Chadwick Boseman Day: Several Must-See Gems From His Catalogue
The loss of Chadwick Boseman still feels fresh. This coming Sunday would have been his 44th birthday and so we’re honoring the date as Chadwick Boseman Day.
He’s a man who inspired millions; who gave young black children across the world a hero who looked like them; and while he sadly left us too soon, his legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of his adoring fans.
I am sharing trailers from his best movies. I loved watching Chadwick Boseman. He was so accessible as a human being. He had a great sense of humor and incredibly down to earth. Not only was he good-looking, but he was a great actor. He was exceptionally skilled at diving into a character and being 100% present as the person on screen. AMAZING! I was shocked when I heard he had passed on. He was too young to pass on because he had so much yet to give. His passing was not only a loss to the entertainment world, but to the world in general!
Must-See Chadwick Boseman Movies For Chadwick Boseman Day
Da 5 Bloods
This Spike Lee war film follows a group of Vietnam War veterans as they return back to Asia hoping to find the remains of their fallen squad leader. Spike Lee said after Boseman’s death that he had no idea the actor was sick during filming and that he never complained once, despite them filming in 100 degrees heat every day.
Marshall
Boseman plays the lead in this biographical legal drama about Thurgood Marshall, the first-ever African American Supreme Court Justice. He was widely praised for his performance and the film went on to pick up an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song.
42
Often cited as the film that elevated Boseman’s career, 42 sees Boseman playing baseball legend Jackie Robinson. It was released in 2013 to great commercial success, bringing in almost $100 million at the box office.
Get On Up
It was after seeing Boseman in this that the Marvel President sought him out for Black Panther. Boseman has big boots to fill in Get On Up, playing the legendary singer James Brown and he was widely applauded for his performance.
The Express
Boseman’s first movie role from way back in 2008 covers is all about Ernie Davis, the first black football player to win the Heisman Trophy. Boseman plays Floyd Little, a running back who is on the same team as Davis.
