Movie Reviews of Angelitos Negros
Movie Review: I thought I'd seen it all!
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm so glad that some things have changed when it comes to race relations. The offensive manner in which blacks were depicted in the film made me cringe on a number of occasions. Perhaps it was due to the English subtitles. But being called a tar ball as if it's something complimentary was highly suspect. Because of the translations this film was laughable when I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be dramatic. What it was instead was melodramatic to the max! If you've seen Imitation of Life, you know the gist of the story. Except the white-looking black girl in this film doesn't know about her heritage. And she detests blacks. Thinks they're beneath her. I'm giving this four stars because, as I've said, I suspect the Spanish to English translations were messed up big time. Otherwise I think the actors were excellent. And I would not deign to malign their memory by calling their work horrible. The English translation, though, leaves a lot to be desired.
