Queen of katwe characters
It matters because these are the sorts of films we should see all the time from studios, but it stands out precisely because we don't in fact see anywhere near enough of them. It matters because it was filmed entirely on location in Africa, in the actual city regions where the real-life story took place, with a large cast of citizens of Katwe involved in the production. It matters because of its cast of people of color, in an African nation, telling their stories with the same importance and matter-of-fact presentation of their world and culture as any other Hollywood drama. It matters because it is a serious, high-quality drama adults can fully appreciate without bringing children, but it's also a wonderful family film with much to say to young viewers as well. It matters because it's an excellent film with strong performances. To this list we can add Queen of Katwe, Disney's new true story that enters limited release this weekend before expanding the following week. Seal, Searching for Bobby Fischer, and Fresh -are good and speak to the human condition, or made me feel the way I did about chess when I was younger and aspired to beating my father. There aren't many films about chess, and only a few - The Seventh But that goal is what pushed me to play harder and get better. I kept playing after that (never at a "great" level though), but any further milestones were anticlimactic after I'd beaten my dad. His reason was simply that I didn't need to play him anymore, I need to play people who were better than him so I would get better. The day I finally beat my father was the last time he ever played against me. Not great, but good enough to play against other good players and hold my own. But he indulged me, we played practically every day, and by the time I reached my teens I was a good player. As a child, I played against him constantly, unaware my meager skills were boring to him.
