The fact that Ryan Coogler has been successful in his blockbuster adventures such as ‘Creed’ or ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ has its positive side, giving life and a certain personality to these kinds of productions. But he has also deprived us of seeing what else he could have offered us after ‘Fruitvale Station’ that is not a franchise, perhaps developing some original films with some adult film ambition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We’ll never know, but it’s fun to fantasize when his name pops up as a producer of those kinds of movies, which he hands over to others like Shaka King. This is the specific case of ‘Judas and the black messiah’, a powerful thriller that was in the orbit of awards such as the Oscars<\/strong> although its values \u200b\u200bmake it perfectly suitable for outside those circuits. His arrival at HBO Max is the perfect opportunity to confirm this.<\/p>\n

The film gave Daniel Kaluuya an Oscar for his portrayal of Fred Hampton, the inspiring black leader and activist forged within the Black Panthers. His figure dominates the story, although he takes the perspective of the character played by Lakeith Stanfield, a criminal who becomes an undercover agent for the FBI to collaborate in the investigation against the organization and against Hampton<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A devastating and sad story<\/strong> which shows the extremes of government security forces in trying to silence revolutions and preserve the status quo. The film tells it in a fast-paced way, far from the conventions of the biopic and exuding more of the spirit of a pure and black thriller from the seventies, making it a bit of a rarity among the nominees for Best Picture of that year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Removing the theme, it is a film that would perfectly fit Sidney Lumet or one of the other master craftsmen who had more facilities to make these films in the New Hollywood era. Now, this movie stands as one of those small threats towards adult cinema<\/strong> that are relegated to the festival period to have relevance.<\/p>\n

‘Judas and the black messiah’: urgent thriller and electric protagonists<\/h2>\n

But there are many more reasons to see it outside of that context. Shaka King’s direction is very effective and forceful, as well as sober with her careful visual details. She also shines in a remarkable direction of actors, which allows Kaluuya and Stanfield to form an electric duo that you cannot miss when they appear on the screen and reaffirms them as two of the stars of the moment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The rage with which he decides to tell this story of anti-rebellion, of moral lukewarmness and collaborationism, results in a film loaded with urgency<\/strong> that continually demands your attention. Removing some bumps in the rhythm, ‘Judas and the black messiah’ stands as a remarkable production, telling things that should be known while still looking like a movie. electrifying.<\/p>\n
