The best movie, i ever watch,

1) @1:30 Dahomey had more firearms than Oyo could even dream of. Dahomey had been a full musketeer force along with the Ashanti Empire, Akwamu Empire, Denkyira, since the 1700s. 2) @7:02, the Abomey city walls actually had mini towers with musketeer guards and cannons were mounted on top. These are small details but they take away how sophisticated Dahomey actually was.

@@jaffacalling53 "Yes, I'm disappointed they didn't show the sophisticated slavery system their civilization was built on." Slavery was toned down in the movie but slave trading is the main theme of the film. Particularly, the main characters try to get King Ghezo to switch to palm oil instead of slave trading by the end. However, I suspect that the movie takes great inspiration from the real Dahomey Fly Party in the 1840s who tried to get King Ghezo to switch from slave trading to palm oil. But the movie ignored the British blockade in the 1850s which was what enabled the Fly Party to emerge dominant over King Ghezo and his Elephant Party (the party that wanted to maintain slave trading.)

I think i'm going to have to buy this movie

Dahomey was wealthy and it thrived on selling slaves to European traders. King Gezo, who ruled the kingdom between 1818 and 1858, explicitly said that the slave trade was “the source and the glory” of his people’s wealth. However, to the detriment of African history, The Woman King conceals Dahomey’s participation in the transatlantic slave trade between 1715 and 1850.. It suggests that Dahomey was, in fact, an anti-slavery kingdom, when it certainly wasn’t. The film also portrays the Agodjie as freedom fighters, while they were just ordinary soldiers who captured and sold slaves. It is, essentially, a deeply sanitised version of the sombre truth about slavery and 19th-century Africa, replete with sweet and melodramatic nostalgia for an Afrocentric fantasy. IGNORANCE IS BLISS

in 1821 a bunch of Greek rebels brought Ottoman empire on it's knees. And that's a true story! In WW2 Greece was fighting against 4 nations simultaneously, Bulgarians, Italians, Albanians, and finally Germans, which they managed to delay for 3 entire months until winter covered Russia, while France (the super power at that time fell in a week) , that is also true story, make a movie on that topic instead of glorifying slave traders and oppressors
