“I
knew
it
was
gonna
be
something
brilliant
because
I
worked
with
him
on
The
Harder
They
Fall
and
when
I
read
the
script
I
was
like,
‘What?!’
and,
‘What
time?!’
and
,
‘Everybody’s
Black?!’”
Lakeith
Stanfield
told
GlobalGrind
exclusively.
“Absolutely.
I
mean
it’s
a
dream
for
an
actor
to
exist
in
a
space
like
that
and
give
an
interpretation
of
something
that’s
by
proxy
history,
that
shows
our
skin
color
being
present
there;
but
also
the
story
of
Clarence
really
drew
me
in.
It
was
one
that
I
identified
directly
with,
and
I
feel
like
I’ve
been
through
the
same
thing
so
I
feel
like
hopefully
other
people
will
connect
to
it
too.”

With
that
said,
we
had
to
ask
Stanfield
what
it
is
about
Clarence
that
makes
him
so
relatable.
“I
think
it’s
the
fact
that
he
will
stop
at
nothing
to
see
that
he
can
win
in
the
ways
that
his
mind
tells
him
he
can,”
Stanfield
revealed.
“That
he
can
actually
manifest
and
he
can
bring
things
forward
that
he’s
starting
off
in
a
place
where
it
may
seem
like
things
are
dreary
but
moving
into
a
better
place
and
I
think
everybody
wants
to
eventually
move
to
a
better
place,
so
I
think
we
identify
with
that.”

Samuel
also
spoke
to
Global
Grind
about
what
he
hopes
audience
will
take
away
from
the
film.
“I
want
them
to
take
away
the
fact
that
it’s
all
possible
and
knowledge
is
stronger
than
belief,”
Samuel
told
Global
Grind.
“You
can
believe
all
you
like
—
have
knowledge,
have
knowledge
of
God,
have
knowledge
of
self,
knowledge
of
the
world,
knowledge
of
your
environment
and
of
your
life.
Knowledge
is
stronger
than
belief
and
you
can
do
it,
man
you
can
do
it.
I
really
want
people
to
walk
away
inspired
and
with
the
knowledge
of
self,
yeah
motivated,
spiritually
motivated.”
