Wakanda Forever / Angela Bassett as Queen Ramonda

Year: 2022

Designer: Ruth E. Carter

After the success of Black Panther in 2018, Ruth E. Carter and Angela Bassett both continued to knock it out of the park with Queen Ramonda's costumes in Wakanda Forever. The queen wears this two-toned purple velvet gown to address the UN in the opening sequence. As with many other onscreen purple dresses, it looks considerably deeper in color in the movie than when seen offscreen. According to Ms. Carter, it took four to six months to create.

As in the first film, a 3-D printer was used to create the collar and crown. I found out the crown is modeled on a style of headdress worn by Zulu married women, called an isicholo.

Having lost my father at a similar age . This movie really resonated with me .

As a child parents are like our entire world . They are bigger than life to us . Their mishaps feel like a betrayal to our perceptions of their entire persona . We can't really grasp their struggles . Adulthood to a normal child is full of excitement, something to look forward to . A little jump in the time and you can finally do all the things that you couldn't then. Time passes slowly as you dream about that tomorrow. Unlike adulthood when time doesn't seem to stop and doesn't let you stop either to dwell on your worries because you immediately have to set your eyes on the next thing. Once you reach adulthood you realize how misguided your expectations were as a child . With this new perception the same old memories paint a completely different picture of our past experiences and the people we thought we knew . How our parents were also just people trying to figure things out and the jump in age doesn't give you  an easy access to the adulthood we saw in our rose tinted glasses as a child. With the old memories , a little imagining and the new found adult lenses we can piece together who our parents were . But the puzzle is left incomplete when the person in question is not here with us anymore. This movie is about a similar experience.

Our protagonist went on a long trip with her father when she  was 11 years old . And now she is the same age her father was at the time . She tries to understand her father through old VHS tapes , her memories and imagining what he could have been doing when he wasn't with her , trying to decipher who her father was , a man she never got the chance to know .

This movie is tender , delicate yet bittersweet . We see these beautiful moments of a father and a daughter. He really tries to be a happy cheery person for his daughter. But at moments you can see through his facade . He is struggling financially, he and his wife aren't together , an abusive childhood , how he never even imagined to live this long . There are many scenes to pinpoint but especially the last scene where she tried to grab hold of him from her memories as he fades away left a deep impression in my psyche .
