Review : Judas and the Black Messiah (2021)

The buzz surrounding Judas and the Black Messiah has been massive, so much so to the point that even my father recently asked me if I was hip to it.  It’s odd how COVID-19 and the year 2020 rewired us in ways we didn’t even realize, but I am just now understanding how long it has been since I truly anticipated a movie release date like this one.  With the film falling squarely in the heart of Black History Month and focusing on the sad and tragic death of Fred Hampton, it seemed like a no-brainer to jump into this one at the first opportunity possible.

Despite their intentions to protect and educate their impoverished communities, the Black Panther Party finds themselves targeted by J. Edgar Hoover (Martin Sheen), the F.B.I. and COINTELPRO in an effort to undermine and destroy the group.  After he is caught impersonating an F.B.I. agent in an attempt to steal a car from a Black Panther party member, petty criminal Bill O’Neal (Lakeith Stanfield) finds himself assigned as an F.B.I. informant tasked with infiltrating the Chicago chapter of the Black Panther Party in hopes of getting him close to Fred Hampton (Daniel Kaluuya) so that he can report back to F.B.I. Agent Roy Mitchell (Jesse Plemons), his handler.  O’Neal quickly finds himself in Hampton’s inner circle, but due to O’Neal’s checkered past interactions with the criminals that the Black Panthers are trying to turn to their side, O’Neal finds himself under intense scrutiny from both sides.  Meanwhile, Hampton begins to make true inroads by uniting Black, White and Puerto Rican groups in Chicago under the banner of erasing oppression, and with each step in the right direction, the F.B.I.-based target on his back grows.

Framing the film as flashbacks and recollections of Bill O’Neal that occur during an interview taping for the very real Eyes on the Prize documentary immediately drives home way that O’Neal is split between two sides of a war on ideals.  O’Neal is literally forced to be two different people depending on whom he is associating with at any given time, and based on this lifestyle, there is never a true moment where we see him at ease or laid-back, which helps root the narrative tension that walks viewers up to the sad and inevitable ending.  All the while, we are also shown just how many irons the F.B.I. had in the fire, to the point that the left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing.

What really makes the film work is the authenticity in regards to the area and the era in which the film takes place.  Chicago had an infamous history in regards to the Black Panther Party, but the film does a good job of making sure that people understand that the Crowns, the Gangster Disciples and the Black P-Stone Rangers all had just as much influence on the community at the time.  The echoes of the tragedies that beset the Civil Rights Movement are continually brought up in the film, along with several moments focusing on other icons of the Black Panther Party and their current state of affairs.  The way that the movement devolves into chaos, courtesy of the police and F.B.I., helps viewers understand why so many inner-city locations are in the state that they’re still in, and clarifies to those who don’t know how the goal was always to destabilize the disenfranchised.

For a film about such a cold and calculated assassination of a political figure that spoke for the streets, the visual tone is incredibly warm and inviting, and the juxtaposition is stark enough to keep viewers glued to the screen.  It also helps establish the downfall of the party, as the warmness gradually fades form the film, leaving it bathed in blacks and blues.  The film mostly focuses on ideals and political philosophy, but when it finds itself in the realm of action is does not disappoint... the depictions of conflict between the police and the Panthers feel like guerilla warfare in their rawness.  Only the best songs from the era are chosen for the soundtrack, which leaves room for the moving and emotional film score to do it’s job by pulling us into the depths with those struggling to survive and stay afloat.

For the most park, Daniel Kaluuya tends to play reserved and withdrawn characters, and at times he channels this in his performance, but he also proves himself more than capable of achieving the fire, passion and gravitas it takes to portray an iconic leader like Fred Hampton.  Lakeith Stanfield maneuvers through the film like a mouse dancing around traps, trying his best not to be caught while edging closer and closer to springing the demise of his downfall, with all of the paranoia one imagines would come with this set of circumstances.  Jesse Plemons keeps his eyes on the prize (no pun intended) with an unwavering and statuesque dedication to the end game, all the while feigning the least amount of care it takes to convince O’Neal.  Dominique Fishback brings much needed tenderness to the a film full of strife, tension and double-crossing intentions, helping to soften the razor-sharp edginess present.  Ashton Sanders, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Algee Smith, Jermaine Fowler and Dominique Thorne all step up to the plate and do the Black Panther Party justice in their portrayals of their respective group members.  Martin Sheen brings his stature to the table in his role a J. Edgar Hoover, and supporting appearances by Lil Rel Howery, Robert Longstreet, Terayle Hill, Amari Cheatom, Caleb Eberhardt and Mark Francis fill things out.

Shaka King really and truly stepped up to the plate for this historical drama.  Based on the production of this film versus the date it was released, I am unsure of where it will fall in terms of awards consideration, but I hope that it is cued up for next year, because I can see a Best Director nomination for King, a Best Picture nomination, and perhaps even a Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor win for Stanfield.  Regardless of what accolades this film may or may not achieve, it is almost certain to go down in history as an important film.

Review : Halloween Kills (2021)

Even if it overstayed its welcome a bit, and restarted one too many times for the likes of most, Halloween as a franchise owes nothing to anyone.  Maybe that’s what made my first time viewing of the 2018 direct sequel to the 1978 classic so special, as the creative time behind it clearly held the original film in reverence and created their offering in the hopes of making a coherent and enjoyable legacy that purist fans can follow.  Interestingly enough, this initial viewing (and its callbacks to the original), as enjoyable as they were, still left enough room for interpretation that a few story points went right over my head... that is, until I got going with Halloween Kills.

The lateral expansion and exploration of the 1978 and 2018 entries in a parallel fashion works well, especially in light of the fact that Halloween Kills literally picks up in the same moments that concluded the 2018 Halloween film.  Speaking of, many people found it unnecessarily confusing that the 2018 film chose to title itself identically to the 1978 classic, but with the provided context of Halloween Kills, it’s now crystal clear that the 2018 entry was less of a sequel to its 1978 counterpart and more of a pickup after a 40 year pause.  In this light, Halloween Kills feels like a sequel in both spirit and scope, be it the way that Laurie and her family are given new layers, the revelations surrounding Deputy Hawkins, or the Twilight Zone-esque descent into madness that consumes Haddonfield and serves as the narrative spine.  Out of this central theme, Halloween Kills goes into deep dives on mob mentality, repressed retribution from the victimized survivors of the terror that Michael Myers caused with his past actions, and/or most importantly, the exploitation of fear as a tool for control and power.

Halloween Kills also manages to expand the lore of Michael Myers without going to illogical extremes, with the most powerful expansion of all being a key moment in the creation of the current version revealing itself as a half-truth.  The self-awareness that gave Halloween 2018 its depth continues in Halloween Kills, with callbacks to the original narrative not only being continued, but literally sewn in to the presented story via repurposed footage.  The self-awareness is also present in terms of the film knowing that it is a sequel, particularly in the large ensemble cast, the insanely raised stakes and the over the top body count.  A nice added touch was the way that a collective agreement became present to save Laurie from herself... it definitely makes sense considering her condition in the wake of facing Michael Myers head on, but it feels bittersweet from the outside looking in, as her lack of knowledge created a false bliss and set up a bomb drop built around the denial of closure. 

As previously mentioned, there is a nearly seamless integration of footage from the 1978 Halloween film, and with the color-timing choices made overall, the entire film benefits from looking and feeling like its classic counterpart.  I must also double-down on my love for this film to embrace its nature as a sequel, with the kills being highly stylized and more spectacular, while the body count is raised to a dizzying degree.  The growth of the cast feels natural in the way that they all keep the heart of the story in their sights while letting their presence help feed the overall sense of panic and paranoia, making it grow in a way where tension stacks upon itself into a tower ready to crumble at a moment’s notice.  The updated set design on the Myers house is a nice touch as well, as it drapes a very familiar location in a reskin with plenty of personality. 

Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer and Andi Matichak all pick right up where they left off with Halloween 2018, moving forward with all of their post-traumatic stress that is amplified by their Earth-shattering discovery of the fact that Michael Myers is still alive, especially in the way that the uber-talented Greer‘s Karen essentially evolves into her final form of what Laurie was attempting to make her.  Anthony Michael Hall kicks the alpha instincts into gear as the mob leader, serving as a parallel terrifying presence to that of Michael Myers despite his stance as a protagonist and former victim.  Of all those that portray former victims, Robert Longstreet gives the most moving performance as he redeems the slander laid upon his name in the 2018 edition.  Dylan Arnold expands his character from a lustful, flippant and ignorant boyfriend character to a protector in the making hoping he can keep his girlfriend safe.  Omar Dorsey and Charles Cyphers capture the lack of foresight that impedes authority in a panic situation, standing as a voice of reason versus a voice of revenge conflict existing in the midst of a much larger conflict.  Kyle Richards and Marion Chambers also bring in the trauma-based energy as former Michael Myers victims, allowing their need for revenge to create interesting fight or flight reactions in the face of their elongated terror.  Carmella McNeal, Michael Smallwood, Scott McArthur, Michael McDonald, Brian F. Durkin, David Lowe and many, many more help fill out the fanatical and fantastic world of Halloween Kills. 

There is something poetic about Halloween Kills that, in my opinion, will most likely be read as either camp or fan service by the deeply cynical viewers of today.  With the 2018 edition setting up the return of Michael Myers as a showdown between he and Laurie, the poetry comes in the way that Halloween Kills unfolds the trauma, turns it into a collective madness, and all the while, allows Myers to remain his terrifying self while actually maintaining to build a sense of sympathy for his plight, making his eventual homecoming that much more powerful in terms of its subtext... in a way (and forgive me in advance for this level of corniness), the biggest threat that Michael Myers imposed was upon himself, and everything we’ve seen is a result of this.
