 My hair was like a second job now. I'm forced to focus on myself. I Wonder who I'll be All right now. I see you miss and I like them going with the ball look you look good sis You look good. My name is Brennan Keith Avery and this is just my pen Hello, hello, hello everyone Thank you so much for tuning in to my a pen slash review for a Napoli ever after a Netflix original I really do appreciate it So I've been hearing about this movie for a while it debuted on Netflix a couple of weeks ago And I'm a little late to the party, but that is okay It is better to be late than never now this film Napoli ever after that I can't even talk right Napoli ever after the director is a Hafei al-Mansour She is the first female director in Saudi Arabia I just think that's kind of dope there and she did a pretty good job in this film right here and You know this right here got really got me excited as a Netflix original. I'm just like man I wish they want I wish they would have more films like this on Netflix I mean, it's just like the perfect sit-at-home movie in my opinion But Napoli ever after it starts to not lathe and it also stars lyric bent Who was also an acrimony that came out early this year and I was go ahead and say this lyric bent did a Much much much better job in this film that he did in that film But what Napoli ever after is about is Senai lathe and she appears yet her character's name is Violet She appears to have the perfect life. She has the perfect job the perfect home The perfect hair of course with the movie is about she has the perfect boyfriend And you know, she's waiting to get proposed to but unfortunately that just doesn't happen and she blames it on her Hair and she just wants to cut it off now this movie is very important to me It just goes to show how black people in this country black Americans Especially black women are conditioned on like what the standards of beauty are to what we have to have a long straight hair Sometimes blonde in some cases to be beautiful and that is just not the case what this film What kind of does is just taste that idea that audiology and just chunks it into space And you never needs to be seen again, and I really do appreciate that now so not lathe and you know She was just saying in real life that you know, she cut her hair To film this film and she really did go bald and she said okay It was kind of intimidating or whatever But you know she gained her confidence and was able to go one errands And they were just empowering and what this film really does is just kind of just shows that just like hey ladies Hey black woman, especially you know your hair is beautiful the way it was designed to come out of your head And don't think any don't don't think anything different than that And then you know she kind of I like the character violet in this movie because you know there was a lot of growth to her I mean at one point in the movie where she's trying to have sex with her dude She wanted to allow her dude to you know touch her hair or whatever and that's just kind of insane now I understand my sister y'all spent a lot of money on your hair and all that good stuff And we I appreciate all the work you do and I'm not saying that I just want to rub my fingers through your hair all the time But if I'm never ever able to run my fingers through your hair or whatever That's just gonna be a kind of a turnoff to me and this family did put that on the forefront just to be like You know hey, you know my sister you need to relax You know it brings me to the artist Drake when he put it in his song They came out many many years ago because it this holds so much weight this line where he goes Hair tie sweats on chilling with no makeup on that's when you the period prettiest I hope that you don't take it wrong Ladies he is not lying when he says that I mean seriously I would rather meet a woman at the grocery store with her sweats on and how shoes then You know done up like she is at the club or something like that because that's just not the real you and You know there's actually a line in this movie that talks about that like like violet you never let your hair down I mean, I think it's actually in the trailers or whatever So I mean it's just great there and you know there is romance in this movie This is kind of a romantic comedy right here, but the film does not focus on that I mean there isn't the tip of the film is called Napoli ever after but at the same time It isn't the stick the the typical Stereotypical happily ever after to where at the end of the film She falls in love with the new person that's accepting her for who he is and her current current boyfriend is mad You know and bitter and you know wants her to be perfect with straight hair No, no, no, no, it has nothing to do with that at all and that's one of the best things I liked about the film I mean is the film really ends on just female empowerment and black female Empowerment especially just like don't care what nobody thinks rock rock whatever the way you want to gain Confidence that way and you'll be able to pull it even more than you did before with your straight hair Or whatever you thought was perfect You know and it just I mean they're just so I mean The I was about I mean this film has a lot of deep things in it But at the same time I don't know if it would have worked on the big screen because you know I still would have just wanted more like I said at the beginning of this film It's like the perfect sit at home movie to where you can learn something about I mean Please if you have a little black girl black daughter, please sit her down and like watch this movie I mean it's just about self-love eliminating self-hate and powering yourself and all that good stuff And you know, I just thought it was a great film so not Lathan She had a great performance, you know when she's cutting off her hair in the movie you feel her pain You feel her emotion you can relate to her, you know and just how she's trying to transition You know from this new look from you know what she was conditioned to in the past And you know because black people are black Americans in this country We have been conditioned to think so many ways and that's why like, you know White America or you know our African brothers and sisters or worldwide they just look at us like what's wrong with black people? Why can't they get that stuff together? Why is this why is that I mean? We just been conditioned to think a certain way We've been conditioned to like hit ourselves and love white people and love white people's wealth and look at white People's guys and look at white women's dance to the beauty the way we should look and it's just crazy And but before I go I'll just say one thing that's just really important to me is a Couple years ago. I was working with a Nigerian girl that accompanied. I no longer work for her She no longer works for her. She's not jury and she was born in Nigeria. She came to the United States I think she said when she was 21 or 22 years old and at the time she was telling me what I'm about to tell you I think she was like 28 or 29 and she was like Brandon I had no idea that there was a problem being black until I moved to America I'm like wow you don't say so imagine what black Americans or even some Africans that was born here came over when That was one two or three years old How they think growing up at that young age from birth and what my mom and dad and my grandparents and great-grandparents And they're instilling that ideology upon us. So I just said it to say that, you know, we've been conditioned so many ways You know, some people may not like this movie and call it predictable and stuff like that. I disagree I think that everyone should watch this movie, especially if you're black And I really did enjoy this film and just the last thing that I just want to say real quick before I Give my rating that, you know, I love everybody whether you are red white black yellow or brown But I especially love my black people even more and even more than that my black women and to all my black beautiful Sisters out there whether you yellow bone Chocolate tone dark skin Carmel whatever I want to let you know that your natural hair that God designed to grow out of your head is beautiful And don't let nobody tell you otherwise If I had to rate nappily ever after Out of a one out of ten, I would give it an eight point five out of ten. Yes in eight point five out of ten But guys that is just my opinion. Have you seen nappily ever after or do you want to see it? Have I turned you on have I turned you off?
