responses to question: "what films do you want to see but don't have the emotional capacity for yet?"
mydailytorment I highly recommend sylvie's love on prime. It's like breakfast at Tiffany's for black ppl w/o ignoring the history of the time but the pain of the time not being the focus. Hope that made sense. K byee
ishayasheltonblackfilm Judas and the Black Messiah was a lot for me I really thought I was emotionally ready to watch it but it was really upsetting. But I don’t deny that it was a good movie..I believe these kinds of movies need to be made so the truth can be seen in a way that can’t be refuted. Instead of just being triggered, I tried to channel that energy into learning more about the situation and about Fred Hampton & that helped ease some of the frustration I felt.
ladymazzyblackfilm I haven't been able to watch Fruitvale Station yet. Tried so many times, but can't do it yet
blobsacamano If Beale street could talk. I know it’s beautiful and I love Barry Jenkins but I don’t want to cry
dynamodandridge 1)If Beale Street Could Talk 2)When They See Us 3) Pariah - like I want to watch but I just do not have the emotional capacity to handle them right now
lov3ofdarkn3ss Honestly, none. It appears that most Black films/series are overly emotional and symbolic. Theres very little sense of realism

eclectifyladyblackfilm The Black Messiah, Antebellum, Harriet, If Beale Street Could Talk, Moonlight
nachewrull 2 of your 3 are mine—When They See Us and Fruitvale Station. I do still plan on seeing them both.
insanelyweirdmind I still haven't finished the first episode of When They See Us and the 13th documentary has been saved in my list for 2 years now
lessshymorefly Relatable. I saw Fruitvale Station, but I haven’t watched When They See Us, nor Judah. I haven’t watched 13th, If Beale Street Could Talk or Self Made (Madame CJ Walker).
