So now we have Marshall starring Chadwick Boseman like I said in the beginning this is his fourth time playing a bio biography and I am a big big fan of Chadwick Boseman like real talk seriously of course he's playing Black Panther that comes out February 16th of 2018 next year and I can't freaking wait for that but right now we have Marshall and Marshall is a very important figure for black people especially a Thurgood Marshall. I mean this man was the first African American to appear in the Supreme Court back many many many decades ago so he speaks volumes for people that look like me and I have nothing but respect for the man. Now this movie is being directed by Reginald Hutland if you know that name he was really more popular back in the early 90s with some of his work I mean he did the house party short he directed house party one he also directed Boomerang which who's in that 80 Murphy and the woman Robin Givens and John Witherspoon and so many other you know popular black you know men and women that were popular back in the 90s with all their sitcoms and TV shows I mean I love that movie that is like a classic among classics especially for black people he also directed a few of a row and directed a few of the episodes for the Black Panther animation and if you haven't seen that they like premiered on BET a number of years ago and he was a part of that from like 2004 to like 2008 and it was pretty good to me I do own a copy of it I didn't bring it here to show you but it's somewhere downstairs but you know after that Reginald Hutland just was kind of he's just done a lot of TV and a lot of shows that I'm just not too familiar about but now he's doing Marshall starring Chadwick Boseman and as far as my expectations for the movie is concerned I didn't know what to expect going into this I mean it looked good I'm pretty sure it was gonna be good but I didn't know if this was gonna be kind of like a live biography if it was going to just focus on one case a number of cases with Thurgood Marshall is it gonna be a serious movie because this has to do with serious race relations it's gonna be a soft movie and it's a little bit of both of seriousness and softness I guess you could say for a lack of a better word now don't let that turn you off because Wilder is a lot of you know nice levity to the film it does hit home when it needs to be and is serious when it needs to be painting the picture of just how times were back in the day in this country especially in the south it takes place in 1941 it might my memory slips me right now on exactly what time it is but this movie focuses in 1941 on one particular case and this is also when Thurgood Marshall was young younger in his younger days I don't necessarily want to say when he was starting out or whatever but this was in 1941 one of which is not covered in this movie except for the very end like in a subtitle one of his bigger cases was in 1954 in the Brown versus Board case where he ended segregation and public schools so that was a little later but this one solely focuses on 1941 and just like Chadwick Boseman did and Jackie Robertson and 42 just like he did in James Brown and I didn't see that other bio biography that he did he knocked this role out of the park and it really doesn't feel like Chad Chadwick Boseman is just playing Chadwick Boseman no it feels like he is actually playing a different character and that being Thurgood Marshall because that was I didn't mention it just a second ago but that was one of my concerns going in okay are you just getting another black face to fill this important role or is he going to actually act and try to portray this Thurgood this perfect gentleman that we know Thurgood Marshall who passed in the early 90s I think it was 1993 when I looked it up and you can put those words to the side because you know this he's Chadwick Boseman is not just playing Chadwick Boseman you know he is really filling the shoes of Thurgood Marshall and he did a great job with that now as far as the the look is concerned if you've seen what Thurgood Marshall looks like Chadwick Boseman looks nothing like him but you know that's perfectly fine you know I'm not having any complaints there and the the second role his co-star in role Josh Gad I forgot what the name of Josh Gad's character is I can try to look it up real quick while I'm talking to you but Josh Gad did Sam Friedman or whatever and they made a joke about the spelling of his name because you know Sam Friedman is trying to free people but his name is a free like FRR no not FRR I can't spell F-R-E-E is F-R-I-E-D or whatever and they kind of make little jokes in there but Josh Gad's portrayal of Sam Friedman in this role was top notch too I've seen Josh Gad before in a couple of other roles and more comedic roles from my memory but right now he played more of a serious role and he did a great job with that the dynamic between Chadwick Boseman and Josh Gad on screen was perfect I really loved it they got along great and they also got into it and I really did see the dilemma from both sides and where they was coming from you know dealing with this case and just you know dealing with life in America and I really could see both sides you know and it just Chadwick Boseman did a such a great job of portraying the role of Thurgood Marshall if it all is true which I believe it is and Thurgood Marshall was just like you know look I have a job to do I'm not gonna waste any time you know we got to get it done no matter what obstacle comes in my way we have to find a way to get over it get under it get around it or go through it and he did that I mean the the racial prejudice that was going on back and I mean we still have that today in 2017 of course it's ridiculous but the way it was in just 1941 it was just so blatantly ridiculous I mean it was just crazy how you know some people had to live back then and you know some people just didn't let it hold them down and Thurgood Marshall is a prime example of that I mean the only thing I you know that I'm thinking about it that I would appreciate it if the movie done was kind to touch back on like what motivated him to be such a great man if they touched on that and I'm missing it please excuse me and let me know in the comment section below but it did just kind of start as him being like a superhero lawyer or whatever without it kind of showing his origins or where he came from that's perfectly fine I mean the man did so much for so many years so you can't condense his whole life into one movie I mean you could but you know this movie is not for that but you know that is something that I wish they would have did but I'm not going to knock any points off for that but back to the relationship between the characters between Josh Gad and Chadwick Boseman I really did love that you know them the chemistry that they had on screen was was wonderful and one of the great things and one of the things that made this movie great like I spoke on the seriousness of the film and also it being kind of soft surprisingly this movie while it does have a large excess of the the inward I mean there was a one part you know they did say nigger a lot and you know one person was come you know come they compare one of their weapons to like a nigger beater and I was like okay is this rated R is this rated PG-13 but it's ready PG-13 and you know I'm not offended well I used we use the word and they use the word in this movie so you know if that bothers you you know you've been warned but you know they also refer to black people as wild panthers and that was a new one to me I've never heard that one before but I was like hmm you know I was kind of you know taking it back with that but you know they have a little bit of that in there so if you're kind of one of those you know squeamish people where you just can't stand the word you may want to stay away from this it wasn't like Django Unchained where it was like you know kind of like what I was making a joke about it but you know it does have the right context in this movie and just kind of you know kind of help set the tone or whatever but that's okay it's not a bunch of the author the movie the movie is funny surprisingly this movie is very funny it's freaking hilarious it is not filled with jokes but you know you have especially like Josh Gad who's in the situation had he's never been in before you know he's just kind of thrown into the lion's den trying to be a part of this case to free this black man that is presumed and that is assumed innocent or whatever and just some of his reactions and the way that he's dealing with Chadwick Boseman and just the case in general and just funny just seeing him at home you know with his wife you know doing stuff from someone not some door it's just funny or whatever it's not just like you know knee slapping you're throwing your head back screaming out loud laughing at your your your mouth out or whatever it's nothing like that I mean it's all fits it's all cohesive it all flows nicely I mean it's a nice serious movie and it also has a lot of laughs as well too something I do like as well as it's the story and of course the portion of this case that it did cover with Chadwick Boseman trying to prove the innocence of an innocent black man that was accused by raping I won't say anymore and when they were having the when they were having the trials in court or whatever what I also really like is all of the flashback and flashbacks and reenactment scenes because they're giving you pieces of the story from different perspectives and it's kind of just like a puzzle like a mystery you're trying to figure it out with everyone else in the audience and it just makes it fun and I you know please don't beat me up for using the word fun with such a serious subject matter I mean it just still is intriguing and interesting trying to figure out this case and I really did love the reenactments I really did love the flashbacks you know they really did paint a very lovely vivid picture of what was going on and you know the way everything revealed itself in the end I really did appreciate other great performances is by Kate Hudson she did a great job well and it's pretty much great performances across the board I can't complain about anything in this movie other than the smog wrap I made earlier when I said they maybe could have touched on hit a third go up Marshall's origins but you know they decided not to do that which is fine over there but you know I really did enjoy this movie I feel like I learned a lot about just race in general and I know that a lot but you know you never can know everything there's no such thing as a grandmaster I mean that you know that at the highest level you can still learn more and with the little as I know or much as I know I still feel like I learned something I feel like I you know I wanted to research more about third go Marshall not just because I'm doing a movie review because I am generally interested I love the story love the characters love the pacing of the film love the direction I love just about everything if I had to rate third go Marshall out of a 1 out of 10 I would easily give this a 9 out of 10 yes a 9 out of 10 now you may be sending a self-branding you just gave this a 9 out of 10 but you said there's pretty much not anything that you complain about why don't you give this a 9.5 why don't you give this a 10 because 9.5 or 10s is to where I'm like freaking blown away and or I have some type of emotional response from the movie like I start crying or something like that tears start coming down my face or I'm just completely moved by the acting and it's like Oscar worthy acting or whatever and even though the acting is great in this movie I'm not finna sit here and say that somebody deserves an Oscar for it because that's just top notch to me this is still one of the better films of the year but I'm not gonna say that someone deserves an Oscar for it so you know but still I'm not out of a 10 is good but guys that's just my opinion have you seen Marshall I mean do you want to see it
