Here is a link to watch it free online with English subtitles.

Just as a warning, it is a little violent, some horses are killed during the battles, and there is a scene where Wentai cuts open his wrist. It is a very good movie, I just finished watching it and would recommend everyone watch it.

Meagan Good and Tamara Bass Launch Indiegogo Campaign for Feature Film

Meagan Good (Minority Report, Think Like a Man) and writer-actress Tamara Bass (Baby Boy, All That Matters) are currently raising funds for their upcoming film, If Not Now, When?

The film tells the story of friendship, love and new beginnings, and revolves around four friends, Suzanne (Good), Patrice (Bass), Tyra (TBD) and Deidre (TBD), who have been friends since meeting at 14. Over the course of their lives, fights, disagreements and love have caused friction and distance to manifest between some of them, particularly Suzanne and Patrice, who haven’t spoken in almost 15 years. When Tyra, who is mother to 14 year old Jillian (TBA), suffers a crisis, all four women are drawn back together to make it through, and soon discover that they also need each other, and that sisterhood, to make it through what is currently happening in their individual lives.

If Not Now, When? will be produced through Bass and Good’s production company, Krazy Actress Productions. In addition to Good and Bass, Sway Calloway (MTV News) will serve as executive producer, and James Perry, an up and coming music composer out of London, will compose the film.

“As we began to formulate the types of projects we wanted to put into the world, we kept coming back to the fact that we haven’t seen enough movies with women of color that promoted sisterhood, explored everyday struggles and displayed our hearts. While there have been a few, in recent years, the number is so far and few in between, we felt we could do something about it. And in order for our stories to be told…someone has to tell them.”

people need to take a step back before they criticize The Danish Girl. people are again hating on the film because 1. cis actor (Eddie Redmayne) is playing a transgender character and 2. they think the trans community is not being well represented by Lili’s (the trans woman in the film) actions

lemme stop you right there

the whole plot of the film is Redmayne’s character finally discovering and coming to terms with his true gender identity. in the beginning of the film, Lili is still Einar, a man living a cisgender life. then throughout the film, Einar begins to transition into Lili. what do you expect to happen? do you want a transitioned trans woman to play a cisgender male in the beginning of the film just so the trans character would be played by a trans actor? do you want a cis actor to play Einar, but a trans actor to play Lili?? it just doesn’t make sense.

for fucks sake people this is a biopic. it’s history. it’s not Hollywood trying to make transgender people look bad or problematic with a fictional story, it’s telling the true story of Lili Elbe, one of the first documented cases of gender reassignment surgery

again, Hollywood is not a perfect business. but I think they should be praised and respected for their efforts to represent the trans community
