“Captain America: Brave New World” not only not only Glue a continuation of the end in its final loansIt also contains a “special thanks” to a beloved actor. Is it Star Anthony Mackie or the “Brave New World” MVP Harrison Ford? No, it is someone who doesn’t even play in the film. Any assumptions?
It is Octavia Spencer who played the leading role in “Captain America 4” director Julius Onah’s earlier film “Luce”. Speak in the People Magazine, Onah revealed why he thanked Spencer next to his actual family and the Stan Lee Foundation. According to Onah, he may not have staged the film if it hadn’t helped him. He explained:
“Octavia is the biggest. I am such a fan of her, and when the conversation about this film was held, she gave me a friendly words with Kevin Feige and also spoke to (Anthony) Mackie. She is only really friendly , incredibly talented person, and I really wanted to acknowledge what a great supporter she was in the past of me and other filmmakers. “
“Brave New World” didn’t get the best reviewsNot his last genre film “The Cloverfield Paradox” either. Onah’s work on “Luce”, by far his best film, proves that his talent is best served by smaller but more significant, actor-controlled films.
Octavia Spencer previously played a key role in Julius Onahs Luce
Octavia Spencer has been dealing professionally since the 1990s, but was a well-known name after her Oscar winner in “The Help” 2011. This film, which worked for black women in Mississippi in the 1960s, deserved Criticism (even from his own Star Bryce Dallas Howard) for linking of supposed progressivism. How appropriate this Spencer was later in “Luce”, which criticizes the boundaries of the white rescuers as a liberator.
“Luce” is named after his main character (Kelvin Harrison Jr., in one of the 10 films he played between 2018 and 2019). Luce is a former child soldier from Eritrea, which was adopted by Amy and Peter Edgar (Naomi Watts and Tim Roth) – now he is a star athlete and student with a brilliant future. Until his teacher Harriet Wilson (Spencer) reads and disturbs an essay by Luce. In his letter, Luce praises the Afro-Caribbean revolutionary Frantz Fanon and his arguments that violence is sometimes needed for social change.
Harriet frames her concern about the Edgars that Luce is still traumatized and not completely depressed from his childhood spent in war. But when Luce and Harriet start a cat mouse game, it becomes clear that she is trying to train him in what is acceptable for a “model minority” before you lose this reputation.
After all, Luce is So Accepted by the White Society, he is literally part of the family. Harrison even resembles the popular black man of every white liberal, the former president Barack Obama, and I am sure that this was not a coincidence of the casting. But the black revolutionaries praised who fought for systematic changes that would destroy racist hierarchies? This is a no-no, too scary, even for the well-intentioned whites like the Edgars. The work of Onah and Spencer on “Luce” requires how “Brave New World” examines the experience of being black in America.
“Captain America: Brave New World” is currently playing in cinemas.
