hey guys welcome back to TohirT's channel
Tohir is here
as always i know different one you saw
the thumbnail you know the topic
we're talking about on time the passing
of chadwick boseman and
to me was a different one because not
only
thanks to how much of an inspiration he
was the way i felt
yesterday was like you lose yet another
one of those icons that you
knew could have accomplished so much
more but also simply because of the fact
that
he was such a cherished personality he
had so much emotion so much passion so
much joy
in his smile and his life that it's hard
to imagine that
this person was going through so much
and i don't want to fall into the
sadness i'd rather actually celebrate
him celebrate his achievements celebrate
how
he impacted and inspired me and how i'm
confident he will inspire all those
people who will carry
the joy that he brought in their lives
within themselves within their hearts
for years to come that's the only way i
know how to celebrate people by
exploring the impact that they had on
all of us without further ado
let's just do it and let's talk about
this amazing person
the one and only black panther
i vividly remember three of his key
movies and the time
and the place and who i was with when i
watched them this is a testament to how
much of an impression he made on me
as an actor 42 was the first movie i've
seen with him like many of us
and it was 2013 if i recall correctly
my wife and i were about to get married
to the new movie about jackie robinson
coming out
my wife as a black woman she really
wanted to watch it for her it was one of
those
legacy movies that is worth looking back
to and
acknowledging the history that it took
us to get here today
in the diversity of this country so of
course we went there and we watched it
funny enough i don't recall the movie
as much as i remember chadwick and his
performance i didn't even know who he
was back then i couldn't even
remember his name yet i remembered that
face
and i thought to myself okay i will see
this guy in quite a few movies going
forward
then you fast forward a couple of years
later i'm on a flight to austin texas
for work
and i just was switching through the
in-flight entertainment and i saw this
movie get on up
happen to be fan of funk style music so
i was like you know what i'll give it a
try i think i recognize the guy on this
whatever movie cover and i was so
mesmerized by the movie and his
performance to this day i remember these
like final scenes of him walking through
that
whatever it was like an office building
and just like shooting the shotgun
by accident uh abandoned roof and like
the facial performance that he showed
all the emotions how he
really embodied that character that's
like to me it's still amazing that i
recall i was on the
plane watching the movie and watching
the performance
yet to me it felt like i was in the
theater sitting right
in the front row watching him act
out the entire movie that's how big of
an impression he made on me back then
through that acting
finally 2018 february now i know who he
is
and we're about to go with my wife to
watch the black panther on the premiere
day i was so excited i was like
i have to get the tickets on the opening
night
for this movie and we did and coming
into the theater and seeing all the
people
wearing the dashikis wearing the threads
and the patterns and the colors of the
regions of the africa that their
ancestors are from
or they are from seeing that colorful
festival
of people inside the theater was truly
honor
like today i feel like i was honored to
be in the presence
of the true festival that first day of
the black panther the event
the movie that truly helped a lot of
people in this country and across the
globe see their representation on a big
silver screen
in the major blockbuster movie with
predominantly black and
a cast that truly represented different
regions of africa and that
impact the word that you'll hear me use
a lot in this video
was not accidental ryan coogler the
director of the movie
chadwick postman the entire cast of the
movie were really and truly passionate
about
bringing that world to life we knew that
we had something
special that we wanted to give the world
that we could
be full human beings in the roles that
we were playing
that we create we could create a world
that exemplified a world that we wanted
to see
we knew that we had something
that we wanted to give and
one thing i do know what did it change
the industry
i know that you can't have a black
panther now without a two on it
so we love you and we celebrate it the
lesson that i learned over the past
24 hours is that it does not matter how
tough the road gets it does not matter
what are you dealing with
all that matters is your goal and your
purpose and the people who will be
inspired by your actions he went through
the pinnacle of his career
acting in all of these movies putting
in every single bit of his soul into
every act
that he had to perform and he did not
want to take
anything back from those characters he
really i think understood the amount of
impact that he could potentially make
if he would do all the things the right
way he would portray those characters in
the right way
i'm truly honored with the fact that he
realized
someone like king t'challa being on the
screen showing all the black kids out
there
what the true character of this statue
could be when he's portrayed in the
right way would make a long lasting
impression on all of that and he did not
want to steal the spotlight from that
character
the news of his illness and the fact
that he's battling with cancer
while shooting the movie would certainly
take away a little bit of that
affection that people developed for the
character
because for that moment in time when
they were in theater they did not see
chadwick boseman they saw the king
t'challa
embodied through chadwick boseman and no
news no personal information keeping
everything in a closed circle allowed
people to really focus on the character
and for a moment
forget about who the actor behind that
character was that does not take away
anything from chadwick boseman i think
it's on the contrary shows the true
actor really investing their all
into one single movie to make sure that
they
have that impact they inspire people for
generations
this is a testament of the character
this is a true testament
of who we call a king of the wakanda
king of that world that he created and
i know for a fact from watching some of
those interviews that
he realized the potential that he has on
making that impact here are the couple
of examples of those clips
where you can tell he cares about
who will watch his movies and he cares
about the kind of impression he will
make on those people
for me is is one of the reasons why i i
get up in the morning and i do what i do
like there's there's there's actually a
couple of kids
that um that i've connected with while i
was shooting black panther and i would
literally when i was tired i just think
of him
you know so to see thinking about them
seeing a movie
yeah i think back now to a kid and
just you know uh waiting for christmas
to come waiting for my birthday to come
waiting for a toy that was going to that
i was going to get a chance to
experience or a video game
i did live life waiting for those
moments and so would put me back in the
mind of being a kid
just just to experience those two little
boys
um anticipation of this movie and when i
found out that they
take your time with it
yeah it's it means a lot it's
heartthrobbing
like honestly seeing how he reacted to
some of those situations right
understanding
how he's inspiring those kids the
younger generation
and he fully understands the value of
paying forward with your acts
after all he himself benefit from
someone paying
forward back in his howard university
days he
was one of those students who was
accepted in the prestigious theatrical
school
but yet he had no means to afford the
actual education the actual tuition fee
there
and his then teacher felicia rashad
another famous
actor of color she was able to solicit
an anonymous donation
to that class that enabled them to go
and learn and become better actors and
what do you know
the person who donated those funds ended
up being denzel washington
you know how much it meant for him to
pay forward
and to see those actors going with their
careers
and now understanding how chadwick
boseman saw that act
really inspired him to move forward you
can hear it from chadwick boseman
himself
your tuition for that summer was paid
for and that
your benefactor was none other than the
dopest actor on the planet
i have no doubt that there are similar
stories at boys and girls clubs and
theaters and churches across the country
where
i know you have also inspired and
motivated others
and offering from a sage and a king is
more than silver and gold
it is a seed of hope a bud of faith
there is no black panther without denzel
washington
it is hard to find an appropriate way to
end this video
after all i still think it's hard to
accept the fact that this person is not
here anymore
especially because again of how much
life how much spirit how much of the
bliss he had
again looking at him every single time
he did those interviews
he smiled he showed the emotions and
this is also the perfect example
of the reason why you should never judge
people
based on purely your initial impression
or how they act
you never know what people are dealing
with in their personal lives and you
always have to be mindful of that if you
don't have time to check out all these
interviews and clips that i use that i
link down below
just check the first link chadwick
boseman on tonight's show
really having a chance to interact with
some of those fans who have seen the
black panther for the first second third
or fourth time
like the interactions that they had with
all of those people you can see
chadwick boseman it's not an actor it's
not an act
this is chadwick boseman in his natural
environment
being himself and really appreciating
people
that is unexpected
gorgeous room
to me seeing that kid looking at
chadwick
is enough to understand how much he
meant
to the young generation how much he
means to the young generation
today although if we want to
laugh a little bit about it i'll
probably be either between this guy
or this guy i've seen the movie twice in
theaters already
and once on bootleg it was incredible
thank you wait you go bootleg my movie
we must carry on his spirit we must
carry on his teaching
we must take care of this upcoming
generation that was impacted by
his work i wholeheartedly believe in the
fact that we're
yet to see the effect that he had
because
all of those kids are just right now
working towards creating the legacy and
matching the legacy that chadwick showed
them we're yet to see all those
artists who inspired by the work
inspired by seeing the world of wakanda
inspired by
all those movies that he was part of
inspired by his acts of kindness
all of those people are just about to
break on scene to show us what it means
when someone pays forward and we should
appreciate that we should cherish it
we should take care of that legacy
chadwick boseman exhibited the talent
he exhibited the true warrior spirit and
he exhibited
the kindest of hearts that we should all
carry with ourselves and model our
behavior
after and i will let chadwick send us
off
with this final clip where i will go now
and enjoy yet another trip through
wakanda after all that movie
some of you who've been here long enough
they know how much i love that movie and
how much it impacted me
and if you really paid attention and i'm
probably gonna drop a bunch of things
ah i'll fix it afterwards i'm gonna dust
off
this edition special edition that i have
with black panther
and i'm gonna go and enjoy it after all
this is an amazing world and
we have ourselves one and only king
hell to the king i'll see you guys in
the next one
go and enjoy some of chadwick's work
peace as you commence to your past
press on with pride
and press on with purpose
god bless you i love you howard
howard forever
