Summary
I notice Beyonce's song "Formation," shows her own expressions for love and power as to show women how they can be confident and believe to be stronger as in feeling proud. Her message shows her expression from her personal perspective to what black people had been through and the hard times that they as well had to doubt as with racism, abuse, judgements, etc.
The messages could be similar to my initial reaction as feeling the continuation of how things were supposed to really change but still happens for years and in generations from past to present.
Matsoukas helped Beyonce convey those messages/ themes as "being both vulnerable and political" and in “very loud and New York".
The role in playing this song is showing "the historical impact of slavery on black love, and what it has done to the black family".
Why do you think the song and video became controversial
I think the song and video became controversial because it shows the interactions along with the reality she has been through as the perspective shows the side which she was always born with.
