浙江省杭州市杭高钱江校区2020-2021学年高二上学期英语期中试卷
Whether you're a comic fan or not, you're bound to have seen posters or social media posts about Marvel's newest blockbuster(大片), Black Panther. Black Panther was first created in 1966 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and was transformed into a film this year. The story follows T'Challa, a man living in a fictional African nation named Wakanda. Black Panther is the first non-white superhero to have his own film, making this a milestone movie.
But what makes this film different from all the other Marvel films? Take a look at the cast list and you'll find that the majority are black actors and actresses. Sure, black people have been in movies but look at the roles they play and you'll find that they are often cast as the criminals, slaves or poverty-stricken individuals. Not this one!
The film also takes a step forward in representation, as black children can now look up and see themselves and their stories represented in media where they couldn't before. For too long, a large portion of our population has been under-represented in media, that group of people being those who are not white. So it's refreshing and about time to have a film which celebrates Africa positively and adequately!
Michelle Obama, the former first lady phrased it beautifully when she tweeted, "I loved this movie and I know it will inspire people of all backgrounds to dig deep and find the courage to be heroes of their own stories. Thank you, the entire Black Panther team! Because of you, young people will finally see superheroes that look like them on the big screen." Her post has been shared more than 140,000 times.
The film has become a hit. It has already broken records, having earned more that $607 million in the United States only since its release in Februry. In the following days, observers expect Black Panther will pass The Avengers as the highest-earning superhero film in history.
