PPC - The Woman King

September 22, 2022 • TheBassSisters

The Bass Sisters talk about their #TheWomanKing experience. The film, with its primarily Black female cast led by #ViolaDavis, is receiving mixed reviews.

The Bass Sisters celebrate the depiction of mentally and physically STRONG black female characters because they believe that representation matters.

But here's the kicker...ideological representation matters to them as well. This is why if given a choice to vote between a white man who shares their views on the horrors of abortion, the power of school choice, or the importance of parental rights over a black woman who did not share their opinions on those subjects...they would vote for the white man who shares their political world view because IDEOLOGICAL representation matters.

The Bass Sisters also point out why boycotting this film because it is not 100% accurate is an unwise exercise. First, when is film EVER 100% accurate? Second, if The Woman King doesn't do well at the box office, it will be another generation or more before we can see an intelligent action film with wise and beautiful sunkissed talent.

So be sure to like, share and follow. Oh yeah, and ....Don't live in an echo chamber.
