Why Did “Till” Come Out Right Before Elections
“Till” is a prime example of how the media can manipulate society. A coincidence is defined as a remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection. Whether you believe it or not, everything you see in the media is manipulated in some way, shape, or form by someone(s) for their own ends. Movies and release dates are no exception. Movies like “Till”, are made to elicit an emotional reaction from a certain demographic (black people).
For those of you who don’t know the story of Emmett Till, you should be ashamed of yourselves, get off social media and fucking google it. That being said, “Till” was released on October 14th, 2022, less than 1 month away from the midterm elections. The film received massive coverage for 2-3 weeks before and after its release. Then suddenly, right before the midterm elections, a week or so before elections, the coverage started to fade away. Was that coincidental? It could’ve been. But we don’t think so. We think the seed had already been planted in the minds of the largely black audience of voters who that film was clearly targeted towards.
