Lakeith Stanfield plays Cassius "Cash" Green, a young black man living in his uncle's garage dating his artist girlfriend Detroit (Tessa Thompson). After struggling to find work Cash gets a job working with his friend Sal at Regalview in their sales cold calling center. The goal for every sales rep is to become a Power Caller (upper level sales in the building). Armie Hammer, Danny Glover, Omari Hardwick, and Terry Crews co-star in this Boots Riley drama.
Sounds simple enough? When the story gets interesting is when Cash is told to mask whom he is to get ahead by "using his white voice." Why's that important? For me I interpreted it as not just black folk but ANYONE who needs to get ahead has to pretend to be something to get ahead.
The film is visually amazing and very interpretative. Everyone can get something out of it.
Again great movie, worth seeing. It felt a bit long, but still good.
