Due to Ava’s professional and cultural integrity, people trust her. Thank you Ava for not focusing on “the bag,” for being a self generator, for doing the work ON Purpose!!! Thank YOU!!!
People don't trust her anymore. She lost that when she told people to vote for the father of mass incarceration....after creating the 13th, a documentary about mass incarceration.
Her credibility is shot.
Yes, and by generating herself she also gets to maintain control over her vision. It is powerful to be able self-generating.
i agreed but glad she rich also. like the actress said money do matter to take care of. yourself and your people. you can't believe everything google say but it say her networth is 60 million. i was Happy to hear that.
Oh she focused on the bag.. 💼 She just wanted to pick out her own bag 💼. Not to be handed one 1️⃣ for free. 🆓
Cultural integrity? She just jumping on the wm/bw swirling propaganda farce. We all remember how she dismissed harvey Weinstein antics in hollywood before he got taken down. Some of you bw are something else boy.
It breaks my heart to see Ava literally have to beg people to watch such an incredible piece of art filled with substance (27:30), all while we watched films like Barbie break the box office without neither Margot Robbie or greta gerwig needing to convince us to watch the movie. This the world we live in. 😭😭💔
I agree with you 100% . But you know nowadays people don’t like to think for themselves. Only entertainment fill our mind and brains
Right! My first thought was why are we not getting ppl excited about an Origins/ Color purple double feature. These movies both have heavy topics but so did Barbie and oppenheimer😴 and we know the color purple is filled with such rich indulgence in terms of film style, music and actresses and it has a color theme, PURPLE. I mean hello! Where we at and is it too late?
Hardly any other races go to see all black films ( unless it's starring Denzel Washington,Eddie Murphy,etc,etc,.. ) Barbie is a no-brainer,lots of females grew-up with Barbie & Ken dolls,word of mouth travels fast. I'm a black male and will problably watch these films later on during the year,if not at all. These types of films don't interest me at all.
Ditto!
The machine was designed to promote empty pictures like Barbie, anything that works to nurture a negative IQ is exactly what the architects of the Hollywood Film Industrial Complex aspire to. That and anything else that pushes THEIR message.
Avas movies do not recognize their format or their false narrative. A large majority of the films Hollywood makes have don't make contact or impact and infact have a very short shelf life, they lack substance and educational value, they lack intersectionality. They make movies for business purposes, hence why they're always so formulaic, Avas movies are tactile.
Aunjanue's work on Lovecraft was phenomenal.
Truly
HIPPolytas episode was my absolute favorite
Hippolyta needs a movie about her lives.
Aunjanae's work on EVERYTHING is phenomenal!!!
Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor is such a talented actress. I love her work. I read Caste a few years ago and plan to see Origin.
❤
Yeah she's one of those actress I've seen around for ever she still looks the sane. Glad to see her taking a lead role she has one of those faces that can do real emotive characters. Just something about her. It's her eyes mouth and Nose. They draw you into to her world. You believe her.
It is a definite MUST SEE!! Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor is amaaaaazing!
IMAGINE INDIA'S NERVE in spending money on Space exploration, yet still maintaining poverty and inequality
Ava's work is unmatched, she educates us. Aunjanue is such an underrated actress.
When i Tell you Ava is SPEAKING!!!!! She made me sit up straight.
OKAY! Haha, I like that. So true.
These two are powerhouses. They both put their heart and soul into their crafts and what they do. Amazing talent!
I encourage everyone to read this book. One of the best book I have ever read. So glad to see this being made into a movie.
I kept listening to this and realized I read some of this book. It is really good and I’m intend on finishing it now
It’s a life changing book
Who's the author please? Thanks.
@@sassyx2048Isabel Wilkerson,
@@sassyx2048 Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents: by Isabel Wilkerson,
Aunjanue is such an INCREDIBLE actress. All her work is excellent. Then Ava is fantastic. I look forward to seeing this
I first loved Aunjanue in Undercover Brother. So beautiful and down!✊🏾
Fund black films. We need to see more crowdfunding. I think a lot of folks would put their money into a film like this.
Yes 💯. This way we could tell our stories without compromise. True freedom comes from independence
I read the book and saw the movie last night. Phenomenal.
Just went to see the movie tonight with 5 of my friends. Absolutely moving and soul-shaking.
Thank you so much Ava and Aunjanue! I'm so grateful for you ladies as change agents! I appreciate you all and Charlemagne & Envy for the exposure!! ✌🏾&💜 Always💯✊🏾
Definitely CHANGE AGENTS!
Highly recommend watching it! Saw it a few weeks ago at a screening and it was impactful ! Aunjanue delivered 👏🏾🔥
I just saw it and now I want to know more..so I’m watching interviews with these 2 incredible women❤
Ava has aged backwards by at least 10 years. Such a clasy woman who know her own mind and seeks out those actors you dont really get to see. Thats why i love her films. Cant wait to see this i hope it comes across this pond.
I live in Chicago and will be looking for this movie. This is something that I would like to take my 13yr old to see. I struggle w/opening these topics up to my baby but it’s my duty as a parent to make my children aware of what is going on in the world and how to handle it. Thank you so much for this interview🥰
This is a great movie experience to share with your daughter and then discuss afterwards.
I love and respect Ava work and a huge supporter of all her films. I’m glad she was able to stop by the BFC…. Peace and blessings to her continued success 🙏🏾🤞🏾🤎
Powerful book and film. Really wish it was getting the mainstream award’s recognition that it deserves.
Just bought a ticket. Showing in Austin at only one place, but I will be there. This is an important film.
We KNOW why it is guys. Ms. Duvernay can't say it, but y'all can. Stop playing that industry game. Shout out to these 2 Queens! So many powerful gems dropped. Loved this conversation!
Swirling propaganda is apart of the "industry game." What the heck are you talking about?
We most definitely know why!!!
@@boogsybrooks You're confused. Shonda Rhimes & Ava DuVernay are two separate people. Ava has had a black love interest for all her characters in everything that she had produced. Do your research and shut the hell up.
@@boogsybrooksis it swirling propaganda if the author’s, Isabelle Wilkerson’s, deceased husband was in real life a white man?
I love love love how Ava said “on that 911 call you can hear the REAL KILLERS voice” referring to Zimmerman. She nailed that statement and didn’t allow Charlemagne to brush over that. To this day I can’t emotionally get thru How they see us. Amazing that she knows how to get those emotions from viewers and make us feel connected to these stories. ❤
i love Aunjanue work in basically anything she's in
I was waiting for sooo long for this interview. I KNEW SHE'D MAKE THE ROUNDS HERE
This is her second time there
YEP! Same! I was like, now Ava girl, you are dancing all around NYC, PLEASE get to the Breakfast Club. Plus, Charlamagne absolutely adores her and always shows the deepest respect for her presence.
I DON’T CARE I’m watching anything Ms.AvA makes or have a hand in idccccc I love everything about her and her work ❤️🔥❤️🔥
The year of exposure! The year of truth
Time is short. The moment has come to brace ourselves! Change is here!
Absolutely, we must tell our own stories. 💯
The Clark sisters biopic really made me appreciate this actress ‼️
Yes!!!!
The movie is a MUST see
Envy butchers Aunjanue’s name every interview. He don’t mean harm, but he gotta practice some stuff in advance. Shout out to Ava for gentle correction. I love how these women be looking out for each other. ❤
These ladies are everything! Thank God for them both. 🙏🏾
Crazy! Crazy that studios don’t offer Ava opportunities! She handles everything with such care. I would love to work with her one day.
I love Ms aunjanue so much! Anytime I see on my screen I immediately perk up no lie !
Aunjanue has been apart of some great films & major productions. I love her/her work. 💜
Ava, thank you for bringing this film to us. I went 1hr away from my home to a theater I've never been. It was the only theater in the Triangle area playing Origin opening weekend
Shout out to Ava who is always a cultural ambassador for us. A special shout out to Tougaloo Colleges own Aunjanue Ellis. You are forever connected to our campus and the state of Mississippi. You represent us well and everytime we see your art our heart smiles. ✊🏾
All I can say is "Thank You!" Ava DuVerney and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor.
This absolutely has to be one of Charla and Envy's most sober during an interview. I don't mean in measure of drunkenness, but more so in a measure of calmness, seriousness, respect and clarity.
Caste is a powerful book. I can't wait to see this film! Thank you Ava and Aunjanue.
Ava is GORGEOUS! Love her! She is inspiring!
Going to see this film tonight!
I saw it on the 17th my birthday. I will see it again and tell my friends. It was a great job by Ms.Ellis conveying the loneliness of trying to do good or the right things.
I know both these women and they are absolutely amazing. Everyone needs to see this film period! The responses it received last year prove it’s worth of your money and time!
This was not long enough!! Both of these women are dynamic!
❤ Lady Duvernay!!! Aunjanue is a wonderful actress!! I will definitely go see the film hopefully it will be in my state!!!
I have appreciated Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor since If Beale Street Could Talk. She was FIERCE! I have always said that gentrification is really about class or your cast in life. Many people of color are gentrifiers. Racism is real, but your cast or class is very real too.
AVA deserves her flowers, INDEED. It's ridiculous she doesn't get the industry financial support. Studios would pay billions to make Batman 100x but don't even budge for these type of films, absurd! THANK YOU, AVA. You encourage filmmakers like myself to keep going!
@12:22 Ava breaks down the Caste System of Hollywood without using the word caste!
MY GOD. Ms. Ellis has been my favorite actress for years now. And I truly believe that Ms. Duvernay is doing God's work. So, to have them come together on a topic that I am so passionate about is beyond amazing. I truly truly love these two artists and will be bringing my younger family members to see this movie.
I'm on the last few chapters of the book. It's a must read! Isabel Wilkerson laid out her thesis brilliantly and brought receipts to back it all up.
I will be in that theater to watch 'Origin'. I can't wait! Wish I could buy a million tickets. Such an important film for such a time as this.
Giving 💐 to Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Ava Duvernay and Isabel Wilkerson.
NOW THATS HOW YOU EDIFY SOMEONE AND SHOW APPRECIATION
As I listen to this brilliant conversation, I am drawn into the true meaning of this masterpiece of a book/movie.
I haven't seen the movie yet, but you can be sure I will take several family members with me to see it.
Thank you both for doing this masterpiece!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great conversation...can't wait to see the Movie!! And Kudos to Isabella, Ava and the Cast!! ❤
We need to support this film & these fabulous women.
I was planning to go see it, but now I don't know if I can watch the Trevon Martin scenes. I prayed about that trial back then and the way it turned out was so crushing I just try to avoid..... but I'll pray for the strength to show up and support these women and learn what I need to learn from this film.🙏🏽
I’ve watched the trailer 4 times…Excited about it. This acting cast looks phenomenal 👏 👏
I love this and followed with the conversation with them both moderated by Regina King. An interesting observation -- I must've seen at least 100 interviews, in conversations -- whatever you call them with Ava. Now remember Ava has early origins as a freestyle artist (check out This is the Life) -- everything about her energy is so relaxed -- you can tell she's a born creative and most at ease behind the mic or camera. In a parallel timeline -- she'd be a fantastic DJ/radio host/personality.
Ava is a real life super hero!
QUEEN!!!!!, shared the "Origin" movie preview on my FB page when I found out this movie was coming out. Here in Seattle the Beacon Hill district had a special showing that was sold out. Ava has a large tribe that appreciates her work and understands the obstacles she leaps over. Thank you for your excellence.
Top 3 of my favorite actresses. What a pairing working with Ava! Excited about this project. Powerhouse overload.
Origin is one of the most IMPORTANT films I’ve ever seen! Please go and support this film!!
Ava, please, please, please sell the DVD. Going to the movie has become significantly unpleasant for many reasons I won't go into. But something this powerful deserves our undivided attention. I hear people say DVD's are "out" but I don't want streaming services dictating what I watch or when I watch. Especially when it is a labor of love like this movie sounds to be. ❤
Ava, I cannot wait to see this film. Sidenote: I tweeted you years ago but can you please consider creating a series based off the Mildred D Taylor books about the Logan family, based in Mississippi? I grew up on Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, read it in 3rd grade. Would love if you considered this! Thanks for the work you do!
I totally forgot about those books! I also loved them as a child. A film adaptation would be amazing.
I loved to read those books. First books I saw some sort of representation.
To this day, I cite Roll of thunder and this book series as my favorite books. I'm waiting for my daughter to get old enough to appreciate them.
My FAVORITE book is Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry ❤️❤️❤️
I read those books. If Miss. Ava did a series, that would be awesome. I think I watched a TV movie based on one of the books years ago. I think it was produced in the 80s.
First time hearing of this, but since Aujanae is attached to it, I gotta see it
Caste is a must read for all people of color! This book will blow your mind. Well written and thorough. Thanks Ms. DuVernay for making it into a movie! Thank you Ms. Ellis-Taylor for having so much integrity in your portrayals and excellence as an actor. This interview was essential. Thank you so much for having these brilliant women on your show. I have not seen one commercial for the movie but will be going to see it.
Just found the movie "by chance" showing an hour away from me, in Portland, Maine, this weekend and next. Urging friends to come along with me! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ava is beautiful ❤
I’m going to go see it!
I live in northern Alabama... Atlanta appears to be the nearest theater that I can catch this.
I was just at Masquerade last night for a show, but a film like this and supporting real film making...
Sounds like another drive.
Ava is so beautiful
Two amazing queens!
Ava!!! I googled, searched, and found it!! I went with 2 friends!! I WILL GO AGAIN and take others!!!! Love from my heart to yours!!!
everybody… aunjanue ellis!!!
All this passion, talent, brilliance, and beautiful body of work...and not getting her dues for it. So upsetting.
Both of them are phenomenal! 💛✨️ I'm looking forward to seeing it!
Isabel Wilkerson is a wonderful writer. She is more of an educator. I may try to read this because I truly connected with her other book, “The Warmth of Other Suns.” Will definitely see the movie for all 3 ladies are top tier artists.
We gotta wrap Ava Duvernay in bubble wrap, saran wrap and aluminum foil
Thank you so very much to these phenomenal women and the strong black men supporting them . We need more moments like these please please have more moments like these!!!
Loved it!
Two beautiful and talented women.
Fantastic film!!!
All three of these three Queens deserve their flowers right NOW 💐
Ava and Aunjanue two powerful women.
Thank you to Ms. I. Wilkerson for penning such a wonderful book.
❤️🙏🏾
I definitely plan on watching this movie. #Origin!
I love it! We can’t wait…Make it ourself!
Beautiful! I wanted to see it as soon as I saw AET is in it.
She’s been acting for forever. And everytime I see that she’s in something I KNOW it’s gonna be good. Before I even knew her name I knew her face and would watch it if she was in it.
I had the pleasure of seeing this magnificent, teachable and emotional movie today. When Isabelle said she missed interviewing the gentleman who was the little black young man because he passed away, I kind of wished that she maybe could’ve spoken to or interviewed his family members to see if he had expressed to them how he felt about his mistreatment at the pool. So heartbreaking 😢.
Origin is a masterpiece of filmmaking and storytelling. EVERYONE needs to see this movie. I enjoyed this insightful interview with these extraordinary and brilliant Black women, one of them I am proud to say is my college classmate. Shout out to Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor!
Just finished the film, (in fact I’m still in the theatre). I am beyond speechless. This film…. No…. Better yet…. “experience” was an amazing thing to witness. Everybody apart of this collective truly did an amazing job, glory to God!
Love Ava DuVernay
Commenting for ready....So happy to see Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor get her flowers! Wonderful interview. Thank you for bringing this to life Ava. I read the book and this makes me want to read it again. ❤
I look forward to watching this film. Mrs Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor thank you for sharing your gifts! I was blessed to watch "Of Music and Mind" and your performance blew me away! Blessings and prayers for you both moving forward 🙏🏽 💗.
What makes me soooo sad for real is the fact that we have an amazing, intentional, incredible, talented director, filmmaker like Ava DuVernay and there aren’t marketing dollars put into films like Origin. I’m not saying every film should get millions and millions in marketing. However it’s just sad that a movie like Origin that is so important doesn’t even get enough marketing dollars for people to be even aware of this film. It’s just sad. It’s just sad that filmmakers like Ava gotta fight. Like for real fight to promote Origin. I’m tired. Movies like Origin deserve better. Filmmakers and actors like Ava and Aunjanue deserve better.
Looking forward to checking this out. I appreciate the work both of these women bless us with!
I wish she released it on Netflix I know they will not show this movie in my town. But I do want ro see it
Fantastic interview!! Great job Charlemagne for asking great questions, 👏🏽👏🏽🖤🖤
This is the most beautiful film I’ve seen in years. Saw it in previews. Watch it.
I have seen the preview and I'm looking forward to seeing this and taking my daughter.
@8:00 DuVernay not getting offers to direct or write scripts is definitely about prejudice. She is a top name, and has been since 2005 when Grey's Anatomy was in its 2nd season and she was winning awards. That's nearly 20 years!
I had to screenshot this as proof of how ignorant people can be. it is laughable for you to mention prejudice when you can’t even tell two black women apart. Ava DuVernay has zero involvement in Grey Anatomy. My oh my, the irony of your comment is not lost.
Excited to see this !
This is inspiring. Thank you for your work.
Blessing to you both talented Black Queens👑💗💯
I will watch it
This is so important. I will definitely watch
I’m going I support you Ava
Ava is such a boss
