THE FELINE MYSTIQUE BLACK PANTHER'S AFRO-FUTURISM

摘要

In black panther,the future is female. Sure, the titular hero is the man-king T'Challa,but his bodyguards, advisers, and chief technologist are all women. Same goes for the crew behind the camera: The design of the movie's setting-the fictional African nation of Wakanda-mostly comes from production designer Hannah Beachler(Moonlight,Beyon-ce's Lemonade) and costume designer Ruth Carter (Amistad, Selma). "The challenge was imagining how something futuristic looks in Africa," Beachler says. "What would Africans have done given reign over their own culture, without having been colonized? How would their cultures have mixed together?" The answer is a future Tony Stark never could have dreamed of.
