The American blockbuster "Black Panther" has collected numerous laudatory responses on both sides of the ocean, but how objective are they? Martin Freeman, a famous theatrical and British actor who starred in the series "Sherlock Holmes" with Benedict Cumberbatch - believes that the "revolutionism" of the film is greatly exaggerated.
In an interview with The Guardian, the actor noted that he does not consider the "Black Panther" worthy of an Oscar:
"I understand that this film can be liked by someone and for this purpose there are reasons, special effects and a plot. But what is the social and revolutionary meaning of the "Black Panther" we are talking about? Has anything changed in America or in the film industry since the release of the picture? Alas, this is an illusion. If after the Obama presidency nothing happened in the social sphere, then what to say about the film! "
Martin Freeman was always unnecessarily straightforward, but he was supported by many compatriots and fans. He himself added in an interview:
"A lot of hype has been artificially created around the film. Great, they finally created an African-American caste in Hollywood, but I have nothing more to say. "
- "Sherlock" to be: the creators of the series hint at the possibility of filming another season!
- Martin Freeman commented on his divorce with a colleague on the series "Sherlock"
- End of Love: Martin Freeman and Amanda Abbington parted ways
The British actor believes that it is necessary to objectively approach the evaluation of the movie and its potential impact:
"We need to be objective and realistic about the work that we do and offer to the viewer. Of course, we try to make films that reveal acute social issues, instill a taste for the classics, within the framework of the possible. Is it possible to change something in the thinking of a person and society quickly, as the Americans want? No, it will take time! "
