How Love Begins in Queen & Slim Anatomy of a Scene

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
A couple on the lam takes a moment to breathe in this scene from Queen & Slim, directed by Melina Matsoukas. The sequence finds Queen (Jodie Turner-Smith) and Slim (Daniel Kaluuya) in a juke joint during their flee south after a deadly incident in Cleveland with a police officer. The scene is lit warmly and the mood is in a lower key. And as the two slow dance, feeling protected in this space, they begin to fall in love. Narrating the scene, Matsoukas discusses her influences for the production design, which include the work of Birney Imes, who photographed juke joints in the Deep South. Matsoukas took inspiration from other films she loves as well, including West Side Story and Wong Kar-wais In the Mood for Love.

The film was so underwhelming for so many reasons, It was obvious that the writer had an agenda other than telling a real story about police brutality. The Effort to promote the strength of a dark skin feminist black woman is great but it was over done to a point where she wasnt even human and whats worst is that they chose to make the black man less masculine in order to highlight her strength. There were other odd moments of the movie but I dont wanna ruin it. This film will not age well

Hello My Loves! I just want yall to know that ppl walked out of the movie theater crying & cussing because of how the 2 CHARACTERS were not able to make it out of the white superiority of the world! WHY COULDNT YALL LET THEM ESCAPE TO CUBA AND BE free? And why did yall make the BLACK GUY THE CULPRIT. TO THE COUPLE WHO WERE JUST DEFENDING THEMSELVES FROM DEATH. BE THE SELL OUT TO OUR COMMUNITY? Please discuss this, cuz we are hurting over this reality!

this movie made me cry tears that seemed to be bottled for such a long time. I laughed, I cried, I was in awe. Definitely a black classic and definitely my film of the year

Such a beautiful, surprisingly funny, yet heartbreaking story. Watched it twice. This scene watching them allow themselves to fall in love will be on my mind for a long time

Im getting some strong Blackkklansman vibes here. Two wonderful dance scenes from two of the best movies of the past two years.
