Sick And Tired Of These Black Movies Being All The Same

[Mr. Manhattan]

Two slave movies and a reboot is our best offering? Black Panther is something different, i'll give you that. White people alienate us all the time and it works for them. Look at all those blockbuster titles being pumped out every year with little to no black people in them.

Kevin Hart and The Rock had a blockbuster hit

theres this movie i'm betting you didn't see
Race (2016 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

oh remember this modern day classic

Stop searching for Tyler Perry movies breh

Exactly

I don't mind those type of black movies.

Most of those are good movies too.. From Boyz in the Hood, to Friday, Baby Boy, The Wood, Lottery Ticket, ATL, Dope, etc.

At least most of us can relate

I see the point of the thread tho. Tired of black people only being in the hood or something. Most black movies do have a certain theme.

But like i said, its why most black actors look up to Will, Denzel, Idras, etc. theyre in big movies not necessarily about black struggles, slavery, hoods, etc.

Its why i fukked with Creed heavy, abd any movie with black folk doing different shyt.

Exactly! Flight is one of my favorite movies from Denzel why? Because it was different and damn good at the same time. Denzel, Idris, Will, and a couple others are proof that we don't have to tell the same ol story all the time about selling drugs in the hood for people to buy tickets to the movie

We don't have much young actors/actresses either

i kinda agree

but we do have a few they're just not getting their shine

Those aren't normal or completely black focused though.. Despite black leads and being great movies.

I see what OP is saying though. Its why im looking forward to Black Panther as well. Ill be the first in line for a black superhhero thats also an African King and a majority RESPECTED black cast with majority black actors and directors

Because young brehs/brehettes go on forums like the coli and see everyone shytting on everything that's not stem so they work on that 6 cert lifestyle instead

Can we get a sci-fi or fantasy movie? It's all I want...

Which is why Love Jones will always be a special movie to me....it felt very genuine. Like it was telling a realistic story of two people in Chicago.

 

[Ol’Otis]

its not too many black filmmakers out there

Black Hollywood" is literally under a hundred people and
the majority are actors

we can say Kevin Hart hustle is top notch
but lets not get it twisted he's being pushed/backed up by Hollywood

Race was low key a white savior movie

KH and The rock movie was garbage

 

[Red Shield]

Black funding will allow there to be more different types of black movies..

because if you are expecting hollywood to just do that shyt. Then be prepared to wait forever

 

[AintNoCrampInYaMouthTho]

That's because some black directors, writers, and producers are either scared to do something else or just want to cash in. Ain't expecting Hollywood to do it
