Sur Les Festins de Pierre, je reviens sur le film "The Woman King" de Gyna Prince-Bythewood, sorti l'an dernier et qui met en vedette les Agojiés, guerrières d'élite du royaume du Dahomey, au XIXe siècle. Une bonne surprise, même si cela reste de l'aventure et du divertissement plutôt qu'un film historique scrupuleux (Hollywood l'est rarement). Rien que pour découvrir le sujet et pour les actrices principales, impressionnantes, il vaut le détour.

This year's Oscar nominations have made a surprise
Asian performers made an impressive rise
Andrea Riseborough was in the race
But Viola Davis and Danielle Deadwyler's faces
Were both nowhere to be seen on the list
A snub that we cannot dismiss

What I dug about the “The Woman King”:

Those battle scenes were wild! Especially one bit where rifle troops kneeled to reload their single-shooters while infantry used those guys’ backs as launch pads to strike from above. Someone should write an rule for that.

I covet Viola Davis’ spa & John Boyega’s blue-and-gold coats.

Oh yeah: The acting, story, scenery, etc… were great; So worth seeing.
