the thing about love jones is that it captured so many aspects of black culture..from friends, to homegirls, to jazz, to neo sou, steppin, chitown culture, poetry, writng, clubs, open mics, sex, relationships, true love, marriage, parties, just everything that positive blacks be on. it really let people know the real meaning of being black...everything was realistic and the characters i felt like I knew...especially Shiela, the mutual homegirl, I really could relate to all of the support roles...damn good movie
