GREEN BOOK & BLACK PANTHER: Revisiting racist Sixties America, reimagining colonial Africa

Black Panther

Along the way, very curiously, Wakanda’s salvation comes through the unlikely intervention and assistance of a CIA agent, as well as the dizzyingly deft military skills of those aforementioned Amazon guards. Due to the casting of both John Kani and Atandwa Kani in supporting roles in this film, besides English, the Wakandaese, Wakandaoise, or Wakandians sometimes speak actual isiXhosa, rather than the more usual Hollywood gobble-gobble that so often substitutes for an actual African language.

In this second film, it is 1962, and the very talented classical pianist, Don Shirley, a proud but aloof, seemingly emotionless African-American, is about to embark on a two-month concert tour by car from New York City through the American Midwest and then on into the Deep South. His concert tour is due to wind up just before Christmas. Although events are compressed and dramatically heightened, it is, at its heart, a true tale.

Along the journey, Vallelonga introduces Shirley to a new slice of American life — from real Kentucky fried chicken eaten with the hands, to the music of the likes of Chubby Checker; while Shirley tutors Vallelonga on how to write to his wife during their lengthy trip in a way that actually expresses his inner feelings.
