 When you ready to talk, you talk. Don't ever let nobody make you be quiet. I ain't name you star by accident. Alright another movie about racism in the system of white supremacy in America. My name is Brandi Keith Avery and This is just my opinion. Hey, what's going on everyone? Thank you so much for tuning in to my epin slash review for the hate you give I really do appreciate it. Now I'm a little bit late to this party. Sorry about that But rather be late than never and what the hate you give if you didn't notice by the title already Each of the first letters of each word in their title spell out the word thug I really do like the representation now. I really do like what that title means Basically just what but whatever black people do whether we are acting as the perceived thugs Which is a stereotype or we're a doctor and a lawyer and assimilate and do everything that we're supposed to do You know, no matter what they're gonna see us as black first and treat us as such and that's what this film delves into It devils into a lot of things that black Americans in the black community goes through It's basically like a real-life reenactment of what we go through when it comes to Police brutality. It's kind of interesting that 20th century fox would make this film But I will never forget that horrible family made a number of years ago called Exodus gods and kings, which is ridiculous, but you know, they're making this right here now I can't relate to a ton of things in this film. Of course, we're gonna talk about it I I just go ahead and say I liked it for the most part But there are some things that kind of did rub me the wrong way and of course we're going to get into all that When I looked up the director of this film I was very surprised it's George Tillman Jr. And I'm really shocked that I really haven't been paying attention to him before or before I saw this movie Because when I looked at his filmography, I mean pretty much everything he's done is fantastic I don't mean just like Oscar worthy. He's you know, just that great. He can't be that great But you know, he's dead done films like a soul food or cause we all seen that came out of 1997 Man of honor with Cuba good in june in 2000 Notorious in 2009 and that was a pretty good Notorious B.I.G movie the faster with the rock and the inevitable defeat of mr. Pete and star and Jennifer Hudson I do remember when that movie came out But I didn't see it So if you've seen that let me know the longest ride that really doesn't have to do with black people because all those previous films did There was a good one too and also he's directed like an episode or two of power and luke So, you know, this filmography or his filmography, excuse me, it's pretty good The writer of this film or it's based off of a book by Angie Thomas, which I haven't seen Of course some people like Ray you need to see the book before you see the movie But I always like to see a movie before I see the book and the screenplay was done by argy wells now I'm not really familiar with her with her work But I just I'm bringing it up because I noticed that she's a white woman Writing a screenplay For the hate you give that does nothing that deals with the black community and black Americans, you know So I don't know if that was for a reason or they just wanted to choose the best person for the job one of the things that I Don't want to say that this is a gripe that I had about the film But it's just something that I noticed is that kind of went hard in the paint with a few real-life things But they could have went harder when it comes to like racism in the system of white supremacy But when I was looking up a cover photo to put on my thumbnail for this video, I noticed that they had a little I Guess ending cater on the poster or the marketing that says common sense with a check mark great for families And I'm just like was that buffer necessary and I mean it was but this is something that I don't like about the Society that we live in is that when it comes to racism white supremacy and stuff the black Americans go through There's a buffer that needs to be presented like a preface or something a preface excuse me So well, okay, I know this deals with race, but you know, we're not gonna hit you too hard So it's okay. Okay. I guess our family can go see it now. I mean, that's just the way I'm interpreting it But you know, I could be wrong in my assessment there But if you have an opinion of yours, you know, please let me know But you know a first thing there's a ton of things that I want to talk about the first thing I want to talk about is the casting and let's talk about the casting first with the main actress a mandalay or mandala Steinberg now I'm a little on the fence with her casting first of all I will go ahead and say that I think that she did a fantastic job in the role And I am a fan of hers as far as her acting is concerned If you don't know her work. She's she was in the Hunger Games They came out a number of years ago. Of course, you've all heard of that film with Jennifer Lawrence But yeah, she was rude in that film She was also voices in a voice in the real to and I didn't see real to but she played Maddie and everything Everything and that was a pretty good movie. I did not see the darkest minds, but now that she's in She's in this movie the hatred give and the reason why I say I'm on the fence is because she's bi-racial I don't have nothing against bi-racials. I don't have nothing against my lottoes, you know, I'm saying more power to you You know, I'm saying I love you if you want to love me We can all love each other and work together not it so I don't have a problem with my north and not well Not minorities. I don't know why I said that I don't have a problem with bi-racials But at the same time when you take a bi-racial and you put them into a role that is specifically designed for a black American because Nobody in the world knows what we know and they can experience what we can experience now Yes, a mandalay in the general society. She will be seen as a black woman first, you know, no matter what But at the same time a bi-racial person is not black, you know, they are both, you know, so You know when it comes to you know casting like that like for you know, uh, John Boyega made his ignorant comment get him getting mad at Samuel Jackson He made that comment and then you have The crystal is he it was I don't know she was just in The what that movie was what I can't even talk. What is that movie the bad times at the uh, uh, um, I can't talk bad times at the alroyo hotel So you have this actress here Cynthia arivo who played darlin sweet in that movie. I had to look it up. You know, she's being played She's being cast as harry atutman. I'm not really cool with that. I'm not mad at the actor or the actress I'm mad at the studio for that Um, uh, david or yellow wall who played martin luther king and and uh selma, you know, that was directed by eva du verne I'm not really mad at the actor, but i'm mad at the uh at the studio I mean they even though they can do a great job in the role and amandla did here So I don't want to take anything away from her You know, I just feel like a black american just can identify with that more and really give that riveting performance That will get uh awards during award season And like I said her her performance was great Um, you know, so I don't want to take anything from her But there is another african sister in this movie to which I'll talk about That was not so great to me The reason why I also say I'm on the fence is because the casting could have been the it was great great casting as well Give him the subject material very beginning of this film And it's just one of the things that I love is the code switching that black people go through That you know when we're around white people, you know, we act and talk a certain way But then we're around ourselves, you know, we we act black or we act ourselves and we you know, we can let our hair down You know Figuratively speaking, you know and all that good stuff and sometimes Even when you're in the middle when you're on the line right there as a black man I'm I'm speaking for myself here. You still sometimes have a hard time identifying with either group In a sense, I'm gonna be personal right now I'm black. I have a black mother and I have a black father But majority of my life I went to a probably christian school where it was predominantly white people We only I only had like one black girl in my entire graduating senior class from fifth grade to My senior high school. I was with predominantly white people Second and third grade predominantly white people too. The difference in worlds is just crazy. Um, it just is and um With and you have a man a mandala steinberg's character. She is by racial in real life. So Not all by racial people, but a good chunk of them do have identity problems Uh, not blaming them, of course, but you know, they get rejected from the white side They get rejected from the black side at times. That's unfortunate, but that's just the reality of it So if you cast her and you do have black people in real life They do go to like predominantly white schools But then at home or when they go to church or karate practice or dance practice or whatever They run a bunch of black people. So they have to switch it up. So given that she is really by racial Uh, you know, she can relate to you know, not necessarily identifying fully with you know, a Certain group of people. So I'm kind of on the fence with that, you know, I'm happy with the casting But at the same time, you know, I'm not entirely in love with the but you know, she did do She did give a great job. Um, she is the one of the actress in this movie They had to go through the tragedy and watch her a friend get murdered And uh, you know, her name is star Carter. Her name is star st r r 2 r's and you know, her father named her that just because He felt that you know, she is a bright shining star and needs to use her name as a weapon as a voice And I really do appreciate that and that just kind of lets me know or reminds me I'm another great thing that I did like about this movie and the sense and dynamic of a family How powerful that is even though it is blended in this film and there's necessarily nothing wrong Well, I don't want to say necessarily. There's nothing wrong with that. I mean You should always aim to have a complete family. But at the same time, no one can control the universe Uh, you know, it is what it is and you know, as long as there's love in that household or wherever That's all that matters and the love in this family was really strong here In this film and that is one of the most things that I really did like about it because You know, if you have a strong black family, there's really they're pretty much unstoppable You know after Martin Luther King was assassinated by the u.s. Government Unfortunately, which was proved in 1995 They went after our families and to break it up and try to you know, take the father out of the home And feminized the man, you know, and that's why another reason I don't like black men and hollywood dressing up as women And doing stupid shit like that, you know, I'm saying there was none of that in this movie. I mean and you had A black father in this film by the name of Russell Hornsby who played Maverick Mav Carter and this film not this film This review may have like some slight spoilers One because I'm a little late to the party and two is that's just how I want to do it Um, you know, he was in the pan for a little bit, but he didn't make any excuses He was still there for his family, uh, you know, when the time came when it was necessary I I felt his pain and I felt his struggle of just not knowing what to do And the best way to handle a certain situation in the film But just knowing that he had to do something if you know, if you've seen the movie You know what I'm talking about kind of towards the end where his son wanted to go with him I mean, I was like he he can't just sit there. I mean he he he's torn. It's like Ah, Lee, I don't know what to do, but I got to do something like I feel him I I can I can relate to him there, you know, so, uh, you know, just uh, you know, pretty good, uh, cast so far You know, then we have Regina Hall Great performance. She was the mother of a mandala and just back to the casting of a mandala or mandalay It was just at one point, you know, you have your black mom right here And then your black father, but then you have a by waste child It kind of just clocking me out at the moment right there But you know at the same time I already explained that now Anthony Mackie was in this as well Common was in this film as a police officer And he was just getting on my nerve because he was Niggas playing in basically just caping for the white people or for policemen And now I'm not hating on white people and I'm not hating on policemen because I don't hate white people I don't hate policemen. I don't think all white people are bad I don't think all uh, I don't think all police are bad But the way he was niggas playing in this movie is just like he's uh holding the system of white supremacy Which people do do in real life. So, um, I do like that it was written into the film But it's damn frustrating It is and you know in this film right here I feel like I'm kind of jumping around when I'm supposed to be talking about casting You know globally and in this film, but globally in real life. There's only three classifications of people White people Non-white people and white supremacists and I'm gonna call out a few characters that kind of fit into that mode I don't necessarily want to say common's character was uh Was uh, you know in the white supremacist group as a black man, but he was close or whatever You know, I heard him tap dancing a little bit You know, he had them biscuits in his back pocket or whatever But I mean he did a great job, but it was just uh, it was a great representation of just you know Niggas playing and just like well, this is what the cops think That he could have a gun or he could have drugs or that we that could be inclusion And I'm just like man get the f out of here You know I'm saying it was also kind of just a little bit too on the nose the explanations that he was given You know because uh, it was just kind of breaking down like okay Well, if you're treating a black man like white or like that Why aren't you treating a white suspect like that either and you know, of course There was no logic or reason to it So there are really hitting a lot of the nails on the head as far as the the uh realism as far as like You know how it is in real life So, you know, I have to give them there give give it to them there now That's why uh issa ray is in this film as well and I hurt my hand. I think I'm bleeding Uh, but I'm sorry issa ray is in this film as well. Now, uh issa ray I forgot I could have looked it up But she I think she's a african or she may be completely from the Senegalese or whatever, but I just was not feeling her performance in this role In this film. I just really you know, she was a social justice warrior She was an attorney She was fighting for black people, but I just wasn't feeling it. I mean, I'm a fan of her work I I do watch the show show insecure I'm a season behind. I have not even started season three yet. I may start that today But I just wasn't feeling her performance. I just I don't know I mean that just kind of goes to me sound like when you have roles like this I just feel that they should be two for black americans Now, I don't want to see please don't put any ignorant comment like world child with bozeman is a uh african american And he was black panther. Well, that's fiction. That's not real. So we're talking about real life You know, uh heroes in the black community and things like that. So I'm not going to sit here and just crap on issa ray Uh, but I uh, you know, I just wasn't really feeling her performance either But the gentleman algae smith that played calio the gentleman that I got That got shot by the cop in this film. You know, he did do a good job You know, he was short lived unfortunately and I'm not spoiling anything Um, I did like his character. It was a little exaggerated how he was Interacting with the cop and things like that. It's it's kind of like I while I did and I mean When I saw how they were portraying him in this film I kind of had a sense of where I thought this film was going to go It didn't do that completely but it did in the sense to where It's not trying to make the white people out to be the bad guy. You know what I'm saying now I understand that but they and and to me With this film and especially with algae smith they try to try to give like a little reason to why police have A valid reason to execute black people when they don't it's bullshit Now if you're going to be this aggressive with the black person, okay, that's fine But you need to be that aggressive with white people too When unarmed black man gets shot down all the time Because he had a brush he was just trying to brush his head, you know But then you know, you got people to go shoot up churches and synagogues and things like that And shoot people, you know shoot people in Kroger, but those people can get apprehended Uh, you know non-violent and no one dead and things like that, you know, it's just pretty uh pretty pretty frustrating The message in the film was uh pretty nice There's a ton of them some people are gonna pick up some messages and some people aren't the main message in this film to me Is no matter what we do no matter what we say, they're not gonna hear us Now you may not like me for saying that but goddamn that's just the reality of the situation I mean does not I mean we like, you know, there's a lot of post testing in this movie And then when it was going on I was like, okay, how was this film gonna end? If they end on some stupid kumbaya and And then in the black people in the in the white people or the black people in the cops hugging and kissing and just Oh, let's go have some coffee and get some no-chill I would have rolled my eyes and possibly passed out now You can be like, whoa, B. Don't you want us all to live in peace and harmony? Well, yes, I do but that's just not gonna happen I mean we've been begging and pleading and screaming and hollering for literally 400 years If you really want to get a little little literal next year will be the 400th year right now We're at like 399 And that's one of the things that I really did love about the film Is that a mandala basically, you know, she just like at a point it finally clicked in her she woke up I'm not saying that she was in the sunken place, but she just had a different sense of reality Her consciousness went up to the next levels like damn No matter like literally we could do everything they want us to do We can abandon our business our own businesses and give all of our money and resources to them to better their lives And they're still going to shoot us like crap and and it was no worse It I like when the film does not show you but they tell you and it was just like a look on her face In the middle of this post test for it. It was just like, you know, she's like damn You know I'm saying I just really got to look out for my own people because it's just there's no hope Now I now I want to say it's no hope for everybody Because there is a such thing as allies in this movie and this film did kind of delve in that just a little bit But earlier I was talking about different classifications of People in this film and people in the world. We have white people and non white people and white supremacists Of course, I'm a black man. I will be in the non white people group a white person If you saw the movie her boyfriend was named chris Now he fits into the white group of this work And she had another friend by the name of uh, what is her name? I think it's Sabrina carpentry Yep, she played hailey. She falls into the white supremacist group Now you could fall into that group of being racist or white supremacist or white supremacist or whatever and not know it It's still no excuse. You need to look in the mirror and check yourself And I'm just talking because this this film hit on all these points So I just I really just feel like I got to talk about it. But She was a racist to me. She was a white supremacist to me Now I don't think she realized it but that doesn't ever matter You know, like I said, you need to check yourself because she on that whole all lives matter BS and this film right here is making the cop that murdered the boy out to be the victim And she's caping for the cop like, oh my god. It's just so sad. I mean, he was just doing his job I mean his he can't even go out and get milk. He'll get ridiculed. You know, his life matters, too And this is like you when you hear something about the life of the male life You're like, whoa, I cannot deal with you. You we are just too far gone And yeah, it may be kind of good to try to talk it out and get a better understanding because you know Some people I grew up knowing every different race But some white people only grew up knowing white people some black people only grow up being around black people And this was an example of this and she's spitting that rhetoric of of just ridiculous of how, you know The cop is the victim and it's not his fault And you know, it could have been this it could have been that and that's just ridiculous And she did not want to listen that that's what makes it worse She was just so hellbent on her point on her being right and just ready to exclude people instead of listening to somebody That's crying. That's in pain You know, if you have excuse me I'm just getting passionate right now. If you have a rape victim You feel sorry for the rape victim or you listen to what they have to say You don't be like, well, let's look at it from the male's point of view It has been a while since he got some ass, you know, he was horny, you know, I mean You know a man or man, you know when we get horny, we got, you know I mean, you know, you were wearing a short skirt and bended it over and dropping like it's hot. No That is insane. That is crazy, you know But for some reason that type of mindset and behavior is put upon us And that's just you know, another thing that I liked about the film now going back to her boyfriend Chris. That was a white guy He thought he understood but he didn't and at one point he was, you know, I don't see color Let's stop it. When we hear stuff like that, we know you're lying. That's dumb. Everybody sees color I see color when I see somebody first. Oh, that's a black person. That's a white person. That's a yellow person That's a red person. People don't really go around saying that's a yellow person. That means Asian But I think you get my point. That's a brown person, you know, I'm saying they don't everybody sees color What matters is the way you treat somebody now just because I see that you white brown, yellow, red Whatever, that don't mean that I'm gonna treat you any different. I see that But I'm not gonna we're not gonna treat nobody different So, you know, he was one of those type of people or whatever and they're always kind of innocent Whatever, but he was trying and he tried to be there for his girl So I do appreciate that and that's just I was watching film. I was like, oh man white person Non-white person white supremacist or whatever. So, uh, but of course the the uh The acting was great across the board There was a lot of white fragility in this film as well It had a lot of nods to a tupac Shakur. So I give respect there And this is the way the pacing of the film and the directing of the film was just great It was done very well. There was a number of Times where it was just a very intense severe Moment and it was the camera just kind of slowed down and gave you A slow motion edit to where there's no sound and you're just in the environment in the mix But then also the soundtrack will come through just to intensify the moment They did that about four or five times and it just really you know hit home is you know for me as just You know being really impactful in that moment. I really do. I talked about the family earlier I really like all the relationships in this in this film as well. Um, especially with, um, What is the name star and Khalil in this film? You know, they just didn't know each other I mean the film really did take a great did a great job Showing just how important their friendship was how that could have been some romance there You know the bond that they had when they were children and how they were friends of harry potter And the way the film kept going back to that just to really You know push to make the point of just how you know, this really did hurt amanda Her real name is a star in the film Also, it kind of changed my perspective on things too about how I would handle racism things like that because If I murdered somebody, of course, I'm gonna be on the front line at the witness stand, of course I don't I don't care. You know, I'm a I'm a reveal what I saw But you know, this is a young girl in high school and she may not want that type of attention And you know, I kind of I really do understand it. So, um, you know, I like it all I mean, there were some characters in this film that I just you know, I did not like and I did not care for it But at the same time, you know, it was realistic So, I mean every every black person in real life does not do What I would like for them to do but when I say that, please don't beat me up I don't I'm not saying that I have all the answers and that I'm some guru No, no, no, I'm just mean is as far as being passionate and serving your community I could be doing more myself as well. So I You know, I want to tailor my words just a little bit there But at the same time, that's how it is in real life. And that's how I was in this movie And you know, you had one black guy in the protest and you know, he wanted to be peaceful And then when they got a little rowdy in the cops, he's creeping for the cops They're just doing their job. I'm like, that's bullshit man. Get the hell out of here What you're saying is they're just upholding the system of white supremacy I mean, come on. That's all they're doing is upholding the system of white supremacy I mean, that's basically what you're saying. So and there are people like that in real life The Jesse Lee Peterson's and the the uh, Stephen A. Smith's and the, uh, what's that Clark that dumb ass cops name Uh, Sheriff Clark or whatever. Y'all know who I'm talking about but um Yeah, so the casting was great. I liked the co-switching between the two worlds I really liked the acting and the message. Uh, the niggas planning was real with white fragility We had some coons in here the family dynamic Protesting two-pox security editing, you know, it was this it was a great film I'm kind of struggling where I want to rate this thing um But I do have a figure if I wanted to rate The hate you give out of one out of 10, I would give it an 8.5 out of 10 Yes in 8.5 out of 10 But guys, that is just my opinion. Have you seen the hate you give or do you want to see it? I suggest you should have I turned you on have I turned you off? Do you agree with me or do you disagree with me?
