Movie Review

The only reason I gave this movie 3 stars is because: 1) it is the first of its kind to explore black males perspective about relationships with black women 2) the delivery was different and interesting by first introducing the concept on youtube and asking peoples opinions. So this movie deserves a 3 from an artistic point of view. The other part of me questions the validity of this movie. Black people have all different types of experiences with each other, and it is unfair to lay the issues as one vs the other. there is a gray area which exist. For example, The Haitian man who was the lead character in the story, represented a particular black man not usually observed in the community. Not all black men have jobs that pay well enough for his woman not to work and for him to buy and maintain a home. Not every black man has a degree and the particular independence he has exhibited. in order for this documentary to be valid it needed to show different scenarios. there are some black women who actually support black men. Would this black man also be considered in the documentary? This movie portrayed black males as a victim both society and his home life. It is unfair to blame black womens personalities for your behavior to leave.
