Until we understand and we believe that the conspiracy is a fact and not a theory, we will always be under subjection.
Panther is the beginning of the education. Excellent start.If Your Afraid of Panther Your Afraid of Yourself Simply the finest (late night) fick ever to be made. I'm down with Panther, "down like four flats on a dump." In my opinion, all those poor reviews by the man, was just another case of him putting his billyclub up side our head.
The whole premise of Panther is what America is based on -Revolution against the opressor. (or in our prejudices, did we forget that the Monarchy in England had his billy club up side our heads till we decided to something about it.)
"What do we want?" "Justice!" Justice for all the poor reviews that came out on this Flick. Anything less than 5 stars is counter-revolutionary.

This movie is like "Malcolm X" in bringing neglected history to life, but more enjoyable to watch. This is an especially good movie to show to teenagers. My African-American stepson was glad to see black people standing up for themselves effectively, especially the Capitol "takeover". So much of the civil rights era history shows or tells about black people being mistreated, beaten, and killed, it was great balance to see what the Panthers accomplished in their heyday.
This is an entertaining and informative movie for teenagers and adults. You can always follow up to get more details by reading if you're interested.
By the way, the R rating is appropriate, but this movie is not a "hard R." I think those 13 and up will have little trouble with it. Adults should watch the movie with teenagers so as to be able to talk about it afterward.
