While a young boy tries to wash off the gold appearing on his skin in the ocean, his father challenges him to see its value. With a sentimental montage of black culture, “Waves” teaches black youth to take pride and find their flow instead of trying to wash themselves away. This film is dedicated to Black Boys and their futures.

One thing I found interesting is Ryan Coogler inspiration for the twins aspect. As seen above he mentions how he was inspired by the Yoruba Twin dieties Ibeji. He also mentioned it resonates because he has twins within his family. I also had that in common as well. My Paternal 2x Great Grandpa was a twin and helped raised my Papa(Paternal Grandfather) . And on my mother's side I was told there were 7/8 sets of twins . Now I will say not all made it to full term but I know of at least 3 sets of twins I knew and my mother grew up with. Definitely a dope aspect overall
