Though the slave trade between West Africa’s warring tribes serves as foreground in ‘The Woman King,’ the film’s main message to me it seems is about womanhood and sisterhood, it’s about the roles that women play, and the heights that women can climb in a society dominated by an almost exclusively male rule, a rule in which women were treated as the property of men.
i feel critical of of the women warrior archetype being pushed in so many films. i feel like it is itself a reactionary prison to try to invert the hierarchy of male and female, and make the woman ‘king’. it is still dependent on the symbolic structure it is trying to subvert. not that a woman can’t be a warrior. aren’t there feminine archetypes that can be highlighted more instead of women being thrust into masculine ones?
Just want everyone to know that Oli London, who identified as a Korean girl and used his internet $$ for facial plastic surgery, has de-transitioned. A real ahead of the curve type, he's now out all over declaring how wonderful it is to be a Christian child of god and all done with that other stuff, what was I thinking.

I'm glad that I saw this review. A good critical look is so much more valuable than some Tomatometer. Given the previews, I didn't think this was worth seeing. Now I know what to look for.
