Average Temperature Fever Acute Hiv Symptom

Black screen


Black is beautiful! Exit
references to political all current and former despots side of Zaire, Uganda or Central Africa (list abgrégée).
Exit the great men of status, type Leopold Sedar Senghor, former president of Senegal, but especially a poet of negritude
Exit disappearances violent years of global lead, like those of Biko or Lumumba.

Focus on Blaxploitation! Get zoomed in on Shaft, Pam Grier and Co.

In the early 70s, almost 10 years after recognition of the civil rights of African Americans who have sacrificed it for a Martin Luther King, the black American community Bomb chest and insists "I'm black and I'm Proud!" (Black Panther slogan).


Like a Cassius Clay, aka Muhammad Ali , self-proclaimed "The Greatest".


The arts will also be used for this, the first vector of choice: music (James Brown, Ike and Tina Turner ...), and Cinema, as an outlet for social tensions.
Movies that featured, even in those years, that blacks in roles big mama (yes mamzelle Scarlett "), white-gloved butlers and other references very Banania, equivalent our image of "native" or "gook" of service in the colonial cinema. "Guess who just dinner tonight ", namely Sydney Poitier fiance in surprise, is an exception.



As one is never better served than by oneself, the community rebelled again and, of tit for tat, replied " Shaft," "Coffy ( Soundtrack Roy Ayers, your slippers) or "Foxy Brown " (Foxy Lady): films made by and for the black community. The characters are
say high and strong as ebony, with funky afros, character to spare (Pam Grier, wonderful black panther, uppercuts and distributed by mass), an ever-present side ole ole (95 C rigor, animal skin rugs or red satin sheets available at ...) and the funky-groovy approach, in the street life.

Objectivity requires, the filmography is rather blaxploitation (and is!) Focusing Series B. It does not look

Shaft (personal reference on the subject) or to the history of the private detective, Don Juan, which ejects small strikes out the window and walks on sidewalks of Harlem or the breathless suspense of the plot. Let alone on the pretext that the film won him an Oscar (a great mystery of the 20th century).
No, you look for Shaft "atmosphere" Sidewalks of lowland New York, to experience the awakening of the black interior, the colorful aesthetics, for the cool attitude, and of course, for the Soundtrack Isaac Hayes.
Not to mention the fact that one expects every 2 seconds to see tumbling down Huggy good tips!



Like the male (Tarantino, top) does not rank high Pam Grier an icon for his sense acute the game but for its atomic profile.
Those that were called black chicks (above the chicken and Tamara Dobson dixit the character of Cleopatra Jones ) played the vengeful urban amazons, and incidentally the fantasies street, pointing the barrel of their guns on the bad boys from the ghetto and elsewhere. This
cite only the key films of the Blaxploitation movement. All outputs to classify Z series, and titles were not hilarious citizenship. But, just to make you smile, know that the movement was a " Blacula" (the black vampire).


It was not until Spike Lee (Malcolm X , Do the Right Thing, Inside Man ...) so that the community is his favorite director, and detaches from his exorcism exaggerated.
Beyond his 1st committed films, whistleblowers racism-not-be-said-not a white American ( Jungle Fever), Lee takes the liberty of "Inside Man " or "Summer of Sat ", which does not focusent on the black condition.
Does this mean that Lee has sold his soul to the devil or that the era of the raised fist has more reason to be?

In all cases, the Blaxploitation was a reflection of black America who is looking for, and claims all errors due to this teenager. The right to nanar!
