14 powerful reactions from people who have seen “Black Panther”
We know Black Panther just opened, but if you haven’t seen it yet, we need to talk. Because your priorities in life are majorly out of whack. And yes, it is that serious. Don’t believe us? Take a look at the powerful reactions from people who have seen Black Panther, and get ready to feel all the feels.
Picture it: Chadwick Boseman. A story straight out of a Shakespeare play. Michael B. Jordan. Visually stunning CGI. Gorgeous costumes. Michael B. Jordan. A soundtrack that will make you feel like a badass. Lupita Nyong’o. Michael B. Jordan again. (Okay, so we might have a thing for the “technically single” Michael B. Jordan. Who doesn’t?)
But Black Panther isn’t just a movie. It’s a movement. Written and directed by black filmmakers and starring an almost all-black cast, Black Panther marks the first mega-budget motion picture about a black superhero. From hosting voter registration drives at Black Panther screenings, to the crowdfunding efforts used to help send fans of all ages to the theater, the movie’s long-anticipated arrival and inspiring message are being used as a launchpad for creating real change. We couldn’t be more here for it, and we can’t wait to see where it takes us.
After seeing #BlackPanther for a second time, I'm convinced that this film and its message could change the world… https://t.co/LW3yT3QPsf

I am forever changed after watching #BlackPanther yesterday. I literally walk different now. This film has made me want to treat myself and my people even better. I have never been so sad leaving a theater knowing I couldn't buy a one way ticket to Wakanda and never look back. pic.twitter.com/atCOVwPy1W

Attention, Hollywood: Representation matters.
Just cried in the middle of a theater because I saw a little boy pointing excitedly at all the #BlackPanther posters around screaming “HE LOOKS LIKE ME!!” 😭😭😭 #RepresentationMatters

P.S. The women of Wakanda rule.

The women of Wakanda saved the republic. And their characters weren’t exaggerated, when you pay attention, that’s what African women have done over the centuries #BlackPanther

Just saw #BlackPanther, and my girlfriend’s 13-year-old daughter is literally crying because of how powerfully the film portrayed black people, esp black women. Don’t let anyone say this film doesn’t impact how we see ourselves.
