I think the setting of the films conflict was to show the different personalities, which lead to a lot of conflict between characters. The film is mostly about the struggles characters face and how everything unravels. The conflict they battle are related power struggles between members of the band and the producers in charge of the recording studio. It shows many different power struggles the members faced and how it ends up having a huge effect on everything that occured in the group.

I think that ma rainey will show a feminist approach because she is a female protagonist and due to the background of this movie and she is stubborn but rightfully so because she knows she has to let these white male producers use her to get paid but she also makes sure they have everything set up in the way she likes cause she knows she is a high money maker of there company

 i believe the setting of the play is kind of the same because it showed how white and black people got treated differently and in they play even her band members were treated differently because they were black man. ma got talked down on alot but she didn't really care,she wanted people to know she didn't care what they said about her she's going to dress how  she wanna dress the simple fact she's an artist.-Zamaria Mcclendon

I think Ma Rainey will illustrate a feminist perspective out of anyone in the film, especially with her being a female main character. Also considering the time (1927) I don't think the male characters will represent feminism.

One thing I learned was that he had first hand experience with racial conflict because he had each parent of a different rate. This I think will help me understand his impact because I get to see what triggered him as a child and why he grew up the way he did. - Drea Moore

i feel like in this play/film has only a couple setting but in most of the setting the vibe /connection has to be there if not it will throw every body off in the movie like its just how they vibe together and its a racial setting probably

I learned that August Wilson dropped out of highschool when he got accused of plagiarism on a paper and that he taught himself skills in the library, my understanding would be that the message of the play will show his aspects of learning of his own and using his self taught skills on different scenes of the play.

I believe that the setting of the play is going to connect because it shows that white people and black people get treated differently in the play i believe the film might be the same.

One thing i think about August Wilson is how he was grown through all hate he has got when he was younger and this might impact my reading on his hard work to prove that Black People can do many things and always receive higher education

I believe a character that might illustrate a feminist perspective is Dussie Mae. I believe this because she seems like for women. Also based on what she looked liked from what we seen. Also that she also sings like everyone else and she also won awards. And she also dated Ma Rainey. I believe she would have a feminist view in the movie.

One thing I learned about August Wilson Is that he self taught himself in the library after he unfortunately dropped out of his school at the time. And unfortunately I learned that not all of his plays were a success, and naturally this isn't a happy fairy tail. And we as humans are going to face challenges in this race we call life.

One thing I learned about August Wilson is he lived in a segregated neighborhood and that impacts my understanding of the play because I also learned when he was in the
" white hood " he got racial threats. And I understand that because it's just like how black people get racially profiled when in a white neighborhood just because we wear hoods or " look suspicious. "

I believe the setting shows a slight inside view on how Ma dealt with the negative things people thought about her. For example I took notes on when you said Ma was purposely dressing high end and expensive to show people what that she was capable of looking expensive, even knowing that she was going to be talked down upon regardless because she’s a Black woman in the music industry. Ma was radiating the attitude that she can be high end to just because she knows other people don’t think she can for the simple fact that she’s Black, queer, artist.

I feel like since this movie takes place 1927 it will be apart of overall conflict just because things were so different back then and a lot of difficulties for woman and since this is a Black woman I feel like she won't be respected like she should be and even her band would not be respected just because they are Black men.

One thing I learned from August Wilson was that he was mixed and dropped out of high school after being falsey accused. This will impact my understanding of the play's message by noticing what Black artists or musicians have to go through just because of the color of their skin.

I think Ma Rainey may illustrate a feminist perspective because of her description in the notes as a wise strong headed woman and that to me has a lot of potential to be feminist. As well as the fact she is described to be in a relationship with a woman so I hope to see this movie pass the bechdel test and possibly redefine gender roles with a strong woman lead.

I feel like the setting of the play is apart of the conflict as well because from looking at it , it seems like they are really boxed in. I know for sure I would feel trapped so maybe that's where some hostility or conflict comes fro in characters.

I think the setting of the play is an overall conflict because back then there were alot of Black artists and they would make music just for the white manager to make money off them. They were used for their talent.

I feel like the movie plays a big part in our learning topic currently. There could be signs of feminism especially since the main character (Ma Rainey) is queer. It has been said that she was excepted for who she is by her fans no matter her being queer or not (Mattern), but i still feel like there will be some major signs of feminism because of how long ago this all took place.

What I learned from August Wilson's biography from the notes, is that his mother was black, and his father was white, and he and his family were the target of racial slurs. I believe that this impacts the play's message because it explains what the Black musicians have to go through compared to their white counterparts, and how it correlates to the racism that he faced because he is mixed and grew up with the dual (pressure I guess), and how to deal with that throughout his adolescence and maybe adulthood. That is similar to what the band has gone through, and maybe the film is tied in so closely with his trauma, that maybe this film is a way of also trauma dumping.

I think that the setting will play into how he went to war, seen a lot of deaths happen, and came back alive. When he came back, the roaring twenties started and he was celebrating because he could’ve been dead.

I think Ma Rainey will illustrate a feminist perspective because based on what we've learned about her, she's fierce and strong. She knows what she wants and goes for it not letting anyone get in her way or put her down. -Makayla Bosworth

In the flim, I think Ma Rainey will be the feminist one, because she a strong powerful woman and she helps guide the other musicians and she not biased and she and out and about queer. (go her)
