#Till 2022

The Emmett Till movie conversation is going to have a lot of differing sides to it. While there are some who don't want to see a movie about a child who was brutally murdered, the film does not focus on the actual killing of Till, and is actually a movie that his family has been trying to get made for years. It focuses on the aftermath of Emmett's death, and who he was as a person through the words of his mother.

I promise it is not the 'black trauma' film people are thinking it is. And I completely understand WHY people would not want to see it but I just know there are many talking points that are going to come from this.

The Academy can't seem to walk and chew gum at the same time.

A great year of acknowledging Asian talent. Historic, even (see all categories, not just this one lol). But no Viola Davis or Danielle Deadwyler in the Lead Actress category? No Lashana Lynch in the supporting actress category? No Keke Palmer anywhere? No women in the Best Director category? Wakanda Forever and The Woman King shut out of Best Picture?

And, listen, I'm not asking about your opinion on any of these performances or films. There's no need for that debate on this post. The conversation about snubs and shut outs stem from year-long conversation about contenders in these categories and what we expect to see versus what we actually see. That's all.

"TILL Movie Review | BEST & WORST Theater Experience Ever! Give DANIELLE DEADWYLER The Oscar Now!"

A powerfully emotional review of Till (2022). Even if you don't watch the film (I don't plan to), this review is absolutely worth watching. He goes into not just the acting and directing, but also the historical impact and legacy if this historical event.

I know I have said before that I don't want to hear white people's critiques on black art, but I have just had enough of this thing that is going on right now between the violence portrayed on screen towards black people and people of colour and the white response to it

This film about Emmett Till is being labelled as "historically inaccurate" because there are no scenes that recount the series of racist events before he died and they didn't show him getting killed.

This review infuriates me so much. I am very confident in knowing that white people do indulge in seeing violence towards black people.

I've always known this, but with the recent series about Jeffery Dahmer and how many white people were coming out to say they were not phased by any of the violence the people of colour on that show faced I can definitely say there is some truth to this

I would like to say I wish I didn't understand why Kate Erbland (the writer of this review) doesn't understand why this entire movie was so hard for Mamie (Emmett Till's mother), as she didn't want to relive thosr events, but I can't say that is the truth for me.

I truly believe it is part of the lack of empathy white people have when it comes to discussing racism and the violence black people face, or when they do feel any kind of sympathy it is only when they are included in the narrative or they take what is being said personally,

and the context of this being, the reason for Till's death was because he was falsely accused by a white woman of whistling at her, and the thing most insidious about this is Emmett Till was a CHILD (14 years old) when this happened, so to see a white woman disregard a film because we are not show the death of a teenager makes this so much worse.

And also proves that white people will truly only have empathy when they see black people get brutalized otherwise there is no sympathy at all or they are completely unphased by it because they view lack of humanity in us.

and the fact that this review was written by a white woman shows there is a chance that Erbland feels more sympathy for Carolyn Bryant because white people tend to feel more sympathy for a white person who are the perpetrators of or are complacent in the violence and especially when it is a white woman

(e.g. when challenging the idea that white women were simply passive bystanders to the slave economy in the US and instead demonstrated their active participation in its structures of brutality and exploitation, it is sometimes met with people, notably white women who call it a act of misogyny to point it out)

But I can't make too many assumptions but it is so tiring and infuriating to continue to see white people see the deaths of black people as commodities and entertainment.
