as it is, its some cut.

THAT section, along with the entire
premise of MONSTER'S BALL, just shows
me how fucked up and warped racial
beliefs are, with regards to black
men and black women (from the viewpoint
of white men.)

in BOTH MOVIES, black men are depicted
as powerless and emasculated and
unable to do shit for their women or
protect them from fucked up, racist
white men.

which is wack enough.

but on top of that, both movies also
say that the very white dudes that
fucked these black men over and degrade
these black women can be redeemed
by black women, once the black dude
has been neutralized.

i'm not gone spoil the movie, but
really, the matt dillon/thandie newton/
terrence howard portion of the movie
was some of the most offensive
frustrating cinema i've ever watched.


take the whole EXAMINATION OF RACE context
out of this movie, and its different.

as it stands? that portion of this movie -
along with monster's ball - really solidified
my idea about how white folks see black men
and black women in america.

i had to fight back a colin ferguson
moment in the bathroom after it was
all over.
