The Woman King - So woke, you will need a case of melatonin to sleep.

The Woman King seems like an awkward name for a movie title, since the one female king I know was called Joan of Arc. I know there are others, but she was notable for she accomplished a lot even though she died so young.

It’s now labeled as “alternative history” on review sites, so they are definitely trying to cover their tracks in the sleaziest way possible.

Damn. I was really hoping this was an A24 level bait and switch where the trailer mischaracterizes the movie to get butts in seats...to watch a 3 hour movie about the woman king being a vicious slaver, with as much uncomfortable brutality on screen as possible.
 
#boycottWomanKing is trending. It's the majority of Black Twitter making it trend.

Based on the Dahomey nation. They sold other African's into slavery during the time the movie takes place. But I don't think the movie will mention that.

The film was marketed almost like clickbait. The trailer makes it look like a group of Africans are fighting off a group of Europeans attempting to enslave them. However in reality it's a 2014-era feministy story about how the men of their country wanna keep doing slavery but the women wanna abolish it. The Europeans are barely in it and the central conflict of the film is related to another African tribe they're fighting. It still does make the people of Dahomey seem more competent than they actually were though and heavily downplays the level of violence and misery they perpetuated. It also neglects to mention the fact that during this era of history they were under constant pressure and attack from the Europeans who demanded they stop enslaving people.

The analogy I can make is it's like if they made a movie about a group of female German soldiers during WW2 who are okay with Jews and wanna shift the political rhetoric away from the whole Jew thing. And never bring up things like the gas chambers or concentration camps. It's a very strange film in this respect since there's countless African stories from this century where you don't have to use such apologist rhetoric. Like Blood Diamond is about the actual irl diamond mining industry and how it manipulates the population. You could very easily make a similar film about mining a lot of other substances in Africa like cobalt.

Reading online synopsis they go full buck breaking and actually flipped the relations with another african nation to make it the abuser rather than victim of the enslaving amazons. It's really the most current year shit with a country having female warriors making the world bend over to portray it as morally right.
