He was a communist. If you want to learn about fred hampton you need to not wait for hollewood to give you some liberalized version

There's like 2 people in here already who spend time calling socialists/communists dreamers and fairytale chasing dumbasses but real hype for a Hollywood movie about one. Don't add up.

Whether they get it all correct or not I’m sure they’ll do at least justice to his name. Watch the movie then critic all you want

So why are you waiting till 2021 when you have the resources now

This movie trailer made me want to learn more about this man so In a way it worked. Bout to do my homework today and so on but even then what says in Internet wont lie on his name ?

Crazy s*** but def not surprising. I'd bet they dont mention communism once. Just some speeches he made in a pretty backdrop

Looks amazing b

You can watch some speeches and read his most well known one. I'll gladly link them again and more

Do plz. He might of not had the best ideas but at least he was trying. At least he cared more about the urban areas more than there own govt . I know that much

Read this first

Then watch

My God, y'all complaining ass niggas are annoying. Movie isn't even out, but already calling it an "action movie" based off a trailer and saying what's going to happen.

The director/writer was involved in directing/writing Random Acts Of Flyness. A show that had no problems showcasing radical black thought and going after white people.

The talent behind it doesn't even warrant such hostility but type away.

Forgive us if we dont really expect liberal media to accurately showcase the ideas and life of a revolutionary who was speaking about international proletarian revolution

U had me thinking Terrence nance was doing it for a second. I got real hyped

Given that this is not a documentary and only inspired by true events...I don't expect 100% accurate representation but I do have knowledge of the creators previous work and I at least feel comfortable that he's handling the project.

Would have been dope but he worked on a few episodes.

I’m interviewing nance brother this weekend who wrote a few episodes as well. Such a great show

Also good reading material in that thread

For Chairman Fred Hampton Jr., the son of the main character in the film, he talked about how it was entrusting these filmmakers to tell his father’s story. “It wasn’t an easy conversation. Lots of days, nights and hours of dialogue; background checks — what we call taking people’s community credit cards,” he laughed.

“Legacy is more important to your life,” said Hampton. “We attempted to put the proverbial pill in the applesauce. Chairman Fred and the Black Panther Party was a revolutionary organization. It is a balancing act to get this relevant information that many people have been deprived of — not ‘role models’ but ‘real models’, those who came from the community and the impact that they had.”

Shaka King also said that it was a balancing act to make the film and addressed the challenges and responsibility to tell Hampton’s story. It was important to have Fred Jr. present on set every day even when it was difficult. There were times when they had to rewrite things on the fly to pay respect to the people involved in the story.

“I think, for me, it started with the intention of what we were trying to convey and choosing to tell this movie not just from the perspective from Chairman Fred but also to include William O’Neal,” he said.

“To me, the movie is, in a lot of ways, the capitalist in William O’Neal and the socialist in Fred Hampton…and the coward in William O’Neal and the revolutionary in Fred Hampton,” he stated. “I try to attach judgment to both of those ideologies but most people fall somewhere in between. You want to make a movie where the audience watches it and walks away questioning ‘Where do I fall between those two?'”

I read that speech and saw the vids. I saw nothing wrong. Mans a genius and going to do more research

he gonna win an award

To me, the movie is, in a lot of ways, the capitalist in William O’Neal and the socialist in Fred Hampton…and the coward in William O’Neal and the revolutionary in Fred Hampton,” he stated. “I try to attach judgment to both of those ideologies but most people fall somewhere in between. You want to make a movie where the audience watches it and walks away questioning ‘Where do I fall between those two?'”

Just based off this quote alone I know this film will be centrist garbage. We don't need a fred hampton movie arguing for capitalism
