The HArder They Fall
MEdia That Moves We
Black Daddies
some of my thoughts
My Media that moves we commentary
the film was influenced by all the genre's of western films in the usa, from the john wayne era to the spaghetti western to the black films like posse or buck and the preacher
That is the brilliance of the film, it in the end is an entertainment , not a documentary or historical film.
Nike, you precancelled , canceled westerns:)
YEah, Multiple review shows of this film have I Think missed one key point. if you want to make a film a certain way, own a film studio. At some point you have to reject the level of complaint to how the story is told. Own a studio and you can do what you want ?
and let's be honest, revenge is a constant theme of westerns of all sorts, denzel's magnificent seven differed from kurosawa's seven samurai or brenner/mcqueen magnificent seven, where the gunfighters are trying to redeem themselves in a quiet little place.
yes, they trained with their doubles so they could have a more john wickian fight choreography
I give my entertainment ranking a 10, I was entertained , love the womens fight:) in terms of black westerns , it is a high percentage, 7 or 8. I think posse or buck and the preacher are better as films. In terms of westerns in general , from the black and white silent black westerns and et cetera to now, 7 . In terms of historical quality in western films... a five.
My Black Daddies commentary
Was jill scott offered the role? did jill scott reject it?
blacker than buck and the preacher... I don't know, it is clearly up there
the usa has a long history of film superstar collabs in westerns, this films joins that very long list
white zombia was a financial play, legosi reportedly was paid a lot for that film, and it was clearly designed to play on the fandom of "monster movies" the cultural aspects of white zombie is clearly negative but the reason it was made was purely financial
do you guys think disney has written the entire phase 4 already, or at least all the parts?
Do you think a cartoon of a fiscally impoverished family from a dying black town, can be made by a high profile company like disney?
What about danny glover get production money to direct his toussaint louverture movie if he does this?
if lethal weapon 5 makes money does another Beverly hills cop happen?
What about the detective jumps from a spacex ship to virgin galactic ship to solve a cryptocurrency theft
This was for entertainment, in the spirit of westerns movies in the usa. never real history, always an entertainment

I read the article. I have a problem when a black person, says all they saw is white owned media's white representations. Black writers wrote about black cowboys for years. My question is, why did his black parents, in england, which has a fine library system and is a rich country, not put some books in his face. I will battle any black artists who gets on this , never knew black being raised bullshit story. I was raised by two black people in a black community . Why is it I knew all about black cowboys? Black warriors in medieval europe? black native americans? ITs bullshit. I want Black people like the director of "the harder they fall" to admit their black parents FAILED THEM!!! in terms of exposing black art.
I repeat Yes all caps, FAILED THEM!!! in terms of exposing black art. I didn't say black parents failed to feed them or house them or cloth them. I repeat, FAILED THEM!!! in terms of exposing black art.
Black people, we have to own up that many, maybe even most black parents in the last century simply failed to expose black children to the available black art In there home.
