The black man's movie requirements

[TVC15]

The movie has penetrated urban black culture in a way that it hasn't in the mainstream.  That's the truth.

So basically, urban rap culture is black culture?

Huh? Where did you get this? This has nothing to with rap culture.

To be fair, Scarface is a HUGE part of rap culture.

That's only because it's a big part of black culture to begin with.

So how did black people steal it in the first place?  And again, why?  Why not a less crass rags to riches story?  Why not Rocky?

[Phoenix Dark]

TVC: didn't you know only black people are poor?

[Mupepe]

black movies are pretty shitty all in all.

they're either...

a). we're opressed, white man be holding us down
b.) look at me, i'm a girl and i'm black and sassy (black comedies)
c.) we be gangsta  bang bang


The only good black movies are black family comedies.  they're awesome.

Shut the fuck up.

why don't you argue instead of acting like a bitch and validating my opinions?

[Himu]

Maybe because it's true?

Rocky isn't a rags-to-riches story.  Not the first one, anyway.  And why would black people gravitate towards a movie where the bad guy is a caricature of Muhammed Ali?

[Mupepe]

Maybe because it's true? 

thanks.

i really do love black family comedies.  seriously.  they're awesome.

[Beezy]

Maybe because it's true? 

Brown Sugar doesn't fall under any of those.

At least he's a white dude playing a caricature of a black man instead of an Italian dude playing a caricature of a Cuban.  And yes, Rocky is a rags to riches story.  Just because riches doesn't mean money or victory in its case doesn't change the fact that it's a pretty clear LOSER TURNS WINNAR story.

[Himu]

But seriously, there are a few black movies that don't fit into those categories at all.

Beezy, did you see this movie?

Maybe because it's true? 

Brown Sugar doesn't fall under any of those.

Sarcasm. Antwone Fischer doesn't either.

[Ichirou]

Except there's no physical evidence of the "rags to riches" part, whereas that is available in EXCESS in Scarface.

And I was referring to Carl Weathers' role when I was talking about caricatures.  I don't think black audiences would gravitate towards a movie where the person you are rooting against is african american.

[Beezy]

Yeah, but I don't remember it too good. I know L&B was really popular though. Have you ever seen this?

[Himu]

The Wood is DOPE. The part where he gets a boner in class

[TVC15]

Except there's no physical evidence of the "rags to riches" part, whereas that is available in EXCESS in Scarface.

That's a rather shallow reason.

My bad.  Brain fart on that one.  Even still, Carl Weathers is a badass, and he WINS.  He beats the hero of the movie.  How could black people see that as anything but praiseworthy?

[Phoenix Dark]

BACK ON TOPIC


It's basically a take on the "good brother, bad brother" theme, but in an urban setting. Very sad movie, but I thought it was cool. Plus Forrest Whittiker is damn crazy in the beginning of the movie. Plus Jada is in it

I love that movie.  There are good black movies, but by and by, my comment was pretty much true for 98% of black movie releases.

Because he's presented as a cocky asshole throughout the movie and even at the end, an amateur Italian American boxer is able to go the distance with the champ.  That's insulting.

Yeah it was good. It was also the first time that I ever saw Sanaa Lathan.

As opposed to the very positive character of Tony Montana?

My mom gave this to me on vhs yeeeeeaaaaars back. I still have it in it's shrinking wrap. Still haven't watched it.

Tony Montana at least has big cojones and kills a few dozen people before finally succumbing to the numerous bullets riddling his body.

The true black story:

[Oblivion]

[Van Cruncheon]

fuck you, blade 2 is the ultimate racial commentary. you KNOW that deep inside your animu-addled little afrikan heart you think every white boy is really a pale corpse out to suck your soul. wesley snipes is the ultimate threat to impotent undead white male patriarchy: he lives in both worlds --  the sunlit "warm" egalitarian tribal culture of the cradle of life, and the deceitful nightbound caste culture of the european oppressors, and that with that gift he will ultimately lead the world into a bright multicolored future where the shadows cannot exist. you know it. if the nation of aztlan doesn't get there first. or something.

Scarface is one of the least likable characters ever.  He's a hotheaded scumbag.  I am not one to glorify mobsters, but at least Vito Corleone was rational, and smart.  His rise to power included interesting, strategic plans.  Scarface is an idiot.  He only became rich because he was crazy.  He never did anything interesting, just killed people.  His death was inevitable and when it came, I thought 'good riddance.'

Plus I hate when they make characters have "morals" by having them averse to killing woman and children. 

[The Sceneman]

The Last Dragon is amazing, Bamboozled is funny for the wrong reasons. Scarface is shit, and shitty list

[Powerslave]

Scarface is probably my favorite movie ever. I saw it way before it became a hype amongst hiphop so you can't count me in on the bandwagon crowd. It's just one of those movies you can keep watching over again because it's so fun. There isn't anything really boring in it and while it may be a little bit over the top (the movie wasn't intended as a documentary anyway) it still is very realistic. But then you of course got these people hating on the movie for the wrong reasons, ie. that it's associated with hiphop/black people.

I don't think any moviescene can beat the finale of Scarface. There is an incredible build-up towards the inevitable ending. Nobody thought Tony would actually survive it, from the moment they saw Sosa's army raiding his property, but I'm sure everyone still had that little impossible hope cause you were rooting so much for that fantastic character Pacino played.

No.

these two are all you need to know for black movies, these are probably the greatest two black movies in the history of blackness...

that could quite possibly the most realistic black movie ever made IF he dies at the end.
