Robert Jordan was the Tolkien of his time. The Wheel of Time series is a fantastic epic and I hope Amazon does it justice. I’ll be updating my review at a later date!
I haven't cried this much over a movie in a long time. This is one of those films that feels larger than its medium, jumps out at you and grabs that which makes you human. I can't believe it didn't get a single Oscar nomination. This deserved enough hype to make everyone around the world tune in to watch it. Vital, immense and so so so important. And of course, memorable performances from Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx who delivered arguably the best supporting performance of 2019.
A great movie that's based on a true story that still rings true to this day. African Americans are incarcerated 5x more than whites and are given 3x longer jail sentences than white people that commit the same crimes. It's sad that In 2020, a person skin complexion can still be a factor in society.
Anyway, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx were phenomenal in this movie.
It highlights the shocking social injustice that some people receives. I am glad that there are people fighting for them, The story is emotional and very gripping. The film just shows how messed up our judicial system is and does a great job with good acting and story telling.
I used to run home from school to watch this! Classic, must see animated series.
