Sophia Stewart: A Right To Be Angry

For those of you that don't know, there is a lot of theft going around in Hollywood. You know the usual stealing scripts, screenplay and ideas. However, this theft that took place may go down as one of the most coldest and heartless thefts ever. If you haven't heard of the name SOPHIA STEWART, then get acquainted with it. And if you are a black woman then you better find out all you can about this woman. There was a movie that came out about 5 years ago. I believe it was called The Matrix. This little movie went on to become one of the greatest films ever to come out of HOLLYWOOD. This shouldn't be too much of a shock because it was written by a BLACK WOMAN. Yep, all the high flying moves and all philosophical and religious references, all from the mind of a black woman. Now I know what you are thinking, this is non-sense. Well the first place I heard about it was here. If you think about a few things then this shocking revelation won't be so shocking. First script and idea stealing in Hollywood isn't so new. It has been going on for years. It has been said that the movie Backdraft as well as The Fast and the Furious was stolen as well. Second, ever wonder why the wachowski brothers(the so called creators of the matrix trilogy) has rarely been seen in interviews. To my knowledge they weren't seen interviewed on Jay Leno or the David Letterman show. As well as Joel Silver the producer of the movie.

Well according to Sohphia Stewart, the Wachowski Brothers were required to sign a disclosure form forbidding them to do interviews and any other public displays talking about the matrix. Ms. Stewart claims the Wachowski Brothers stole her ideas from a book/script that she had sent to the Wachowski Brothers in response to an ad that the two brothers placed looking for various movie and cinema ideas. Ms. Stewart responded to the ad and sent them a copy of her work entitled the The Third Eye. Time passed and Ms. Stewart never heard from the brothers. About a decade later Sophia Stewart watches the new film called The Matrix and the movie bares an uncanny resemblance to her work. The most notable being the over whelming appearances of African-American actors filling in the roles of The Matrix. Everyone from Morpheus to the Oracle were black actors coincidentally just like the characters in her book. If you look further you can even account for Keanu Reeves being a person of color if you wish to include his "Hawaiian" background. Not to mention that Will Smith was supposed to play the role of Neo but later turned it down. Also, the movie is designed around the concept of two worlds. One world reflecting life as it is and another reflecting life as the illusion. Ms. Stewart says that this concept is lifted almost %100 from her book. She says her book as well as the movie was designed to reflect the WOMB OF THE BLACK WOMAN. This "WOMB" symbolizing the fact that the black woman is the mother of planet earth and the life giver of all human beings on planet earth. To further substantiate her claims, she says that the movie reflects a 1980's feel with the techno music, remnants of disco and the fact that the main characters fighting the bad guys depended on pay phones to travel in and out of the matrix. She says the reason for this is that she first wrote the book in the early '80's and the fact that the movie came out so late in the '90's shows that the idea was not an original one but one that took time to properly steal and develop over time.

Also, for those of you that felt that the first Matrix was the best one, well that may be because the first one was stolen according to Ms. Stewart and the last two(Reloaded and Revolutions) were not from any of her works. Could it be that Warner Brothers and the Wachowski Brothers fell short in trying to be original after stealing the first Matrix? It looks like these BROTHERS don't have the american publics best interest when it comes to integrity and quality ORIGINAL FILMS. Sophia Stewart stay strong in your 5 Billion dollar FEDERAL LAWSUIT. We hope you stay strong and get every dime you ask for and deserve. I for one am not demanding a boycott of ALL Warner Brother films, but I do suggest the next time a film with these guys name on it is released we should never expect these BROTHERS TO WARN US ABOUT ANYTHING HONEST AND TRUTHFUL. It is also for this reason that Sophia Stewart if she is angry then SHE HAS A RIGHT TO BE ANGRY and any support you need in spreading the truth about the numerous Hollywood Crooks, then you know you have voices that will speak where you cannot.

Clarification

Ok people its been a long time. When starting angry black women my intent was to combat the strong force that is FEMINISM. This infestation that black women have adapted from their white women counterpart has proved to be the black mans worst nightmare. To show that I am not just dedicated to bashing black women I have started off angry black women with words and posts from actual black women. POSITIVE WORDS AT THAT. Now it is time to get down to the nit and gritty. The next few entries will be hardcore, to the point and will definitely expose ALL TYPES OF ANGRY BLACK WOMEN that refuse to be happy. So stay tuned and be prepared to be shocked and be prepared to learn a few things as explore as many aspects as possible when covering the precious subject of black women.
