Im glad you did this video💯I was just looking up black directors last week and way too many of them had trauma films or just low quality low effort movies in their filmography🤦🏾♂️It has to stop
I really felt this video you dropped, it pierced my very soul. I missed the 80s and 90s when we had movies like; Coming to America, Harlem Nights and Boomerang. Those three movies alone starring Eddie Murphy covered three different genres.
Facts fam, movies back then resonated with the culture!!! There's no more black staples man, and it's heart breaking. Damon Wayans got a new sitcom out with his son, and I'm making sure I tune in every week lol we need that now
I agree with you. A young Chris Rock was in Krush Groove. New Jack City, Boyz N The Hood, Juice & Menace II Society is the Mount Rushmore of hood classics. Martin came on Thursday nights on Fox along with Living Single & New York Undercover.
Its Not Dead per say its just evolved. I saw Nickel Boys at Middleburg and the director did a Q&A after. He didnt want to dumb it down since the Dossier School was some scary shit.He pulled off something very ambtious and if the studio does right (Brad Pitt is one of the producers) it can be another Moonlight. Where we are now though with Streaming theres enoungh room for everyone to eat. The bigger issue though is that the market is overly satuatred. You hit the nail on the head thouhgh be the change you want to see and Black Dollars do have power.
I think part of the issue is that the mid-budget film, which would included a lot of black films, has pretty much disappeared. Streaming killed them. It used to be possible to for a mid-budget film to not preform well in theaters but then make up the budget on physical media later, including rentals. But the physical media money isn't there anymore, so now movies have to draw a theater audiences and so we get big budget "tentpole" movies, genre films (horror does well with low to mid budgets), and the occasional kid-friendly film. But the 10-30 million dollar adult drama? They don't make those anymore. Nowadays films need to be under 5 million or over 100 million. Very little happens in between.
Makes sense, the medium movie is dead. And if something does get made we gotta spend 20 to watch it on movie site or rent on Google play, annnnd most likely nobody even know about em smh
Honestly - I couldn’t agree more. Black cinema has severely declined, and some things we get now seem to just be “pandering” to certain audiences, not showcasing true things like how Coming to America did. That era of black cinema was almost top tier.
I love the video fam and you made some GREAT points and I appreciated the passion you shared on the subject. I can’t say too much of course, but I do think all these streaming services in a way have SPOILT the cinema experience for a lot of movies
I blame that movie chiraq with Spike Lee that was an embarrassment to my city
Yea that was bad, but it did introduce us Teyana Parris lol
It was worst than Girl 6.
We thought it was gonna be jordan peele but idk anymore

Word, make blk films fun again...and not in a Soul Plane type way.
I definitely haven't seen a black movie I've liked since Outlaw Johnny Black
And that got a limited...and I mean extremely limited release

Nickel Boys was definitely different, he used techniques I've never seen in film before lol I'm curious how ppl gonna receive the whole Pov gimmick

14:30 Into the spider verse. Which imma be honest, is the only black film sequel I'm waiting on.
