Movie Reviews of Unforgivable Blackness - The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson
Movie Review: A story about America's first Black Social Rebel
Summary: 5 Stars
"Jack Johnson is a dandy" as the title of his 1927 autobiography states. This film is as well. This film reflects his life in a balanced way. It shows his early life, his quest for the heavyweight title, his personal life during those years, and race relations in America during the early 20th Century. It also shows the hypocritical quest against him by use of the Mann Act, his defeat and his life after boxing. Whether you like him or not, you have to admit he was a social rebel who challenged American segregation, racism, and oppresion on an individual level the way The NAACP, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, SNCC, The Black Panther Party and others challanged American society as a whole.
Jack Johnson believed that any man, including a Black man had a right to live his private life as he chooses. This included dating, having consensual sex, and marrying a woman of their choice regardless of her color, race, religion, national or ethnic background. He also felt that this applied to others as well. Yes, he was a true rebel and an inspiration to those of us who agree with him. I recommend that you read his autobiography as well.
