Review Black Panther
The most beautiful Sunset is at
Wakanda. But do not ask is there next to Africa's Wakanda country, because we
will not find it on the map. In fact, this country is also not listed in the
Marvel world fiction map. Its location was deliberately hidden by the five
tribes united by meteor falling rich in mineral content of aliens called
Vibranium. Wakanda became a country with a super-sophisticated civilization therefore.
They are led by the King, a fighter who is worthy to bear the power of Black
Panther. Their royal order and secrecy are safe. Despite its abundant
resources, Wakanda disguises itself to the world as a 'hard' country. Not
because it's stingy, but they keep their technology baseball smell and
ultimately abused. But whose name is a secret where it can be awake for long.
When it was time for Prince T'Challa to take the throne to succeed his father,
a mysterious person appeared to hunt and expose Wakanda's cultural artifacts.
This unknown person wants to watch the most beautiful sunset while watching the
whole world on fire. So, T'Challa as the new Black Panther had to fight to stop
the man who challenged his position as the new king, and for that T'Challa had
to look back. To friends. To the tribes in Wakanda. To his family.
It is
not difficult to describe the Black Panther film into one word; SATISFACTORY.
This movie will make many people happy, in various levels. For me, I'm really
happy there's finally a major villain in a powerful, humane superhero movie
instead of a Joker. Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan's appearance here is really
charismatic) baseball simply wants the chaos world, he is also given a sense of
justice in his own view, because the youth's primary motivation stems from the
unfair treatment perpetrated by the supposedly good in the narrative. We see
him killing innocent people, but we understand his understanding and point of
view. Killmonger was not raised in comfort at Wakanda, he was far from the
kinship and tribal culture. Instead, Killmonger grew up on the streets of
America where he had seen the rigors of life. So, he wants to use Wakanda to
revolutionize, like, "you have lots of technology, why not use it to help
your people elsewhere?". We know Killmonger is evil, but we want to hear
more from him. Killmonger's presence is the trigger for change in the story,
which challenges the main character to become a better person.
This aspect is a sign of a good
rival story. Hero and his criminals are equally flawed. Strong and 'good'
criminals are not evil people or beings who are ambitious to rule the world by
blowing up or something. The 'good' criminal is a criminal whose motivation
forces the protagonist to rethink their attitudes, choices, and weaknesses. The
opposition of criminals makes the protagonist flourish. And in this movie we'll
see how T'Challa with Killmonger has a dynamic that makes each other stop and
rethink their beliefs. For the first time, we do not see a superhero that
upholds patriotism. In fact, T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman leading a uniformly
doing a great job) looks more like a troubled country leader between protecting
or serving. Between the traditions of his kingdom and things he believes to be
chosen. T'Challa's appearance when advised "The good man is hard to be
king" really does cast doubt on his heart; whether he is being rebuked for
being too good to be a king, or whether he is being praised worthy of being a
king for daring to act 'evil'. Almost all the development of the T'Challa
figure was based on his rethinking of the royal point of view, and was aware of
the wrong things that the previous generation had done, and then T'Challa would
think of what he should do to make things better.
This film does not describe how perfect the kingdom of
Wakanda and how people as smart as T'Challa develop this kingdom. Black Panther
is about realizing what we have done. And will we make corrections to it.
