music genre - indie 
indie music isn't a definite style of music, but most indie bands are influenced by each other causing a similar sound. the sound is melodic, the instruments are simple but well textured. usually includes a simple but original guitar riff, another guitar riff layered to complement it, bass doing the same, simple drum beat (but fitting the song well) either a keyboard or violin or something to bring out the underlying melody, and soft vocals, usually well harmonised. the lyrics are powerfully emotional (but not whiney). they spark emotion but they don't talk about how their lives suck (very tasteful)

 what makes black panther a mainstream film? genre: action, superhero, sci-fi, adventure, fantasy→ all popular genres, strong appeal to a wide audience  narrative: black panther changes the formula by developing an afrofuturistic world with Wakanda and tying its antagonists and story to current social issues. instead of avoiding topics some audiences may find uncomfortable, the film asks the questions and aims to answer them. the nations history of isolation is a key plot within the narrative and becomes part of the central conflict. these themes fit perfectly within the marvel structure. the narrative in the final act of black panther promotes a sense of greater purpose, of a narrative reaching conclusions beyond the characters, making a statement on the world as a whole. black panther never loses sight of what makes movies have a lasting impression: a cast of memorable and likeable characters, a fully realised and fascinating world and a style that feels all its own. stars: ...
