Candyman 2021 Reboot

The 2021 horror movie "Candyman" was produced and directed by Jordan Peele and Nia DaCosta. The movie is a continuation of the 1992 original "Candyman" movie. In this adaptation, the narrative centers on Anthony McCoy, an artist who, while investigating Chicago's gentrified Cabrini-Green area, develops an obsession with the Candyman mythology. As Anthony explores the Candyman's sinister past, he unintentionally summons the spirit which leads to a sequence of terrifying incidents that bring the Candyman's vengeful soul back to life. The movie looks at issues like urban legends and racial injustice and highlights themes such as reincarnation, generational trauma and denial. During the lesson we found that the movie is a metaphor for the real-life events that have taken place in history and current events and that it is a ruthless cycle of violence, anger manipulation and lies. Matching almost perfectly to a story that took the world by storm, the George Flyod incident where a man was killed in cold blood by the hands of police brutality and it is shown in the movie where there is a scene where Anthony was shot at and killed without valid reason. But in the end was able to avenge himself and those who died before him by killing the policemen and leaving a message to his wife in the form of the 1992 Candyman, to tell everyone of the continuous surge of injustice against black people throughout history.
