Chadwick Boseman: Black Panther director Ryan Coogler pays emotional tribute
Here is the director's statement in full.
In my meeting after watching the film, I asked Nate Moore, one of the producers of the film, about the language."Did you guys make it up?" Nate replied,"That's Xhosa, John Kani's native language. He and Chad decided to do the scene like that on set, and we rolled with it.
I noticed then that Chad was an anomaly. He was calm. Assured. Constantly studying. But also kind, comforting, had the warmest laugh in the world, and eyes that seen much beyond his years, but could still sparkle like a child seeing something for the first time. Chad deeply valued his privacy, and I wasn't privy to the details of his illness. After his family released their statement, I realised that he was living with his illness the entire time I knew him. Because he was a caretaker, a leader, and a man of faith, dignity and pride, he shielded his collaborators from his suffering. He lived a beautiful life. And he made great art. Day after day, year after year. That was who he was. He was an epic firework display.
