The Harder They Fall

What I appreciate the most is how real the movie is, there's no point in reciting what the movie is about and what it represents. It's a real story, no matter how much hope I had for Charlie to be better. He had already dug a whole too deep to get out of. In as much as he was a positive person, always wanting to see the beauty in everything. And yet he struggled so much to be positive in his own life, or even seeing the beauty in his own life. His daughter was his only way to find redemption. It was not fair for him to out his daughter through any of that. But leaving her with those words of encouragement and a way to look at life differently might seem like it was worth it. But was it really? Was it to make himself feel better, offload on his daughter. Or was it going to be too much of a difficult task for him to face his own demons to finally be able to live for his daughter and for himself. Overall wonderful storyline. So true and realistic. And absolutely amazing cast and acting

I absolutely love the storyline and I appreciate that they used African actors mostly in the beginning of the series. What I didn't really understand is the language usage. How they would speak English in the 1760s , maybe to appeal to the audience but it was nonsensical and made it difficult to enjoy the historical accuracy of it all. Because when they were met with the white colonisers the use of English to communicate with the Englishman was limited because it wouldn't have made sense. We should embrace the use of African languages in film and not worry about making the audience comfortable.
