00:00:00,070 --> 00:00:02,500
Hi everyone, BEST MOVIE REVIEW here.
2
00:00:02,860 --> 00:00:05,190
Today’s movie is “Candyman” 2021.
3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:06,660
Spoilers ahead.
4
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:11,669
1977 – In the Cabrini-Green
projects, a young boy is told
5
00:00:11,670 --> 00:00:13,139
by his mother to do laundry.
6
00:00:13,469 --> 00:00:17,130
When he goes to the laundry room,
he passes some police officers.
7
00:00:17,459 --> 00:00:20,730
While alone in the room, the boy
hears a man humming and then watches
8
00:00:20,730 --> 00:00:23,780
as the man emerges from a hole in
the wall with a hook for a hand.
9
00:00:24,170 --> 00:00:26,820
The boy screams, and
the police rush inside.
10
00:00:27,389 --> 00:00:30,460
Present Day: Cabrini-Green
has now become gentrified.
11
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,869
Troy Cartwright is bringing his
boyfriend Grady Greenberg to meet
12
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:37,600
Troy’s sister Brianna and her boyfriend
Anthony McCoy in their new apartment.
13
00:00:37,940 --> 00:00:41,430
While there, they discuss the urban
legends from the area, including
14
00:00:41,430 --> 00:00:43,140
one of a woman named Helen Lyle.
15
00:00:43,519 --> 00:00:46,919
She was a student looking for a story
of what happened in Cabrini-Green.
16
00:00:47,450 --> 00:00:51,239
Still, she went crazy and kidnapped
a baby before a mob took the baby
17
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,520
back, and Helen walked into a
large bonfire and burned to death.
18
00:00:54,870 --> 00:00:57,930
Anthony later looks up info on
what Troy was talking about.
19
00:00:58,490 --> 00:01:02,000
While out the next day, Anthony
meets William Burke, who tells him
20
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,390
how Cabrini-Green didn’t use to have
such a large police presence until
21
00:01:05,390 --> 00:01:07,230
more white people started moving in.
22
00:01:07,639 --> 00:01:09,990
Burke tells Anthony about
the neighborhood’s legend of
23
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,820
Candyman, a figure of terror.
24
00:01:12,190 --> 00:01:15,200
For Burke, he was introduced
to Candyman as a child.
25
00:01:15,570 --> 00:01:18,860
In the opening scene, he was the
boy as he knew a man named Sherman
26
00:01:18,860 --> 00:01:21,960
Fields, a local who had a hook
hand and would give kids candy.
27
00:01:22,309 --> 00:01:25,630
Sherman was the prime suspect when
a little white girl found a razor
28
00:01:25,630 --> 00:01:27,310
blade in her Halloween candy.
29
00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:30,680
Burke unwittingly let the police
see Sherman after he screamed.
30
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,430
The police brutally beat Sherman to
death until he was unrecognizable.
31
00:01:34,770 --> 00:01:38,760
When more razor blades showed up
in candy, later on, people realized
32
00:01:38,780 --> 00:01:40,350
that Sherman was innocent too late.
33
00:01:40,719 --> 00:01:43,259
The legend states that if one
looks in the mirror and says
34
00:01:43,620 --> 00:01:46,830
Candyman’s name five times, he
will appear and claim his victim.
35
00:01:47,209 --> 00:01:49,537
Anthony takes some photos in the area
and is stung in his right hand by a bee.
36
00:01:49,537 --> 00:01:49,607
Anthony works as an artist and has a
display at a gallery where Brianna works.
37
00:01:49,607 --> 00:01:50,520
The display is a mirror where onlookers
are dared to stare at their reflections
38
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:50,778
and speak Candyman’s name five times.
39
00:01:50,778 --> 00:01:56,186
Anthony meets critic Finley
Stephens, who criticizes him and
40
00:01:56,186 --> 00:02:08,350
other artists for trying to have an
outspoken view of societal issues.
41
00:02:08,740 --> 00:02:12,820
Annoyed, Anthony flips out at an attendee
who asks him a patronizing question
42
00:02:12,820 --> 00:02:16,770
before snapping at Brianna’s coworkers
Clive Privler and Jerrica Cooper, the
43
00:02:16,770 --> 00:02:20,220
former stating that Anthony only got
into the gallery because of Brianna.
44
00:02:20,650 --> 00:02:24,150
Still, Anthony manages to get a
diss in at Clive before leaving.
45
00:02:24,289 --> 00:02:26,500
Brianna tries to comfort Anthony at home.
46
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:30,770
Meanwhile, Clive and Jerrica try to
hook up at the gallery after closing.
47
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,880
They stand in front of the
mirror, and Jerrica playfully
48
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,500
says “Candyman” five times.
49
00:02:35,889 --> 00:02:38,850
After a few seconds, Candyman
appears in the reflection
50
00:02:38,850 --> 00:02:40,420
and slashes Jerrica’s throat.
51
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,970
Clive sees Candyman in the shadows getting
closer to him, but even though he tries
52
00:02:44,970 --> 00:02:48,690
to run, Clive is slashed to death and
has his corpse laid next to Jerrica.
53
00:02:49,540 --> 00:02:52,839
Brianna later finds Clive and
Jerrica’s bodies the next morning.
54
00:02:53,219 --> 00:02:56,389
This triggers a flashback to when she
was a child and witnessed her father
55
00:02:56,389 --> 00:02:57,929
jump out the window to his death.
56
00:02:58,299 --> 00:03:00,920
When the news reports that their
bodies were found in front of Anthony’s
57
00:03:01,380 --> 00:03:05,130
display, he has a dazed milky look in
his eyes before simply stating that
58
00:03:05,130 --> 00:03:09,150
he’s happy he got mentioned, which
both Brianna and Troy and disgusted by.
59
00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:12,769
The bee sting on Anthony’s hand
grows more rotted over time,
60
00:03:12,950 --> 00:03:14,690
requiring him to use a bandage.
61
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,819
He later goes for an interview
at Finley’s home, where he
62
00:03:17,820 --> 00:03:21,370
discusses his feelings about the
gentrification in the area and overall.
63
00:03:21,750 --> 00:03:23,830
He dares Finley to say Candyman’s name.
64
00:03:24,220 --> 00:03:27,790
As she goes to the bathroom, Anthony
is drawn outside the apartment.
65
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,730
He looks in the mirror and appears to
see Candyman as his reflection, his
66
00:03:31,730 --> 00:03:33,299
hook right where Anthony’s hand is.
67
00:03:33,830 --> 00:03:37,780
Anthony leaves, and we see the invisible
spirit of Candyman attack Finley in
68
00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:41,540
the bathroom, slashing her throat and
dragging her face across the window.
69
00:03:42,140 --> 00:03:45,400
Anthony starts to do more research
on Candyman and Helen Lyle.
70
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,980
At the library, he goes over recordings
that Helenleft, detailing what she saw
71
00:03:49,980 --> 00:03:51,629
and learned while in Cabrini-Green.
72
00:03:52,119 --> 00:03:55,610
While in the elevator, Anthony
considers a piece of candy drop to the
73
00:03:55,610 --> 00:03:59,400
floor, but he cuts his finger on it
because there is a razor blade inside.
74
00:03:59,750 --> 00:04:02,730
He is spooked by the image of
Candyman again before he flees.
75
00:04:03,330 --> 00:04:07,210
Anthony revisits Burke, where Anthony
talks about how he sees Candyman’s
76
00:04:07,219 --> 00:04:08,869
victims and reflects them in his art.
77
00:04:09,270 --> 00:04:13,239
Burke explains that Candyman represents
many victims of racial injustice.
78
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,909
Still, the earliest example goes
back to the late 1800s, where a black
79
00:04:17,910 --> 00:04:21,180
man named Daniel Robitaille worked
as an artist for a white family.
80
00:04:21,529 --> 00:04:23,779
He and the eldest daughter
fell in love with each other.
81
00:04:24,150 --> 00:04:26,609
After she got pregnant,
her father found out.
82
00:04:26,950 --> 00:04:31,080
He sent a mob after Robitaille, leading
to them torturing him, severing his
83
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,230
hand, covering him in honey to attract
bees, and finally set him on fire.
84
00:04:35,620 --> 00:04:39,370
Brianna sees Anthony’s paintings and
expresses concerns for his sanity.
85
00:04:39,740 --> 00:04:43,849
Anthony smashes the mirrors when she
tries to say Candyman’s name, driving
86
00:04:43,849 --> 00:04:45,580
her away to stay with Troy and Grady.
87
00:04:45,799 --> 00:04:49,640
Elsewhere at a prep school, a group of
teenage girls gathers in the bathroom
88
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,560
to say Candyman’s name after one of them
saw Anthony’s display at the gallery.
89
00:04:53,890 --> 00:04:56,920
One of them flees before it’s
done, and another girl sits
90
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,210
in a stall while this goes on.
91
00:04:58,630 --> 00:05:01,750
After nothing happens, the
girls try to leave the bathroom,
92
00:05:01,980 --> 00:05:03,099
but the door is locked.
93
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,000
One of the girls goes back to the mirror,
and the others only hear the sounds of
94
00:05:07,310 --> 00:05:08,830
Candyman’s hook digging into her flesh.
95
00:05:09,180 --> 00:05:11,750
The girl in the stall can only
watch through a reflection in a
96
00:05:11,750 --> 00:05:14,750
small mirror the vague imagery of
her classmates being slaughtered.
97
00:05:15,330 --> 00:05:18,340
With his body and mind
continuing to erode, Anthony
98
00:05:18,349 --> 00:05:20,000
visits his mother, Anne-Marie.
99
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,769
He starts to bring up Candyman and
what he learned about Cabrini-Green.
100
00:05:24,330 --> 00:05:27,320
He realizes he is the baby
that was taken decades earlier.
101
00:05:27,710 --> 00:05:32,030
Still, Anne-Marie explains that while she
believed Helen did kidnap him, she was
102
00:05:32,030 --> 00:05:36,429
saving him from Candyman, as he had picked
Anthony specifically for a dark purpose.
103
00:05:36,759 --> 00:05:40,190
Anthony leaves, feeling that his
mother lied and kept things from him.
104
00:05:40,770 --> 00:05:43,710
When Anthony and Brianna
appear ready to reconcile, they
105
00:05:43,710 --> 00:05:45,070
are both captured by Burke.
106
00:05:45,450 --> 00:05:48,270
He takes them to a rundown
church, where he calls the police
107
00:05:48,270 --> 00:05:49,580
and feigns a distress call.
108
00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:53,679
Burke views Candyman as a symbol against
racial oppression and knows Anthony,
109
00:05:53,809 --> 00:05:57,650
whose body is half-decayed, is set
to join Daniel Robitaille and Sherman
110
00:05:57,650 --> 00:05:59,249
Fields as the new embodiment of Candyman.
111
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,150
Burke saws off Anthony’s right
hand and places the hook there.
112
00:06:03,620 --> 00:06:06,549
Brianna frees herself just as
the police start to arrive.
113
00:06:06,930 --> 00:06:10,359
Although Burke pursues her, Brianna
stabs him to death with a pen.
114
00:06:10,830 --> 00:06:13,210
Anthony falls into her
arms as he is weakened.
115
00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:15,340
The police burst in and shot him dead.
116
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,099
Brianna is taken into police
custody by some dirty cops.
117
00:06:19,470 --> 00:06:22,640
The lead officer tries to get her to
spin the story either to make Anthony
118
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,840
the sole culprit of the murders, or
make her look like an accomplice.
119
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,310
Knowing what the cops are trying
to do, Brianna asks to look at
120
00:06:29,310 --> 00:06:32,420
herself in the mirror in exchange
for saying whatever the cops want.
121
00:06:32,809 --> 00:06:35,699
She summons Candyman, and
an officer emerges from the
122
00:06:35,699 --> 00:06:37,270
building with his throat slashed.
123
00:06:37,670 --> 00:06:42,080
Anthony is now the spirit of Candyman, and
he proceeds to kill the other officers.
124
00:06:42,470 --> 00:06:44,610
The lead cop runs out as Anthony follows.
125
00:06:45,020 --> 00:06:47,980
Brianna exits the car and
witnesses Anthony kill the cop.
126
00:06:48,349 --> 00:06:52,580
A swarm of bees consumes Anthony,
and he takes the form of Robitaille.
127
00:06:52,580 --> 00:06:55,690
As more police start arriving,
Robitaille has one request
128
00:06:55,700 --> 00:06:57,340
for Brianna: “Tell everyone.”
129
00:06:57,970 --> 00:06:58,950
Thanks for watching.
