Can't Get Right Was Swirling! | Life Film Criticism Pt 3

[@JayyyTheGr8_JMNG]

One thing I’ve never thought about watching this movie is how long the old man telling the story had done. He did 65 wit Claude & Ray. Plus, he had been in there since he was 13 before they showed up and was still doing time after.

[@CarsonDouglas]

Bokeem Woodbine bodied this role. It was no dialogue ! It takes a special skill set to pull off. Only the best thespians can do it. Like Johnny Depp in Edward Scissor-hands. 🎭

[@AxiomAmnesia]

Yes indeed!!!

[@JayyyTheGr8_JMNG]

Yu mean evil Dave Chappelle. 😂😂

[@MarkeySlaughter]

Yall mentioned 12 years a slave earlier. When Eddie said Run 🥷🏾 Run I instantly thought about the scene in 12 Years A Slave where the Slave catchers were singing that song Run 🥷🏾er Run which was 1st documented in 1851. So Eddie could have been referencing that same song when he said that to Can't get right!

[@BIGUNKTV]

This is a possibility 💯🙄

[@BIGUNKTV]

Love the way You Think!💯👍🏾

[@ChocoBeauty8]

Comparing my perspectives on this movie as a 16-year-old and a 40-year-old woman was truly enlightening. While I found it amusing as a teenager, I now recognize the problematic portrayal of the 13th Amendment as comic relief. It is concerning that the United States incarcerates more individuals than those who were enslaved in the past.

[@MaterialGworlKodi]

Totally agree. Realizing this was basically a funny slavery movie changes my complete perspective.

[@AxiomAmnesia]

That's amazing! ❤️

[@BIGUNKTV]

This was one of Eddie Murphy's best movies ever... #InMyOpinion It was a great metaphor for the struggle of the Black Man! Once again #InMyOpinion I've literally seen this movie almost a thousand times 💯

[@MorganWeazy44]

this movie is so funny yet so sad at the same time great movie

[@charenzo95]

It was a matter of money too whether or not you were delivered by a doctor or midwife . My mother and my mother inlaw grew up very differently in the south. Both born in 1936, my mother was delivered at home by a neighbor who could barely write and my inlaw was born in the negro hospital. Her daddy had plenty of money. That was one of the determining factors.

[@Nille0212]

My grandfather and his twin sister (born in 1931) were the only siblings who were born in the hospital in Mississippi. The family moved to East Chicago, Indiana and the last two of his siblings born there were born in the hospital, too. The other 6 were all home births attended by my grandfather’s maternal grandmother. She was proud to have delivered 6 of her 10 grandchildren by her only daughter.

I believe that was Can't Get Right baby because when the Superintendent held the baby up to his face, the daughter immediately said give me my baby back.

[@edwardwashington2647]

[@MarkeySlaughter]

Have you ever seen the movie? Yes. That's is child

[@BIGUNKTV]

There is no doubt that was his baby. But what I need know is,, who helped them set up and keep the secret of their rendezvous? Because they didn't do it alone #Believe_That🙄 #TheMovieMan🍿

how was Can't Get Right even able to get a woman pregnant. in a prison. how did he sneak off, where did they go?

[@rnew6399]

Exactly...it's not like he could get a conjugal visit like Claude did .. especially with a white woman and the wardens daughter

[@taurus_1977]

He hit that before he got to jail.

[@CarsonDouglas]

May Rose was the warden's daughter. She made a way ! It was comparable to the slave master's daughter having her way. As portrayed in the scene when May Rose was young.

[@rexxlashell99]

Well since he would have been half or a quarter black, he technically wouldn't have been the first black baseball player, but I know a lot of people still believe in the whole "one drop rule" thing

[@therealmarlonbellamy]

MANY NEGRO LEAGUES! Life is one of my favorite movies & it was weird seeing Bokeem Woodbine played a mute role due to his usual angry hyped up roles. Now here comes the fun facts: Eddie Murphy & Martin Lawrence were also in Boomerang, Eddie Murphy & Miguel Nunez were also in Harlem Nights, Eddie Murphy & Anthony Anderson were also in You People, Martin Lawrence & Miguel Nunez were also on Martin & A Thin Line Between Love & Hate, Martin Lawrence & Guy Torry were also on Martin, Martin Lawrence & Anthony Anderson were also in Big Momma's House, Martin Lawrence & The late Bernie Mac were also in What's The Worst That Could Happen, Anthony Anderson & Guy Torry were also in Trippin, Bernie Mac & Miguel Nunez were also on The Bernie Mac Show, Bernie Mac & Anthony Anderson were also on The Bernie Mac Show & Obba Babbatunde (Willie), Miguel Nunez & Bokeem Woodbine were also in Black Dynamite.

[@mercermercepanama6334]

Jackie Robinson was the first Black man to play in Major League Baseball when he debuted for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947.

[@MarkeySlaughter]

Was he ever an inmate before? I can't remember how he got started

[@JayyyTheGr8_JMNG]

It was actually Moses fleetwood walker. He played as a catcher and debuted on May 1, 1884. His brother was the 2nd.

[@BIGUNKTV]

42 was a #Gr8 Movie 💯👍🏾

[@MarkeySlaughter]

Also I believe Can't Get Right reunited with his baby. Shortly after Can't Get Right left he could have became famous. She is a free white woman. Free to go where ever she pleases with her child so she could have followed his games ! The way they both looked at one another when she was leaving leads me to believe if she seen that man on her TV screen she would go.

[@Du808-o8k]

I wouldn’t be surprised that was the 40s who know what happened too that baby…

[@wallz2012]

Josh Gibson is the Black Babe Ruth💯

[@CarsonDouglas]

Gotta do my homework. And I heard Babe Ruth is mixed race.

[@josiahalcorne]

There was an HBO movie called "soul of the game" that told the story of Satch Page, Josh Gibson, and Jackie Robinson right before baseball integrated. Satch and Gibson were the best players but Satch was too old to be the first and Gibson had other issues that kept him from being the first.

[@tiffanymcdaniels5652]

@@CarsonDouglas not true. They said that just because he was friends with blacks and use to hang out in the cotton club in Harlem. The only reason they didn't hire him for management once he retired was because they knew he would integrate baseball. Which was a few years before Jackie Robinson came in.

[@tiffanymcdaniels5652]

According from Babe's Ruth on lips.... he's the white Josh Gibson .

Moonshine is Hooch.. Hooch is/was a code word for Moonshine during Prohibition.. For any liquor. But specifically Moonshine.. while it also has Indigenous roots && SN: They don't say it. But there are a lot of signs and symbols that May imply That Ray might've had Bloodline/generational ties to Thee deep South.. like his skill of Making 'hooch' and the way he effortlessly recognizes the differences in sociology between Thee North & Thee South.. and how to navigate through both one way or another.. amongst his dialect when it comes to certain words. & His Jargon when it comes to certain things. Which could lend towards some elements of 'The Great Migration '

Many negro leagues. Ray was the only prisoner who knew that Can't Get Rite was the father of the baby that why he was the first to take up for him. And he didn't want him to mess up his, claude, and cant get rite chance to freedom.

[@Aaron32880]

I've always wondered what types of crimes that "Can't Get Right" committed in order to land himself in that prison camp.

[@AxiomAmnesia]

What crime landed Ray and Claud in for life?

[@Aaron32880]

@@AxiomAmnesia they were framed for murder.

[@ExtreemDreemer]

Generally speaking, black people didn’t have to commit any crime to land there. Many were scapegoated.

[@devzeppalin]

Kinda random but that was such a beautiful baby that Can’t Get Right & Mae Rose had. 😂

[@g-holy]

Negor league jerseys were Black-owned.. Mitchell & Ness.

[@Teenytinymia]

I wonder what Can't Get Right did to get locked up. He probably was innocent, but since he was non verbal he could never tell his side of the story. Kind of like the Hungarian woman in the movie Chicago. She was innocent but she didnt speak english and there was no one to translate. So they just put her on death row for a crime she didnt commit.
