Beyoncé has an artistic sense of another world, the way she leads the narrative and makes it sound like a story tied together at all points is phenomenal, she is unquestionably the greatest in several points.

Com uma estética visualmente deslumbrante e uma trilha sonora envolvente, o filme celebra a beleza da identidade negra e ressalta a importância da representação. Uma ode magnífica à diversidade e uma expressão artística que transcende as fronteiras, Black is King é uma contribuição notável para a cultura contemporânea.

This feature length film, a visual album by Beyonce, uses her music and the medium to retell the story of the Lion King from the perspective of the Black experience. The film is impressive and showcases Beyonce's incredible talent and vision. Filming took place in Africa, Europe, and the US and features a lot of unknown actors. The visual imagery stunning, some of the images with their juxtaposition of color and sound are breathtaking. The costuming is equally gorgeous and reflects the many aspects of the African and African American experiences. The film is a celebration of Black pride, Black beauty, Black history, and Black culture that should set the standard for how filmmakers can achieve diversity and inclusion and turn out superior works of art. The film feels like a series of music videos in some places, but Beyonce uses her unique voice and poetry to stitch the episodes together into a coherent story. I am amazed at what she accomplishes here. Big thumbs up from me.

This one I watched within the scope of my personal goal to watch from time to time something completely different from my usual range of interest (never were interested in Beyoncé's music). And for the visual style of it, I admit. And while I was not by any means disappointed by the latter, I had some problem with the way "Black is King" approaches the topic of Dinsney's " The Lion King"; more precisely, how it tries to reclaim it for black people. I was saddened to discover that it refers to it not by subtle similarities, which I expected it to do, but by straightforward and, to be hones, rather blunt recall of some of its most memorable quotes one to one. This, in turn, rearranged in my mind the extent of this attempt of said reclaiming. Quickly I became critical of how this movie relies not on intellectual concept but vague mystical symbolism and, in the end, the only effort that it makes regarding "The Lion King" is telling quasi-similar story (stories?) about a black boy, which it then uses to convince us to simply accept that lion is black is king. And there I was, expecting it to incorporate to that story enriching thought rather than plain rich symbolism...

I didn't always understand how it connected with the Lion King. I watched it on Disney plus and description said it was made by her for young kings and queens based on lessons from the Lion King. Didn't make the connection. There was a segment that came off creepy demonic in the imagery mid-beginning...my young daughter was like...what is that suppose to be, that's creepy?! I really like the segment near the end...the women dancing, it was very powerful and empowering.
