Movie Reviews of Idlewild (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Love It
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie. If you were expecting a rapper movie, I guess you would be disappointed. I don't even like rap. However, I always appreciated their videos because they weren't typical and very creative. I believe that people who aren't that fond of contemporary rap will love this movie.
It obviously that these young men have knowledge of their people's history and incorporated it. They are not your typical rappers. If you expected them to be clowning and wearing outrageous outfits and all, then disappointment would be inevitable. The men and the women generally where classically dressed. They reminded me of old pictures of my grandparent during their youth. They were dressed to the nines.
In addition, I suspect some fans did'nt like it because it did not cater to sterotypes. This is the reason I love it. Their is no cooning and buffoning here. Sorry y'all. Please turn on MTV and BET for that.
The cinematography was so freakin' excellent. Andre Benjamin is absolutely not a singer and his acting skills are something to be desired, yet I still love him in the movie.
Big Boi was a suprise to me. He is usually in the background and doesn't get the play that Andre gets. He is a pretty good actor, and I can see him doing big things that have nothing to do with rapping. Both of these young men are very talanted in their own individual ways.
I suggest y'all look at some classic African American films. I loved the ending with the tap dancing. I almost jumped up and shouted. I felt the spirit tryin' to creep on me.
Nothing in this world is new. If you want to see where they lifted the idea for the tap dancing scene, check out the movie Stormy Weather with the Nicholas Brothers, starring Lena Horne.
This movie did not get its just deserts, butI feel that it will be a classic. I think folks over 30 and don't care for rap generally will appreicate a movie like this. I really think more mature audiences will appreciate this film. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and as far it being cliche and predictable, in my opinion 90% of commericially released films fits this category - boring, uninspiring and cliche. I rarely go to the theatre because I feel that most movies released aren't worth the time, money or effort to get to the theatre.
