&lt;div&gt;'''Above the Rim''' (1994) is an American sports drama movies co-written and directed by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Pollack Jeff Pollack] in his directorial debut. The screenplay was written by Barry Michael Cooper,[2] adapted from a story by Benny Medina.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Above_the_Rim&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Story of Kyle-Lee Watson, a promising high school basketball star, and his relationships with Birdie, a powerful drug dealer, and Birdie's brother, Thomas 'Shep' Sheppard, himself once a promising high school star at Kyle's school, now employed as a security guard.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109035/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Controversy==&lt;br /&gt;
The movie is extremely predictable cheesy and stereotypical, it is virtually racially profiling from the outset. The movies were popular and deemed fresh gritty realistic stories from the hood, showing the middle/rich classes life on the street and how blacks youths were badly treated. It also only tended to damage minority groups, giving young blacks a bad reputation&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many scene that has much racial slur thrown by the same black people as seen on this dialogue :&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bugaloo: Yo, Kyle, tell this funny-looking nigga how long it took me to call you back after you beeped me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kyle-Lee: A couple of minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bugaloo: A couple of minutes, Mo. That's called good business. Prompt service. You know what I'm saying?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Motaw: Get the fuck out of my ear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bugaloo: Anyway, yo, Kyle, I told Birdie that you was in. Money was hyped. He had like an orgasm and shit. I think that nigger like winning more than money and twice as much as pussy and shit. Motherfucker jerk off to winning.&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
Bugaloo: Don't mind that nigger. He's just mad. He'll be sittin' the bench and you playing point and shit. He got his period and shit. I'll get you some pads. Mini or maxi, what you take? Tampons?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Motaw: Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something! First of all, I don't give a fuck what Birdie said. And I don't give a damn about this nigga in the back. I'll bury the both of you motherfuckers. Better start listening and stop playing. Hold up, pull over right here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kyle-Lee: I thought we're going to the spot?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Motaw: Nigga, I said pull over&lt;br /&gt;

==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Caucasian Ben du Toit was born in South Africa, marries Susan, has a son, Johan, and teaches to earn a living. During the 1980s, the government declares a state of emergency, arrests and tortures tens of thousands of black residents, even as young as eleven-years-old. One of them, Jonathan, who happens to be the son of his gardener, Stanley, is arrested and subsequently killed by the Police while allegedly trying to escape. This sudden death arouses his suspicions, he decides to probe into this matter and ensure that no one gets away with murder. Little does he realize that soon he will be labelled a &amp;quot;traitor&amp;quot; by people of his own race.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097243/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Empowerment ==&lt;br /&gt;
Ben Du Toit, a South African–born school teacher who is forced to confront the reality of his racial privilege when the son of his Black gardener is brutally beaten by white police officers. He joins forces with a local activist, Stanley; a lawyer; and a journalist to expose the murderous police captain. The white protagonist delivers subversive messages about complicity and privilege; but in the end, writer-director Euzhan Palcy lets her Black hero have the last word. Anti-police protests have erupted around the globe over police killings of innocent Black women and men. In Hollywood, in the early 1980s, Palcy was one of the only Black &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.vulture.com/2020/06/euzhan-palcy-remembers-the-fight-to-make-a-dry-white-season.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;voices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Controversy==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The movie is educative because too many people ignore what white men did to the blacks at that time and even recently. Nowadays, colored people endure discrimination in many countries even if apartheid, slavery have been abolished, so it is a very interesting film, it shows a real and current problem : racism which still exists in our society. &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ben wife's who has a racist behaviour recognize what could happen after she knews about the policy are pictured on this dialogue:'''Ben du Toit''': Jesus, Susan, this is not just about Gordon! This is about all of us!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Susan du Toit''': No. It's about all of *them*. And I will be damned if I let them destroy my family. I don't want Gordon's ghost in my house! I don't want the one with the dark glasses, any of these kaffirs here ever again! I just want to go back to the way it was!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ben du Toit''': If you had come with me... if you had seen what was happening in that court, you would know that we can never go back to the way it was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Susan du Toit''': I *was* in the court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ben du Toit''': What?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Susan du Toit''': Listen to me, Ben. I heard what the police did, and I'm not saying it was right. But you think the blacks wouldn't do the same thing to us, and worse, if they had half the chance? Do you think they'll let us go on living our nice, quiet, peaceful lives if they win? They'll swallow us up! It's our country, Ben, we made every inch of it! Look at the rest of Africa, it's a mess... It's like in war. You have to choose sides. You are not one of them and they don't want you to be!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;'''She's Gotta Have It''' (1986) is an American black-and-white comedy-drama movies written, produced, edited and directed by [[wikipedia:Spike_Lee|Spike Lee]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/She%27s_Gotta_Have_It&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Nola Darling is an independent-minded young woman who knows what she likes and what she wants out of life. She's attractive, likes sex and has no trouble attracting men but she knows what kind of man she wants. She also attracts women like Opal Gilstrap, who hope she'll 'come around'. The three men in her life - Jamie Overstreet, Mars Blackmon and Greer Childs - all provide their point of view on Nola and on their relationship with her.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091939/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Empowerment ==&lt;br /&gt;
The world still isn’t ready for this movies. In 1986, Black cinema wasn’t in a renaissance. In fact, it had barely been uplifted, except for a few short spaces of time. But when Black creatives did hold some agency, even during early ‘70s, race movies were stymied when World War II began and Hollywood absorbed the Black actors who starred in them. In this period, white directors began to take over Blaxploitation films from its Black originators, the form losing its boldness under the guise of stereotypes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spike lee first movies upon graduating from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, completely changed Black cinema, from its Black female protagonist to the African-American gaze the new filmmaker offered through his lens. When written, Nola Darling was light-years ahead of most Black female characters who’d come before her in the nearly forty years prior. Sexually confident and open—intelligent, artistic, and sophisticated&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://thespool.net/reviews/movies/shes-gotta-have-it-spike-lee-retro-review/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Controversy==&lt;br /&gt;
Being a Spike Lee film, it has a critical sense about the racial issue, implicit since the beginning, but being the first film by the American director, this criticism was not yet refined, as in his subsequent work. The movie is supposed to be told through Darling's perspective, but then the rest of the film is basically the guys take on Darling. Greer constantly puts her down racially, claiming that he could leave her for a white woman, Mars talking negatively about her behind her back every chance he got.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The movie exists outside the confines of racial trauma and systemic racism. These are thriving Black men and women existing within the cultural milieu of Fort Greene Park almost unencumbered. There’s truthfulness to Lee’s vision, partly born from mashing both guerilla and documentary styles — seen through his use of his brother’s photography of a vibrant Brooklyn and his now-ubiquitous fourth-wall-breaking monologues. &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;'''''Beasts of No Nation''' (''2015) is an American-Ghanaian war drama movie written, co-produced and directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, about a young boy who becomes a child soldier as his country goes through a horrific war. Shot in Ghana and starring Idris Elba, Abraham Attah, Ama K. Abebrese, Grace Nortey, David Dontoh, and Opeyemi Fagbohungbe,.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beasts_of_No_Nation_(film)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Plot ==&lt;br /&gt;
Follows the journey of a young boy, Agu, who is forced to join a group of soldiers in a fictional West African country. While Agu fears his commander and many of the men around him, his fledgling childhood has been brutally shattered by the war raging through his country, and he is at first torn between conflicting revulsion and fascination Depicts the mechanics of war and does not shy away from explicit, visceral detail, and paints a complex, difficult picture of Agu as a child soldier.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1365050/?ref_=ttpl_pl_tt&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Controversy ==&lt;br /&gt;
''Beasts of No Nation'', shows more damage to the African image by leading audiences to believe that Africa is solely a primitive and war-torn place, thereby continuing the negative stereotypes of the continent. There is a scene where the NDF and tribal elders yell at, beat, and even kill some of the initiates while they prepare to be part of the NDF. Again, this calls back to the violent and primitive stereotype that is placed on Africa. While it was an engaging scene to watch, it does nothing to represent how Africa is but rather shows the exotic Africa that viewers expect to see. Due to this, the message of the film, the brutality of civil conflicts, is overshadowed by racist stereotypes of the continent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thetorohistoricalreview.org/2017/04/24/the-primitive-beasts-of-a-war-torn-nation-a-film-analysis-of-beasts-of-no-nation/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once viewer going deep on the movies, they will keep noticing more and more things about &amp;quot;Beasts&amp;quot; that feel somehow untrustworthy, or at least not immediately defensible. And it's a short hop from there to the realization that this is the second recent, highly acclaimed film about dark-skinned people not directed by an African or an African-American that has the word &amp;quot;Beasts&amp;quot; in the title. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/beasts-of-no-nation-2015&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;'''Nappily Ever After''' (2018) is an American romantic comedy movies directed by Haifaa al-Mansour and written by Adam Brooks and Cee Marcellus. It is based on the novel of the same name by Trisha R. Thomas.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nappily_Ever_After&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;[[File:Nappily Ever After.png|thumb|Nappily Ever After]]&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Violet Jones doesn't realize it at first but she's dismayed by her superficial, &amp;quot;perfect&amp;quot; life. She has everything she thought she'd need - a successful career, friends and a boyfriend who is a handsome doctor (Whittle). When her fairy tale begins to unravel, so does she. This movie shows what a beautiful, smart, successful woman can do when she starts to look inward instead of outward!&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0365545/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Controversy==&lt;br /&gt;
A black women's hair, is this movies all about, and what it's like for black women to live in a world where they're stigmatized because of their hair. Where they're considered unprofessional and uncivilized if they don't straighten it.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Netflix enters into a much larger conversation in world history through this film, holding up a mirror to repressive Eurocentric beauty ideals as they relate to black women and their hair.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://sojo.net/articles/nappily-ever-after-about-more-hair&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The situations major theme in the film, that what Black women do with their hair is somehow only valid if men deem it so. It has nothing to do with the Black women themselves and all to do with their desirability. The movies also spends a good majority of its time preaching the good gospel of going/returning to natural, but it does this by undermining Black women who are not natural, conceiving of them as inferior in some way.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://wearyourvoicemag.com/way-nappily-ever-attempts-celebrate-black-hair-actually-harmful/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

A unique force in music and popular culture for 70 years, Jones has transcended racial and cultural boundaries; his story is inextricably woven into the fabric of America.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7440432/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Empowerment==&lt;br /&gt;
One of pop music’s most gifted black producers, Quincy Jones, this documentary on his life’s work offers a personalized glimpse into a bygone world of entertainment and the legacy of racism that black artists still grapple with today. &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/quincy-2018&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The movie shows when he’s singled out onstage by Frank Sinatra, serving as the Chairman’s twentysomething arranger in the mid-’60s. Follows him poring over film reels and jotting down melodies as he makes a name for himself as a film composer, becoming one of the first black musicians to do so. It also shows him in the studio with Jackson, whose astronomical solo success under Jones’ auspices turned the already-plenty-famous producer into a genuine international celebrity.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://variety.com/2018/film/reviews/quincy-film-review-toronto-1202933857/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Controversy ==&lt;br /&gt;
On the documentary, Jones is also open about the racism he faced on the road, like when he played a town which had recently lynched a black man before Jones and his men arrived—they relied on their white bus driver to get food, as black men were unable to enter restaurants. Film composer Henry Mancini recalls a time as well when a movie producer reached out to him to see if Mancini would recommend hiring Jones for a potential project. The producer was unsure of whether or not black people could score movies. &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Juanita (2019) is an American drama movie directed by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clark_Johnson Clark Johnson], from a screenplay by Roderick M. Spencer, based upon the novel Dancing on the Edge of the Roof by Sheila Williams. It stars Alfre Woodard and Adam Beach.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juanita_(2019_film)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Juanita film poster.jpg|thumb|Juanita film poster]]&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Fed up with her life, Juanita leaves her grown kids behind and hits the road in search of a fresh start.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6155456/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Empowerment==&lt;br /&gt;
Juanita, a black woman as character on this movie, has wants and desires that the viewers are allowed to see. She’s given space to explore her sexuality, vulnerability, and her shortcomings. This subverts the often overused trope of the strong, stoic, and all-knowing older Black woman that is frequently showcased in mainstream movies as the advisor to the often younger main character. She pushes a narrative of taking care of yourself under a system that can be overbearing for many, and specifically for Black working-class women. Currently, nearly 41 million Americans live below the federal poverty line. Black women in the U.S., like Juanita, are paid 38 percent less than white men and 21 percent less than white women. The poverty rate for Black women is 28.6 percent, and households headed by women, particularly Black and Latina women, still deal with high rates of poverty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although Black women are often at the forefront of causes fighting for justice and equality, and we’ve seen films that focus on the fight, it’s a nice change to see a film that focuses on the care needed to carry on with the struggle. It’s a feel-good movie with fresh humor and nuance.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.peoplesworld.org/article/review-juanita-charmingly-centers-black-woman-self-care-and-power/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Juanita feature complex romances seen through the eyes of black women, and touch on how economics and race affect these pairings. Though not as subtle, Juanita manages to provide a type of representation that is rarely seen on the small or big screen, and this success mainly hinges on Woodard’s performance – she manages to broadcast vitality and sadness in equal measure, and never lets the viewer forget that there is more to this character than her suffering.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/mar/08/juanita-review-alfre-woodard&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;'''''See You Yesterday''''' (2019) is an American science fiction movies directed by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefon_Bristol Stefon Bristol]. It was released on May 17, 2019, by Netflix. This film marks the final film appearance of Michael J.

==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
After her brother is killed in a miscarriage of justice, aspiring inventor Claudette 'CJ' Walker uses her scientific mind to create two time machines, one for her, and the other for her friend Sebastian. As they use the machines to try and alter the day CJ's brother died, they come to learn the ultimatum of time travel: All Actions Have Consequences.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8743064/?ref_=ttpl_pl_tt&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Controversy==&lt;br /&gt;
The movie is about black people having a rough time with the police in Brooklyn (NY) while bullying each other. To stop the white policemen from killing young black American, the &amp;quot;most brilliant&amp;quot; girl in school travels back in time to make changes. The director clearly wanted to make a movie about how badly black people are treated by the police in America, which is a subject too serious to be put in the hands of two kids who only travel back in time to throw slush at their ex boyfriends. &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''See You Yesterday also'' draws on years of tension between black New Yorkers and the New York Police Department, and it places Calvin’s death in the context of Black Lives Matter protests. There are many time-travel movies question whether people can change history. In this movie, the idea becomes a broad metaphor for the rigged systems of social injustice.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/9/18534579/see-you-yesterday-film-review-time-travel-stefon-bristol-spike-lee-tribeca-netflix-2019&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The movie has also a 'political' messages, like cops are evil and kill black people for sport. Even though this movie shows plenty of black-on-black crime, it's still made out to be solely because of racism. For these black travellers, there are only yesterdays to contend with; tomorrow is just out of reach.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/see-you-yesterday-and-the-perilsand-promiseof-time-travelling-while-black&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Clarence Avant, known as “the godfather of black music”, is perhaps not well-known by the general public, but very famous in the music industry. Starting as a manager to pianist-composer Lalo Schifrin, he later founded record labels, served as concert organizer, a special events producer, a fund-raiser for Democratic politicians, and a mentor to several African American execs.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Empowerment==&lt;br /&gt;
Clarence Avant, a power figure in the music industry; it is paramount that African Americans and black people all over the world have this record of History, and are aware that this man lives to move his community and his people forward in more ways than one. It's a great portrayal of how social entrepreneurship can be a major thing in the big money leagues and move entire generations forward.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10289996/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Black Godfather, known as such inside the tightknit music and entertainment fraternity, is music executive Clarence Avant, who quietly became one of the most influential dealmakers in the business over the past six decades. One who has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, had a varied career as a manager, the founder of two record labels and an occasional concert organizer and event producer. But his real influence came from advocating for black artists and advising them on how to get paid what they were worth.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://theundefeated.com/features/how-the-black-godfather-changed-baseball-legend-hank-aarons-life/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Empowerment ==&lt;br /&gt;
Clarence Avant, a power figure in the music industry; it is paramount that African Americans and black people all over the world have this record of History, and are aware that this man lives to move his community and his people forward in more ways than one. It's a great portrayal of how social entrepreneurship can be a major thing in the big money leagues and move entire generations forward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Avant, who has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, had a varied career as a manager, the founder of two record labels and an occasional concert organizer and event producer.

&lt;div&gt;'''''Dolemite Is My Name''''' (2019) is an American biographical comedy drama movies directed by [[wikipedia:Craig_Brewer|Craig Brewer]] . The film stars Eddie Murphy as filmmaker Rudy Ray Moore, who is best known for having portrayed the character of Dolemite in both his stand-up routine and a series of blaxploitation films, which started with ''Dolemite'' in 1975.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolemite_Is_My_Name&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Dolemite is My Name poster.jpg|thumb|Dolemite is My Name poster]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Eddie Murphy portrays real-life legend Rudy Ray Moore, a comedy and rap pioneer who proved naysayers wrong when his hilarious, obscene, kung-fu fighting alter ego, Dolemite, became a 1970s Blaxploitation phenomenon.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8526872/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Empowerment==&lt;br /&gt;
From Dolemite legacy, some Moore's work crossed over to white audiences, he was influential among many black comics and hip-hop stars. Moore inspired everyone in black community from Busta Rhymes to Snoop Dogg. “Without Rudy Ray Moore, there would be no Snoop Dogg, and that’s for real,” said Snoop who cameos in this film. His output as a black filmmaker is especially important regardless of notoriety; sure, ''Dolemite'' is silly and over-the-top, but it was also empowering, especially for black audiences at the time, to see a movie made ''by'' and ''for'' them. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thespool.net/reviews/movies/dolemite-is-my-name-review-eddie-murphy/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The actors, Eddie Murphy,  takes a good idea and runs with it, soars with it, and turns it into a great, if wildly erratic, twofer tribute—to a singular legend of black entertainment culture, and to the transformative power of raunchy, outrageous humor.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.wsj.com/articles/dolemite-is-my-name-review-a-twofer-tribute-11570131861&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Controversy==&lt;br /&gt;
This biographical comedy drama movies shows the story of a black man trying to make and market a film in a world full of shut doors, so it’s about a struggle that’s on some level heroic. At the same time, the movie he’s making is no “Sweetback.” It’s more like an unintentional parody of “Sweetback” — a what-the-hell riff on the whole blaxploitation cosmos, with Rudy playing his own version of Black Caesar or Willie Dynamite: a guy who’s got the killer attitude and the mac-daddy wardrobe, but is basically an out-of-shape fake actor pretending, not very hard, that he knows kung fu.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://variety.com/2019/film/reviews/dolemite-is-my-name-review-eddie-murphy-1203327422/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the opening scene of Dolemite Is My Name, the R-rating is dutifully earned by how fast the colorful range of curse words fly around the record store. Profanity continues throughout the movie. It also goes on to make sweeping generalizations about what black people find entertaining, depicting the black community as only finding humor in vulgarity. According to an ''Encyclopedia Britannica'' article by Yvonne Sims, that African American critics found the stereotypes made possible by the behaviors of the heroes and heroines of the films — which often included drug dealing, violence, and easy sex — be the most pervasive and damaging effect of the movies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Blaxploitation is more than stereotypes that are perceived to bring down the black race and their respectability,” University of Iowa cinematic-arts Professor Christopher Harris said. &amp;quot;The film stumbles across thin lines between its attempts at humor, moments of tenderness, and the often-uncomfortable depictions of race.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://dailyiowan.com/2019/10/29/opinion-dolemite-is-my-name-dances-the-line-between-blaxploitation-and-empowerment/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Uncorked (2020) is an American drama movie, written and directed by Prentice Penny. It stars Mamoudou Athie, Courtney B. Vance, Niecy Nash, Matt McGorry, Sasha Compère, Gil Ozeri, Kelly Jenrette, Bernard David Jones, Melisia Lomax and Meera Rohit Kumbhani.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncorked_(2020_film)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
A young black man in his twenties, Elijah, works at a wine business and at his family's local barbecue restaurant, where his father Louis and mother Sylvia also work. Louis expects Elijah to take over the business someday but he isn't interested. Elijah has to choose between running the generational BBQ business and chasing his dream to become a master sommelier. On a date, Elijah tells Tanya about how he became interested in wine, and expresses his aspiration of becoming a master sommelier. Tanya encourages him to pursue his dream. Elijah takes an entrance exam for the Master Sommelier program and passes it, earning admittance to a sommelier school.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The class is invited to an exchange program in Paris, but Elijah realizes he won't be able to afford it. Classmate Harvard agrees to split with him and Elijah raises the rest of the money he needs through fundraising. While in Paris, Elijah learns about Sylvia's cancer diagnosis, but she tells him to stay in France and wires him money despite Louis's disapproval. Sylvia dies, and Elijah returns home for the funeral. He begins missing classes for his Sommelier program in order to help Louis at the family restaurant. Eventually, Elijah is forced to withdraw from the program. Louis gives in and, with Tanya, helps Elijah study for the master sommelier exam. Elijah takes his exam and later finds out that he didn't pass. He returns to his two jobs. Sometime thereafter, Elijah reenrolls in the sommelier program.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Empowerment==&lt;br /&gt;
The director of this dramatical movies, Prentice Penny, deserves an applause for not following the stereotypical black Hollywood narrative. There is no gang violence, no underdog sports star, no struggle, no petty drama, no racism and no superhero story. It’s a feel-good movie about a shy, gumpy, motivated black twenty-something year old man from Memphis chasing his dream. Uncorked” gives hope to the youth in the black community that we can really do whatever we want. The protagonist, Elijah, has a passion for wine and used his own culture to elevate it. &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://www.ellenadornews.com/2020/05/10/uncorked-in-the-black-community/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The movie it self is far from boring. Its charm is in how regular it feels. There are no grand pronouncements of the plight of black folks or screwball high jinks—it’s just a slice of life with relatable characters. “It’s not about them being magical and exceptional,” Penny says. “This is a Tuesday in their lives, and that’s where we’re picking them up.” &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://www.fastcompany.com/90479875/netflixs-uncorked-is-refreshing-in-its-desire-to-tell-a-regular-black-family-story&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Uncorked (2020) is an American drama movie, written and directed by Prentice Penny. It stars Mamoudou Athie, Courtney B. Vance, Niecy Nash, Matt McGorry, Sasha Compère, Gil Ozeri, Kelly Jenrette, Bernard David Jones, Melisia Lomax and Meera Rohit Kumbhani.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncorked_(2020_film)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
A young black man in his twenties, Elijah, works at a wine business and at his family's local barbecue restaurant, where his father Louis and mother Sylvia also work. Louis expects Elijah to take over the business someday but he isn't interested. Elijah has to choose between running the generational BBQ business and chasing his dream to become a master sommelier. On a date, Elijah tells Tanya about how he became interested in wine, and expresses his aspiration of becoming a master sommelier. Tanya encourages him to pursue his dream. Elijah takes an entrance exam for the Master Sommelier program and passes it, earning admittance to a sommelier school.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The class is invited to an exchange program in Paris, but Elijah realizes he won't be able to afford it. Classmate Harvard agrees to split with him and Elijah raises the rest of the money he needs through fundraising. While in Paris, Elijah learns about Sylvia's cancer diagnosis, but she tells him to stay in France and wires him money despite Louis's disapproval. Sylvia dies, and Elijah returns home for the funeral. He begins missing classes for his Sommelier program in order to help Louis at the family restaurant. Eventually, Elijah is forced to withdraw from the program. Louis gives in and, with Tanya, helps Elijah study for the master sommelier exam. Elijah takes his exam and later finds out that he didn't pass. He returns to his two jobs. Sometime thereafter, Elijah reenrolls in the sommelier program.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Empowerment==&lt;br /&gt;
The director of this dramatical movies, Prentice Penny, deserves an applause for not following the stereotypical black Hollywood narrative. There is no gang violence, no underdog sports star, no struggle, no petty drama, no racism and no superhero story. It’s a feel-good movie about a shy, gumpy, motivated black twenty-something year old man from Memphis chasing his dream. Uncorked” gives hope to the youth in the black community that we can really do whatever we want. The protagonist, Elijah, has a passion for wine and used his own culture to elevate it. &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://www.ellenadornews.com/2020/05/10/uncorked-in-the-black-community/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The movie it self is far from boring. Its charm is in how regular it feels. There are no grand pronouncements of the plight of black folks or screwball high jinks—it’s just a slice of life with relatable characters. “It’s not about them being magical and exceptional,” Penny says. “This is a Tuesday in their lives, and that’s where we’re picking them up.” &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://www.fastcompany.com/90479875/netflixs-uncorked-is-refreshing-in-its-desire-to-tell-a-regular-black-family-story&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;For Colored Girls (2010) American drama movies adapted from Ntozake Shange's 1975 original choreopoem for colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf. Written, directed and produced by [[wikipedia:Tyler_Perry|Tyler Perry]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_Colored_Girls&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:ForColoredGirls cover.jpg|thumb|ForColoredGirls cover]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
The movie is based on Ntozake Shange's play &amp;quot;For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf.&amp;quot; Unlike the original play which featured only 7 women known by colors performing the collection of 20 poems, the movie has given each of the 20 characters names. Each of the poems deal with intense issues that particularly impact women in a thought-provoking commentary on what it means to be a female of color in the world.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1405500/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Controversy==&lt;br /&gt;
At event of Egyptian Theatre organized by new Seattle collective to prescreening the movies, cofounder Christa Bell spoke from the stage to emphasize the occasion: a moment to rethink images of black women. &amp;quot;Real colored girls,&amp;quot; she said, &amp;quot;are offended and bored.&amp;quot; The postshow discussion was a blend of confession and critique that sent currents of conversation out into the night. &amp;quot;That happened to me, to my sister; this movie was a mirror.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;He skipped all the high points of being a black woman; I have never seen so many images of black women shaking and crying.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I had a problem with this film as a brother. We get maybe six movies a year. I'd rather be watching ''The Cosby Show''.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.thestranger.com/seattle/for-colored-girls-real-colored-girls-are-offended-and-bored/Content?oid=5395563&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is also a scene where a woman have a fight to broke with her boyfriend and explaining her deep feeling from what truly called the Colored girls.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Juanita''': Ever since I realized, there was someone called a colored girl or an evil woman, a bitch or a nag I been trying not to be that and leave bitterness in somebody else's cup. Come to somebody to love me without deep and nasty smelling scars from lye or being left screaming in a street of lunatics whispering, 'Slut, bitch, bitch. Nigga, get out of here with all of that.' I didn't have any of that for you. I brought you what joy I found. And I found joy. And then there's that woman who hurt you. And who you left three or four times. And then you went back after you put my heart in the bottom of your shoe. You just walked back to where you hurt and I didn't have nothing. So I went to where somebody had something for me, but none of them were you. I got a real dead loving here for you now, 'cause I don't know anymore how to avoid my own face wet with my tears because I had convinced myself that colored girls have no right to sorrow. I lived for you. I know I did it for myself, but I couldn't stand it. I couldn't stand being sorry and colored at the same time. It's so redundant in the modern world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Frank''': I guess this is goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Juanita''': Like you've never seen it before.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Step Sisters (film).png|alt=Step Sisters (film)|thumb|Step Sisters (film)]]&lt;br /&gt;
Step Sisters (2018 ) a dance comedy movie directed by [[wikipedia:Charles_Stone_III|Charles Stone III]]. It stars Megalyn Echikunwoke as a black sorority girl who agrees to teach the art of Greek stepping to a house of party-obsessed white sorority sisters.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Step_Sisters&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Jamilah has her whole life figured out. She's the president of her sorority, captain of their champion step dance crew, is student liaison to the college dean, and her next move is on to Harvard Law School. She's got it all, right? But when the hard-partying white girls from Sigma Beta Beta embarrass the school, Jamilah is ordered to come to the rescue. Her mission is to not only teach the rhythmically-challenged girls how to step dance, but to win the Steptacular, the most competitive of dance competitions. With the SBBs reputations and charter on the line, and Jamilah's dream of attending Harvard in jeopardy, these outcast screw-ups and their unlikely teacher stumble through one hilarious misstep after another. Cultures clash, romance blossoms, and sisterhood prevails as everyone steps out of their comfort zones.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5267472/plotsummary?ref_=tt_stry_pl https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5267472]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Controversy==&lt;br /&gt;
The movie tells the story of a black girl who agree teaching a white sorority about how to dance like black girls. The movie served alongside a large helping of performative 'wokeness', uncomfortable, non-funny racial humor and unfocused social justice 'lessons'. ( For instance, a large part of the plot is about the impact of cultural appropriation of black traditions by white people, but then also features a dance number with a bunch of black women dressed as generic Asian women in silk robes and fans without blinking an eye.)&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;The movie was accused of being regressive, in that it made its black protagonist “the help” and supposedly encouraging cultural appropriation. One Twitter user, Nia Malika,  to Netflix: “We can’t have anything at all. None of us black sororities and fraternities are going to watch this foolishness. It’s African … Can we just have it please?”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/jan/19/step-sisters-review-hits-and-misses-in-netflixs-cultural-appropriation-comedy#:~:text=The%20movie%20was%20accused%20of,going%20to%20watch%20this%20foolishness&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The plot focused on a black sorority sister, Jamilah, who in order to get into law school has to teach black Greek-stepping to a white sorority sisters group whose charter is about to be revoked. &amp;quot;I think people will come away being pleasantly surprised that the take-away message is actually the opposite of white people culturally appropriating the black culture,&amp;quot; said the actor who plays Jamilah itself. &amp;quot;The messages are a lot different, and a lot more profound.&amp;quot; Yet a description of the film making its way around the internet has disturbed many blacks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The way it was presented to me, it just put me off,&amp;quot; said Candice Frederick, a film blogger. &amp;quot;A lot of my readers and followers kind of felt similarly, and a lot less diplomatic. ... There are a lot of (black) people not excited about this movie.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.cbsnews.com/news/step-sisters-movie-facing-backlash-over-racial-humor/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Controversy==&lt;br /&gt;
The film tells the story of a black girl teaching a white sorority how to dance like black girls. It manages to mash together every bad trope from the 'Dance competition' movies from the early 2000's(think Bring It On) with cringingly terrible acting, a ridiculous plot, excellent dancing, and unintentionally hilarious quotability(&amp;quot;YOU NEED TO MAKE THEIR ASS HAIR STAND UP!!!&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is all served alongside a large helping of performative 'wokeness', uncomfortable, non-funny racial humor and unfocused social justice 'lessons'. ( For instance, a large part of the plot is about the impact of cultural appropriation of black traditions by white people, but then also features a dance number with a bunch of black women dressed as generic Asian women in silk robes and fans without blinking an eye.)&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;The movie was accused of being regressive, in that it made its black protagonist “the help” and supposedly encouraging cultural appropriation. One Twitter user, Nia Malika,  to Netflix: “We can’t have anything at all. None of us black sororities and fraternities are going to watch this foolishness. It’s African … Can we just have it please?”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/jan/19/step-sisters-review-hits-and-misses-in-netflixs-cultural-appropriation-comedy#:~:text=The%20movie%20was%20accused%20of,going%20to%20watch%20this%20foolishness&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''tep Sisters''' does not fall short of its racial tropes and the one gay character in the film uses his sexual escapades with his partner as a comedic device—not a stereotype at all. I also cringed a bit when Jamilah found a joke towards white people to be “racist” and her white boyfriend had to educate her on what racism actually is. I’m pretty certain the moment was supposed to be a punchline, but it just missed the mark and didn’t deliver. This happens often throughout the movie.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://blackgirlnerds.com/bgn-review-step-sisters-pending-title/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Why just fly when you can soar with soul? After a humiliating experience on an airplane, Nashawn Wade sues the airline and is awarded a huge settlement. Determined to make good with the money, Nashawn creates the full service airline of his dreams, complete with sexy stewardesses, funky music, a hot onboard dance club, and a bathroom attendant. Departing from all-new Terminal X in Los Angeles, Soul Plane gives &amp;quot;fly&amp;quot; a whole new meaning taking its passengers on a maiden voyage full of comedy.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367085/?ref_=tt_urv&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Controversy==&lt;br /&gt;
The premise of the movie was simple, born from numerous comedians’ jokes about “What if there were a ‘black’ airline?” Somehow, some way, that got spun into a feature-length “comedy” pandering to the lowest common denominator. It was 90 minutes of shameful humor that elucidates why African Americans often don’t get the respect they deserve, on and off the screen. If it matters whether African American actors, writers and producers are appropriately acknowledged by Hollywood, then never should we strive to create or support something so decidedly self-hateful and derogatory, much less defend it after the fact.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2004-jun-07-et-counterpunch7-story.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spike Lee in a recent speech said that &amp;quot;Soul Plane&amp;quot; is &amp;quot;coonery and buffoonery,&amp;quot; among the most offensive ever in terms of showing blacks in a negative light. Other actors, writers and directors have called &amp;quot;Soul Plane&amp;quot; a modern-day minstrel show and a throwback to films in the 1940s and 1950s, when blacks were mostly shown as lazy clowns. The South Los Angeles-based National Alliance for Positive Action has aimed its protest at MGM, the studio behind the film. &amp;quot;Soul Plane&amp;quot; is the latest in a slate of urban-based films being developed by MGM after the crossover success of the studio's 2001 release &amp;quot;Barbershop.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2004-06-01-0406010014-story.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The movie is about &amp;quot;the first urban&amp;quot; (black) airline, whose motto is &amp;quot;We fly. We party. We land.&amp;quot; They left out &amp;quot;We potty.&amp;quot;. Put together by guys with Scary Movie among their credits, it starts out as a promising trip back to Airplane land. It's a spoof of the modern air travel experience -- rude or incompetent ticket agents, baggage handlers and flight attendants, food that doesn't appeal to every appetite. And it is packed with comic cliches about the cultural differences between Black America and the Rest of America.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/os-xpm-2004-05-28-0405270422-story.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The whole flight from L.A. to New York is filled with gay, fart, rap-video, white-people-are-lame and white-women-fall-for-black-men jokes, and a presumably &amp;quot;Airplane&amp;quot; inspired crash landing by non-pilots after the pilot dies.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.redandblack.com/variety/weak-silly-soul-plane-fails-to-deliver-on-controversial-premise/article_08267c72-e738-5162-85ae-ac52c7e74610.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The “N-word” spread freely along the movie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Actress Anne-Marie Johnson, the national chairwoman of the equal employment opportunity branch of the Screen Actors Guild, says that the maker and actors have no respect for the “scars ‘Soul Plane’ leaves on the culture.” Johnson, who starred in the 1987 comedy “Hollywood Shuffle,” which makes fun of black stereotypes in Hollywood, added: “Nothing has changed since ‘Hollywood Shuffle.’ In fact, it’s gotten worse.”&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
