736860, Micro - great movie. Macro - reality is depressing as fuck.

I'd like a movie where Black love isn't interrupted by white people's base nature, but this ain't that. When they mentioned Love Jones in the film, I thought, "oh yeah, a Black love story without a white person bringing rape or murder into it. (Beale St)" It's like the message of "hey white people, quit being assholes" is being told to the wrong audience and while I agree with the sentiment, the beauty of Black people doesn't need antagonistic white involvement - I already exist in America.
Escapism is great when you actually get to escape.

Other than that, the leads killed it and I'm glad it exists. You saw the trailer, so when ol boy shows up, more than a few people said "I can't wait til they kill this motherfucker," myself included. And applause when it happened.
