Movie Review: DOCUMENTO PARA LA HISTORIA...
Summary: 5 Stars
AleluyA!!!!, MARAVILLOSO TENER LA OPORTUNIDAD DE DISFRUTAR DE ESTE FILM DE KING VIDOR QUE HACE MUCHOS AÑOS QUERÍA VER. VIDOR NOS PINTA DE UNA MANERA SENCILLA EL AMBIENTE DE ESTA COMUNIDAD AFRO AMERICANA DE COMIENZOS DEL SIGLO XX,LA COSECHA DE ALGODÓN, SU COMERCIO, LOS CANTOS RELIGIOSOS (GOSPEL SONGS), LAS BANDAS DEL NACIENTE JAZZ (DIXIELAND), LA INFLUENCIA DE LO COUNTRY O RURAL, CON EL BANJO Y EL BAILE TAP, EN LAS CELEBRACIONES FAMILIARES Y LA FUERZA DE LA RELIGIÓN BAUTISTA, EN LA LUCHA DEL BIEN Y EL MAL REPRESENTADO POR EL JUEGO, LA AMBICIÓN DE DINERO Y LA ATRACCIÓN SEXUAL, CON EL FINAL FELÍZ CARACTERÍSTICO DE LAS PELÍCULAS DE ÉPOCA.
LOS AMANTES DEL JAZZ, DEL CINE Y SU HISTORIA, VAN A TENER MÁS QUE UNA PELÍCULA, UN DOCUMENTO CON UNA EXCELENTE FOTOGRAFÍA Y BUEN SONIDO. ¡ALELUYA!!!!
Movie Review: The First Black movie Star
Summary: 5 Stars
Before Lena, before Dorthy there was Nina. Nina Mae McKinney was fabulous to look at. Begining her career as a Harlem hot girl. Nina made this, some would say her claim to fame movie. Which far outweighs her roles with Paul Robeson. Where I believe her talent was not used as generously as it should have been.
For the reviewer who stated Nina was married to Sarahs first husband. Please check your history. Nina was married to Jimmy Monroe, younger brother of Harlem club owner Clarke Monroe (uptown house later Montons Playhouse birthplace of Bop) Jimmy Monroe later married singer Billie Holiday (1941) whilst Nina was still living on Europe.
Nina is a great in this king vidor flick.
Movie Review: Hallelujah!
Summary: 5 Stars
Warner Home Video wisely places an opening disclaimer on this 75 year old chestnut, acknowledging that the portrayal of blacks is of its own time, and inevitably reflects some outdated racial stereotypes. This is simply for context, and should not discourage game viewers from staying put. "Hallelujah!" is a fascinating sociological document, and a deftly executed early talkie that tells a universal human story. We get a rare, tantalizing glimpse of Nina Mae McKinney, a charismatic singer/entertainer who enjoyed considerable success off-screen. The spiritual-style music is also first-rate, with two songs contributed by Irving Berlin.Movie Review: HALLELUJAH!! It's Finally on DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I watch this movie on Cable every chance I get, and I never get tired of it. This story of lust and redemption is classic. Nina Mae McKinney never got her props, and it's a shame. I'm reading a book on the early years of Black Hollywood, and she ended up working as a maid for some of Hollywood's top actors and execs. I hope she's looking down, proud that people are really getting a chance to see what a true talent she was!
PS- She was actually married to Sarah Vaughan's husband first... :-)
Movie Review: worth watching
Summary: 5 Stars
Considering when and how this movie was made, it really deserves more recognition. True, it's not going to be the same movie-watching experience that we're use to, but search the Internet and read the history of this movie and the bios of the actors and film makers and the context of the period when this was produced and see if you're not more impressed with this movie.
