Story:
Historical drama directed and co-written by Gina Prince-Bythewood, inspired by true events, The Woman King (2022) follows Nanisca (Viola Davis), the general of the Dahomey Amazons in the Kingdom of Dahomey, as she trains the next generation of recruits and readies them for battle against an enemy determined to destroy their way of life.
We’ll add the best quotes once the movie is released and we’ve had a chance to watch it, but for now, here’s a small selection.
Quotes:
King Ghezo: An evil is coming that threatens our kingdom, our freedom. But we have a weapon they are not prepared for.
Nanisca: My King, the Europeans wish to conquer us. They will not stop until the whole of Africa is theirs. We must fight back for our people.
King Ghezo: Nanisca, you’re asking me to take them to war. War.
Nanisca: Some things are worth fighting for.
Nanisca: You are called to join the king’s guard. No kingdom in all of Africa shares this privilege. Train hard. Fight harder. We fear no one. And we fear no pain. I offer you a choice. Fight, or we die.
Nanisca: To be a warrior, you must kill your tears.
Nanisca: We are the spear of victory! We are the blade of freedom! We are Dahomey!
