Book Review Movie Review The Woman King

This whole book was beautifully written.

You should definitely read this book. It is a short book, so it’s not going to take forever to read, and it has so much information. Feminism is an important topic that we shouldalllearnabout,andreading this book and getting informed on it is how we can start.

Youmightbewonderingwhyfeminists only focused solely on the equality of females and genders, but these pages by Ngozi made perfectsense.Ifyoudon'tfocuson one issue, you'll lose your identity or the sole reason you've fought. Yes, female rights are human rights, but these rights have been oppressed for ages. And it's now time to highlight aspects of it that bring light to issues many face all over the world.

"This type of question is a way of silencing a person’s specific experiences. Of course I am a human being, but there are particular things that happen to me in the world because I am a woman."

We Should All Be Feminists

A large, bulging, show-off spectacle of a movie, muscular in its actionsequencesandexpansivein scale. The Woman King is the type of historical epic that is simply no longer produced. It's also a previously unproduced movie with a fantastic cast that is largely made up of black women. Gina Prince-Bythewood doesn't precisely reinvent the action movie's cinematic language—many aspects of her strategy will seem familiar—but she does reclaim and revitalise it.

The movie centres on the kingdom of Dahomey, one of the most influential nations in West Africa in the 18th and 19th centuries, and is loosely based on actual historical events. The Agojie, an all-female army commanded by a fearsome general named Nanisca, is guarding the King (John Boyega) and his large fortune (a magnificent, battle-weary Viola Davis).HerclosestalliesareIzogie (Lashana Lynch), a veteran who trains one of the Agojie's newest recruits, Nawi, and Amenza (SheilaAtim),aseerwiththeleangrace of a gazelle and a devastating talent with a javelin (Thuso Mbedu).

The fact that the scene is about more than just asskicking elevates it (although the fight choreography is exemplary and the action is a technical triumph). The Woman King dares to address uncomfortable issues while giving its cast the chancetofullydeveloptheirroles. It tackles and questions the role played by some African people, including the Dahomey, in the enslavement of others. It is about overcoming trauma. A thunderously cinematic good time is guaranteed if you watch it on the largest screen you can locate.

We should all be feminists, by Chimamanda Ngozi, talks about the stages in her life that she felt were unfair to her and women in general. Like the class tradition that had the person with the highest scores be the hall monitor, but when she got the highest scores, the teacher appointed a boy. And when she gave a worker a tip, he in turn showed gratitude to the boy standing next to her because ‘he is a man’ and apparently in the worker's mind, only men can have money.

A striking part of this book is basically the whole thing. This is the only nonfiction book you might willingly read, such a convincing essay on feminism. You will also fall in love with how the author doesn’t blame this issue on men and has sympathy for men too. She said that if we, both genders, can change our perspective on many things, feminism to be specific, then our future kids can be happier, that they can be freer, and they don’t have to listen to gender expectations.

Seffi Atta captures the plight of African women in this brilliant write-up. Set in the post-colonial era, Everything Good Will Come tells the story of Enitan and the different muddles she encounters as she matures, ranging from but not limited to family problems, cheating boyfriends, imprisonment, and rape, which mold her into the woman she becomes. Enitan is forced to grow up as an only child after the death of her brother under the strict guardianship of her overprotective parents' political and religious beliefs. While trying to find herself amidst all the chaos, fate throws her in the path of sassy and rebellious Sheri, and together they form a chaotic pair. Seffi writes the story of both girls; one who is set to bend the system while the other is prepared to break it. Written in the voice of Enitan, Everything Good Will Come tells the story of love, politics, prejudice, and friendship.

Thank you to the writer for her time and well thought out speech, which has been translated into a short story.
