It’s complicated: the original version of the script might have been set during the antebellum period (as with the Joel Chandler Harris stories), but rewrites made it post-war, vaguely. The original script was more racist, but that is a whole other story. #JudasAndTheBlackMessiah #HATM

As with Killers of the Flower Moon and the Watchmen miniseries, this proves the power of film for bringing attention to forgotten bits of history. I didn't know much about the Black Panthers before but learned a lot, and its good to these things from time to time. #JudasAndTheBlackMessiah #HATM

Guess Who's Coming To Dinner came out two years before this takes place (1967) poking fun at the absurdity of these conversations, and yet here we are. #JudasAndTheBlackMessiah #HATM

I mean, they got Al Capone on taxes. They'll take anything they can get...

The fear of moles, while not unfounded, is one of the things that breaks up the movement over the years - Alex Rackley was never comfirmed as an FBI informant, and there were other intra-Party killings that were more the result of interpersonal conflicts. #JudasAndTheBlackMessiah #HATM

As in The Matrix, the steak is emblematic of the corruptibility of man in pursuit of simple earthly pleasures (that particular Judas fails to kill that Messiah, however). #JudasAndTheBlackMessiah #HATM

MLK was 39 when assassinated (though 26 during the Montgomery Bus Boycotts ), Medgar Evers was 37 when he was assassinated, Malcolm also 39...what might Hampton have done with another decade or two, but perhaps that is why the FBI fears him. #JudasAndTheBlackMessiah #HATM

Margaret Chase Smith would be a great movie - a lot of potential following her during the Red Scare, where she was one of the folks to challenge Joe McCarthy's scare-mongering. #JudasAndTheBlackMessiah #HATM

He's definitely a major turning point - he had the charisma and organizing acumen that might have changed the world, hence the fear the FBI had of him. #JudasAndTheBlackMessiah #HATM

This is a rare film with no lead actor: LaKeith Stanfield and Daniel Kaluuya (who won) were both nominated for Best Supporting Actor, probably due to Oscar voters splitting the vote on the shortlist ballots: variety.com/2021/awards/...

Judas and the Black Messiah was a victim of COVID, pushed from an August 2020 release to February 2021, when it opened in second against Croods 2. It managed $7.5 million against a $26 million budget, almost exactly one year after COVID broke out. #JudasAndTheBlackMessiah #HATM

Fred Hampton was 21. Bill O’Neal was 19. Two young men, two Americas. One taught to fight oppression, the other taught to fear it. History isn’t black and white; it’s layered, human, and painfully familiar. #BlackHistory #FredHampton #JudasAndTheBlackMessiah #CivilRightsLegacy #COINTELPRO
