Movie Reviews of Scandalize My Name: Stories From the Blacklist
Movie Review: Great DVD, but it has some annoying DRM!
Summary: 4 Stars
This documentary was a wonderful piece of work chock full of amazing interviews, photos, and vintage footage that makes you feel like you're right in the middle of the legendary black artist movement. I enjoyed this documentary thoroughly because not only was it a wonderful political account, it was also an incredible history of early black cinema as well. This documentary is a must for anyone with a general interest in early to mid 20th century black history.
The big problem with this dvd is it takes full use of an irritating DRM technology called UOP prohibition that will stop you from fast forwarding certain parts of the dvd. Commercials, logos, etc. all unskippable, you can't even use the stop button. The only way to stop the player is to shut it all the way off with the power button. I was really, really surprised to see this nasty drm on such a great dvd. I have other BET Starz dvds and they aren't as annoying.
Summary of Scandalize My Name: Stories From the Blacklist
Scandalize My Name: Stories from the Blacklist examines the way Red Scare politics was used to impede the emergence of African-Americans as full participants in the political, social and cultural aspects of post-war American life. Because television was born in this era, and adopted the political attitudes of the time, the story is told through the confrontation of African-American performers with blacklists, loyalty oaths and discrimination in casting. Hosted by three-time Academy Award? nominee Morgan Freeman, Scandalize My Name is brought to life by African-American directors, actors and scholars who used their talents to advocate for social and cultural equality.Art House & International DVD Video
