Lets be honest, they did not make a historical accurate movie. They are not going to allow the all women fighters fight for slavery not against it. Also they are not going to show them as the incompetent bafoons that they were.
But clown world marches own and a show that is not going to be in any way faithful to history is apparently the best thing ever.
Not sure what the exact timeframe of the movie is, but I'm betting they'll also leave out the Battle of Adégon, where the French launched a bayonet charge at a Dahomey force consisting primarily of Agojie. Over 500 Dahomey died, over 400 of which were women. 6 French died.
I heard 1820s. It's before the First Franco-Dahomean war, so it's unclear to me what the historical context for the film is, if any
Buffoon. Probably originated with a guy named Jean-Louis LeClerc, the Compte of Buffon, a natural historian who had evolutionary views well before Darwin - and was mocked for it.
I just thought it was a synonym for jester. Very educational, would have made a good Time squad episode. It reminds me of Earl of Sandwich
A completely fair and 100% organic score. No bias or politics from the reviewers in those scores.
Newspaper says record harvests, comrade.
If only there was a name for a woman version of a king.
In Jadwiga's case, it was basically a bit of legalese jigger-pigging to basically avoid what happened with Elizabeth I (as seems to me, at least), at least until the elites (moreso than The People, as usual) wrapped their heads around the idea of a ruling queen not giving up her birthright just because she got married for to continue the dynastic bloodline.
Me and dahomeys on our way to preserve slavery.
Ahistorical nonsense whitewashing (in the original sense of the word) a bunch of slave raiders.
Critics think its amazing. Meanwhile, Benin's neighbours are still asking them for reparations to this day.
FYI the movie is glorifying the blacks who enslaved other blacks and sold them to whites, LOL:
Also the "Dahomey Amazons" were scrubs who got wiped out in hand-to-hand combat against THE FRENCH:
Gee, maybe if the French can K/D you at 84:1 maybe it's because women can't fight for shit.
They can only get away with this because Siskel & Ebert are both dead. /and no one has replaced them.
The Critical Drinker has rarely led me astray.
I guess RT pro reviewers just really, really love the trans-atlantic slave trade.
Movies about matriarchal slaver societies are TIGHT!
Nobody cares about critic reviews. It's the user reviews that matter.
I beg to differ. The best metric is the contrast between critics and user score.
The only woman king I've ever heard of was a Polack. Why not make a movie about her?
Of course it does. It's a 100% historically accurate, perfectly made film...DUH
The fact that nobody is protesting this proves that all the racial movements are in feminism's pocket.
Brace for the SIMP army downvote onslaught.
I think it already arrived.
Lmao, comment and instantly down vote. Not that it really matters. Someone really likes you it seems.
It's the ConPro brigade.
