long after the West African slave trade had been suppressed (1890).
Dahomey as a state entity did participate in the trade extensively, and its reasonable to say that it owed its growth and power to it, but in an earler time, the 17th-18th centuries.
The French took the region with very low casualties. The battles were the usual colonial massacres of ill-armed and ill-trained natives. Note: we tend to over-emphasize those few cases where the colonizers were defeated, but these were the exceptions.
wakanda propaganda.
Dahomey was slave traders heaven...This is the biggest reason progressives refuse to talk about slavery in any way except bad white people....I’m willing to bet that majority of blacks know nothing about the reality of Africa and slavery...
The captives would be sold to western slavers, Arab slavers or sacrificed.
They were dead if they stayed in Africa after being caught. Castrated and maybe early death if sold to Arabs.
Made for only one reason , Oscars ,LOL
