Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * *

Cast: Letitia Wright, Angela Bassett, Lupita Nyong’o, Daniel Gurira, Winston Duke, Tenoch Huerta, Martin Freeman, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Dominque Thorne, Florence Kasumba, Michaela Coel, Mabel Cadena.

As a mark of respect to the late Chadwick Boseman, the tribute to a fine actor’s work, should not be in question, but maybe the timing of the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the way in which the focus was shifted on as one of Marvel’s true great and Golden Age heroes was almost relegated in his pedigree and scope, or even in the way that as a finale to a phase it was messed around should all be given sharp focus on how not to give the excellent Ryan Coogler short shrift when it comes to storytelling.

To own another human being is an abhorrence.

It is a statement of fact, a truth that is universal, and yet often ignored by those by whose own admission they see it is a right, an admission declared for all to see without a shred of shame in their hearts, that to enslave a person, another human being, is to attain a status…it is sick, depraved, and yet still goes on in the world. Across all cultures, men, women, children, all creeds, all colours, slavery is business.

Living is a matter of taste. The varied list of options upon the great smorgasbord of life is one that we either dip in and out of, or depending on the pound on our pocket, might entice us to try a different flavour just for the experience; all this is natural, we eat our way through existence to discovery joy and hold memories firm.
