Movie Review: The "Black Stallion" rises again and so does his desecration.........
Summary: 5 Stars
Spike Lee is an excellent director and Mr. Genet is an excellent author. The film's topography shows the reality that the universe is changing. Attitudes and politics are changing.
Unfortunately, Mr. Lee had to tout the feminist and lesbian vote by not depicting why these women are using the "role reversal." If this were an autobiography, I think that the audience would see that some, not all, of the women in the film have been victims of male torture. In one scene, Fatima's live-in lover says, "I don't even feel like a woman" since she didn't get pregnant. My question, then, is "Is Fatima a male in their relationship?" Also, an additional question is "Why do these lesbian women have to identify roles in their relationships?" Why is Fatima's lover cooking dinner for both of them, after she walks in the condo with a business suit (in one scene)?
Finally, Jack is portrayed as a victim. He is not. Jack is a Wharton graduate who feels denigrated to consort to other forms of employment and/or career alternatives like: teaching, working at McDonald's, or playing nursemaid to his sick father. Therefore, he does not have to be a "stallion" sending his spermatoza into women who are paying him. Furthermore, Jack doesn't have to feed the children that he is creating. He is not the victim of rape and furthermore, he signs a "release of parental responsibility." This fact creates the stereotypical "black stallion." Jack, an educated man, becomes an irresponsible prototype of the black male who does not support his progeny. Here is where Spike shows that the black male stereoptype is alive.
The movie is worth watching so that you THINK. As ususal, Mr. Lee leaves you guessing. He does not answer the questions for you. You have to think, probe, and delve. The storyline is what makes the film receive a 5 but, if you are not in the mood for thought provocation, watch something else.
Movie Review: A Remarkable Film You Don't Want To Miss
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a really remarkable film and I am astonished that it didn't get more critical acclaim or advertising related to the film. It's a great movie. It's not just a film about a man who goes around impregnanting lesbians as the blurb on the back of the box kinda makes the film seem. The film stars Anthony Mackie, a new actor who portrays Jack Armstrong. At the beginning of the film it seems as if Jack has got it going on. He is the vice-president of a pharmaceutical corporation, lives in a nice apartment, and is ivy league educated. He is a brother that has it all together in every department--except in the romance department. After his company goes into a downward spiral--in which he is fingered for the downfall, he lets an ex girlfriend convince him to donate his sperm to her and her girlfriend at $5,000 a piece. When his assetts are frozen and he loses his job, he feels compell to continue to sell his sperm. With his ex-girlfriend as his manager, she gets him $10,000 a pop. This film is wonderful and thought provoking. Jack gets into a bit of legal trouble and he starts to look to his religion, his family and other factors when it comes to whether or not he will continue to sell his manhood. There were several things about this film that irked me a bit, but that is why I like Spike's films because there is always something that bothers me and makes me think. When the women went into labor the scene was so over the top and they were all screaming and hollering. However, I appreciate the details in the film. For instance, when Jack was having sex with the various women, he made love to each one of them a different way. He also developed a newfound friendship with his ex-girlfriend who left him for another woman years prior. I recommend this film to anyone who wants to see a real thought provoking film. It also has a lot to do with whistleblowing and the state of the world today.Movie Review: LOVED IT, not too unrealistic of a film either!
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed this film very much! My girl and I found it very entertaining. I don't find it insulting at all. I mean... its not entirely inaccurate!! Women want babies. They need sperm to have them. My girl and I are at that milestone ourselves... in the next 1 to 2 yrs... we want one... it's that time when you start weighing those options! (And they are not exactly too far from the one this film depicted!) However, the film IS somewhat boastful (I mean, what woman really has to PAY a man $10,000 to have sex??? Baby or no Baby!!) Anyway, I enjoyed the realism... The main character Fatima (Dare I not mention this woman is sexy as hell) she was still attracted to Jack. Which is only natural, it's human. Since when does being a lesbian mean you are less than human? The woman had feelings for him, so what... but she followed her Heart. And that's what I enjoyed the most about the film. She wasn't trying to be something she is not. Her relationship was very sincere and the character had a strong REALNESS about her. I enjoyed this more than some other quote/unquote "Lesbian" films. Anyway, the film itself was a definite Spike Lee Joint, always unique, always controversial... I enjoyed it and I give the film two big huge thumbs up!Movie Review: A Surprising Blend of Movie Genres.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have never seen anything like this before. It is an interesting and thought provoking blend of genre movies. The themes in this movie are rarely addressed in a non-stereotypical manor.
The acting is great...all of the actors handled this unusual piece with
great skill...all at once mildly humorous and verfy poinient. This movie has been out a long time so I won't go into much detail here except to say
get this movie if you have not seen it.
I was struck by the lack of enlightenment among the many reviewers on this page. I would think that most adults are not aware that sexually amor
phous people do exist. The plot line of this movie is not nearly as silly
as many of my fellow writers seem to believe. I ask them to google "lesbian sexuality" and prepare to be amazed as I was...that is if
one delves into the data and first hand narratives of this fascinating group of people. I thought I knew about them but only had a head full of pop culture nonsense....also check out "10 Most Common Myths About Lesbians".
Movie Review: Gotta Think Outside The Box....
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought this was an excellent movie for various reasons. One being the fact that, although the acting wasn't all that great, it held my attention enough to make me "want" to know what was going to happen next. Also, it's topic was one that hadn't been previously explored.
No matter how outlandish and unbelievable the storyline is, there is always that grain of possibility to it. Simply because it is something you or I may not do, does not mean that it is entirely impossible for someone else. It all depends on the mental, emotional and spiritual state of the parties involved.
I give Spike Lee his due props for this movie. As always, he gives us a perspective not over played and underlying issues to examine.
Without a doubt, I would reccomend this movie to others......
