[@coffeeconversationchewonth5939]

My son is one of the incredible actors in this movie I can not wait. CONGRATULATIONS

[@Congolesegirl_243]

That’s so cool 😊

[@terrigelbaum8066]

I wish your son great success and you a heart full of joy.

[@GiuseppeGaribaldi46664]

That's awesome man. I hope they take one of the categories at the Oscars. Who is your son and who does he play?

[@365daysgone]

My dad is the director!!

[@Congolesegirl_243]

@ nah really ? 😭😌

[@pulsai86]

Saw this movie at the premiere in Telluride. It is a fantastic film. Very experimental and stays with you long after the credits roll. Can't wait for everyone else to see it

[@neko8711]

Thats awesome the book is pretty sad.

[@JLee-g6w]

That’s so cool you got to see it at Telluride. I think that it’s very unique that they filmed this in the first person point of view.

[@FlyLikeDove]

Looking forward to it!!

[@sonofseptember]

Have you read the novel? I’m curious how faithful it is.

[@coltononline]

Any ghai stuff in it?

[@QueenDiaydeim97]

Congrats to your brother

That is incredible, congratulations to him!! 💖💖💖

[@QueenDiaydeim97]

Thank you! 🫶🏼

[@gigs2riches]

That is how a trailer should be! Most trailers these days show the whole movie. This one leaves you guessing.

[@JloveLamar]

This one is too vague, imo. If I just watched this trailer I would think that this film was about something completely different had I not read the book.

[@jackmonaghan8477]

Having read the book, I can see why they went with a character POV shot throughout the movie.

[@nepenthe_gal759]

Per IMDB: Based on the Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Colson Whitehead, Nickel Boys chronicles the powerful friendship between two young African American men navigating the harrowing trials of reform school together in Florida.

[@jsk8snrich1]

The book is SO GOOD. I highly recommend it!

[@Estrellitawilliams]

I wish they made it clear that the school was open for 111 years and it was highly abusive. Boys being murdered there as well

[@jsk8snrich1]

@@Estrellitawilliams I hope they do in the movie. It's a very important story to be told.

[@Estrellitawilliams]

@@jsk8snrich1 I hope so as well

[@Sue-id4ck]

@@Estrellitawilliams Yes. From its opening in 1900, the Marianna site was an open campus of about 1400 acres without any perimeter fencing. The site was originally divided into two sub-campuses, South Side or "Number 1", for white students, and North Side, or "Number 2", for "colored" students. The sections were segregated until 1966. Wikipedia has lots more. Marianna is only about an hour from me. I had not heard of this (but others yes).

[@AveIvy]

Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor is such a powerhouse and anything she stars in has my attention. Can't wait to see this!

[@LeesaAlbert]

She is amazing!!

[@SugarCamp]

Saw this at my school’s film festival. Thought about it for a while. It may be the most visually creative film I have ever seen and truthfully the content will stick with me for the rest of my life. RaMell Ross spoke with us after the viewing and is such a passionate person with a kind heart. I highly recommend this film.

[@MoreeeWithMorgan]

The book broke my heart. I can't wait for the film to do the same.

[@Tricki_Woo]

I saw this movie at Telluride Film Festival. It was a beautiful movie. Great cinematography and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor was a deadpan perfection as a grandmother. What a bravura performance!

[@Supriya-d5e]

this trailer has "depth" written all over it. Definitely one of those movies to go to the theater with fam or friends!

[@scottyoung691]

The book is intense. I can't wait for this!

[@umairuddinshaikh9433]

That masterpiece should be the best picture nominee

[@jaeger1989]

seen it?

[@fortunen8467]

film hasnt been released yet some are already calling for nominees😂😂😂

[@danielletopping2763]

Googled the book to see what this is about. This one is going to be a heart wrencher for sure 😢

[@Lastofthescofflaws]

This is going to be brutal and devastating. It feels like the kind of great films I only ever watch once and never watch again because it is soul-crushing. I can't wait.

[@rabbi.rahman]

this is going to legendary in terms of cinematography. Love every camera angle used

[@LAVirgo67]

Love that in just watching the trailer.

[@vince__2k]

The Tree of Life vibes, WE ARE SO HERE.

[@jamk2668]

More like Enter The Void vibes, given the visual grammar.

[@vince__2k]

@@jamk2668 I've only watched one Noé film, Irreversible, and I didn't fw it. You think it's worth delving into his other work?

[@jamk2668]

@@vince__2k I might start with his most recent film, Vortex, considering that it's way more tender than Irreversible. If you enjoy the language of Nickel Boys, you might enjoy Enter The Void, since it's probably the best use of POV.

[@Saltpeanutss]

@@jamk2668no he gave the perfect comparison

[@SallyMankus130]

@@Saltpeanutss Nah, it's not Malickian at all. He has never used POV, he generally uses wide angle lenses, he isn't a fan of 4:3 aspect ratio, the acting in his films is far more improvisational, he generally uses choral music, the tone is different, etc. Enter The Void is obviously a darker film but it uses POV for almost the entire duration and it uses it in a very similar manner.

[@nicolelovett8467]

this fictional story is based off the real "school," The Dozier School for boys. It absolutely wrecks me that our Black boys were treated like this.

[@Collageman90]

I smell some Academy Award nominations.

[@aleco444]

Seems unique…very pretty too❤❤❤ Edit- OMG, Aunjanue L. Ellis-Taylor has been in eveythinggggg. Love this for her❤❤❤

[@thebradleythompson]

this is awesome. we are reading this now in my college English class and to come on KZbin and see a trailer for it is dope!

[@darthmig1328]

Looks beautiful

[@loganlo-fi8793]

So glad RaMell Ross is getting some well deserved attention. Hale County This Morning, This Evening is such a beautiful piece of filmmaking.

[@angelrosario2619]

In all honesty I’m very high and this trailer just captivated my attention, everyone needs to see this 😦

[@susheelbasra6348]

Just finished the book - deffo recommend it - now they have made a movie. Look forward to watching this.

[@Hapa4life87]

This looks good!!! Congrats to MGM and Orion Pictures for coming out with great films from underrepresented groups in the last feee years.

[@HorsdSF]

The novel was great, a heartbreaking page turner. It will be interesting to see how the story plays on film.

[@galaxylucia1898]

I bawled my eyes out at the end of this book. If this movie is any good, I might have the same reaction in the theater 😩 Can’t wait to see it tho. Cinematography looks gorgeous

[@Azerrz]

Reading the book now, can’t wait to see how it is adapted. Great author!

[@AmanCreatesArt]

Can't wait! Amazing book. Side note: The book cover design is brilliant. It foreshadows a twist at the end, but you won't get it until you reach the end of the book.

[@bracadabra0]

this looks incredible

Can anyone give the song from 00:49 onwards? I've Shazammed it 3 times and eventually it spurted out this artist Matthew or something and gave me the wrong song

[@KetoStyle]

I heard a story about the book on NPR. Before I watched this trailer I did not think I wanted to see this because of what happened to these boys. But, this trailer looks hopeful. I think I will see it.

[@lucalemba6430]

Where can i see the movie?

[@tmovies92]

sort of reminds me of The Shawshank Redemption, but at a Boarding School instead of a Prison!

[@teranceeley9734]

I read this book i few years ago it was good but i said i would never watch the movie if the made it into a film. Fair warning to anyone who hasn't read the book this one is gonna hurt.

[@ElJorro]

Looks like prime oscar bait.

[@jaeger1989]

Read the book. It was very depressing.

[@AnointedFlow]

0:17-0:35s don't make any sense. The guy approached him asking about "that" kid he (himself) used to hang out with all the time. The he says, "I don't know what boy you want me to remember". What in the world?

[@aaronjanlistanco]

see at the Oscars 2025

[@Luxington1]

There's modern trailers that show too much of the movie, and then trailers like this that dont show enough. Can i at least get an idea of what the central conflict may be?

[@dfoster4001]

Is the film American Fiction based on the life and work of Colson Whitehead?!? I think I see some parallels.

[@deborahhoward7822]

I had to put the book down. The images evoked were too painful.

[@JetLagRecords]

Amazon MGM Studios, I can't get enough of your videos

[@iluvmyboba]

I don't get dramatic film trailers anymore. There's always music, scenery, someone asking vague questions.

On GP

[@ratguy101]

Haven't seen the film, but having read the book, I can say this trailer is somewhat deceptive. The story is *very* disturbing and by no means "inspirational" as this trailer might suggest. Phenomenal novel though. I couldn't recommend it highly enough and the film looks great!

[@dwaynenotjohnson1405]

Seeing that this is a film based in a time of segregation, I’m gonna pass, just because I don’t want to experience something traumatic or racist through a 1st person POV when I already deal with those issues on a daily basis… im good thanks though. Enough black trauma for me.👍🏽

[@KennethDAstonJr]

looks like juvinile jail or something, is this like "Bad Boys" 87 with Sean Penn

[@piusgyagenda]

Is that young trevor noah?

[@Congolesegirl_243]

No😂 That’s Brandon Wilson he played also in the movie The Way Back

[@maurawhelan3530]

Is Hollywood allowed to make movies about two black men? Where's the black female plotline?

[@lynnwiltshire6220]

What did he do with the donkey?

[@damoncolquhoun]

I look forward to it. But it will be the storytelling, not the aesthetic that will determine if it's a masterpiece. Based on the trailer, the aesthetic is nothing but a rehash of the current Black artsy aesthetic made popular by Barry Jenkins and Arthur Jafa's disciples: Kahlil Joseph, Terence Nance, and Bradford Young.
