I watched Judas and the Black Messiah with my ultra-lib mom and I think it is slightly radicalizing her! (hexbear.net)

My mom is one of those people who just cannot take in information that clashes with her world view and just shuts down if you say something negative about a Democrat (unless they’re progressive).

About halfway through the movie, we had to pause because my brother had to use the bathroom and she talked about growing up in that time frame she was terrified of the Black Panthers because all she knew about them was that they wanted to “kill whitey.” The movie helped her realize that she only read propaganda in the newspapers and misinformation from the FBI. She had never heard of Fred Hampton before the movie.

This morning she sent an article to the family chat about how a former cop confessed that the police and FBI were involved in Malcolm X’s assassination.

I’m not a history buff, so I don’t know how sanitized the movie is, but I think it pretty unapologetically shows cops and the FBI as villains and gives context to when Panthers kill them that keeps the Panthers as the heroes. I think we need more accurate biopics about radicals, libs love these kind of movies. Unfortunately, we’re far more likely to get another Sorkin Chicago 6.

The movie is, in my opinion, the best mainstream depiction of a leftist in film. It's largely accurate (although I don't think there was a shootout before the Chicago PD burned down the Panthers headquarters). However, the main notes that the film hits are accurate and it's depiction of Hampton as a character/leader was great.
