First, why this movie is not being talk about enough. Second, Chadwick is a legend and was a legend before Black Panther.

Some black people were not aware of their birthdays back then. My grandpa went years thinking he was born on the 18th of May then later found out he was born on the 17th of May.

Back then they didn't give black people birth certificates and women gave birth at home with a midwife. Most people use the census for records to trace peoples ancestry.

The actors. GREAT! The movie...terrible! It should have been called Leevee and Ma Raineys crew. It was so little about her and more about these somewhat fictional characters that was made up and most of all, it was short. Usually movies like this are almost about 3 hours long. Again, the actors were great, but the movie itself was so way off, it was legit moments I had to check the title of the movie, to make SURE it was titled "Ma Rainey" not to mention the awkward cliff hanger of a ending that made NO SENSE and didn't even happen in real life...

This movie, adapted from a play, literary shows 1 moment in one day (for the most part), so Netflix didn't show any side of her. It is what August Wilson wrote it to be. You want to know what Ma Rainey was like, research and don't rely on a fictional piece of a real person

[@tatianawhite1638]

She acted like that because she knew that being nice would get her nowhere at that time, and those people would just end up using her. And you can also tell she cared for the people who actually cared about her in the movie
