What is the constraints outside the film Black Panther? How does the scene where T'Challa show Killmonger the Wakandan land at the end of the movie in Black Panther show constraint? Show textual evidence.
The constraints outside the film Black Panther refer to the limitations or restrictions imposed by external factors on the storytelling or narrative within the film. In the scene where T'Challa shows Killmonger the Wakandan land at the end of the movie, there are a few constraints that can be observed.
One major constraint is the secrecy and isolation that Wakanda maintains from the outside world. Throughout the film, the importance of keeping Wakanda's advanced technology and resources hidden from the rest of the world is emphasized. T'Challa is initially hesitant to reveal Wakanda's true nature to Killmonger, as it goes against the constraints effectively maintained by the Wakandan society.
The textual evidence of this constraint can be found in the dialogue between T'Challa and Killmonger during the scene:
[T'Challa looks out over the Wakandan landscape]
Killmonger: "Just bury me in the ocean with my ancestors who jumped from ships 'cause they knew death was better than bondage."
T'Challa: "You will not be able to stay hidden, so death is not better than bondage."
Through this dialogue, T'Challa acknowledges that Killmonger's desire to expose Wakanda's resources might end in his death, as breaking the constraint of secrecy would have severe consequences for the nation.
Another constraint shown in this scene is the difficulty of bridging the divide between T'Challa's perspective as the Black Panther defending Wakandan traditions and Killmonger's perspective as an African American seeking global liberation. Their opposing views and personal experiences create a constraint on their ability to find common ground and understanding.
This constraint is revealed in the dialogue as well:
Killmonger: "Who are you?!"
T'Challa: "Brian, son of N'Jobu."
Killmonger: [Laughs bitterly] "You are wrong to think that you can just show up and take what is mine."
T'Challa's attempt to bring Killmonger into Wakanda and offer him the chance to heal and be part of the nation is met with resistance based on their differing beliefs and experiences. This constraint highlights the difficulty of reconciling their viewpoints and the complex sociopolitical context surrounding the film's narrative.
