This week Jamie is joined by colour commentator Blake Robinson to review two very different films, each of which explores a dark time in history.
First up is Will Smith's Apple TV+ exclusive, Emancipation.
Telling the triumphant story of Peter (Will Smith), a man who escapes from slavery, relying on his wits, unwavering faith and deep love for his family to evade cold-blooded hunters and the unforgiving swamps of Louisiana on his quest for freedom. The film is inspired by the 1863 photos of “Whipped Peter,” taken during a Union Army medical examination, that first appeared in Harper’s Weekly. One image, known as “The Scourged Back,” which shows Peter’s bare back mutilated by a whipping delivered by his enslavers, ultimately contributed to growing public opposition to slavery.
Following that we're going to return to the world of Pinocchio with a review of Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio on Netflix.
Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro reinvents the classic story of Pinocchio, a wooden puppet brought to life, in this stunning stop-motion musical tale.
