This is not a sequels or a remake this is an original, adding to the mythology of Candyman.
The clean cinematography and the ability to turn old fixtures into new designs was very captivating.
The ability of the director to tie old cast member into the new mythology with ease in story telling was groundbreaking.
There was a little confusion on why this myth and Legend had such an effect on Burk, which I believe should be dived into. However there was no confusion on why Anthony had such a connection with Candyman. Go back and watch the 1992 original and you will understand this version much better.
The relationship throughout movie as you dive into it showed great mental health issues and trying to fight the mental health issue while trying to adjust in belong in a industry that is not as inviting.
The black and white issue are pulled more to the forefront in the story line, with the black and white puppetry story telling. Also the police brutality and the positioning of racial division with certain comments made, help bring current social issue ahead. How these issue correlate with previous mythology and making the connection with current semantics.
This movie was sweet for the sweets!
