16206, Yes, go rent Jungle Fever Posted by izzattafakt, Mon Feb-18-02 10:30 AM
and the movies in #7 are excellent examples (the ones I have seen, anyway).
Then also go see "He Got Game"--on the one hand you've got a pretty normal sex scene with Denzel and _____(the name's escaping me right now, the white model that was in Fifth Element), and a sensual sex scene between Ray Allen and Rosario Dawson. On the other hand you have Ray Allen getting freaky, porno-style, with these two really sexually agressive white girls (who look like they could be real life porno stars). Its an interesting take on white woman / black male sex as a counterpoint to what you see in "traffic".
I know what you're saying, though, nice examples are not seen often enough in big-budget films, and all it takes are one or two ignorant / raunchy ones that will stick out in your head. But I would also say that sex in movies in general is far from normal, outside of what some would deem "chick flicks" there's a lot of weird sex going on between the white folks too--the first examples I think of are "Basic Instinct" and "Crash".
I had no intention of seeing Monster's Ball because it looked ignorant in the trailers. Plus, they cast Puffy.
peace
