Will Black Entertainment ever move out of the DARK AGES???

[Devilinurear]

Some old generic shyt.

I rather see black people do more science fiction

We had alot of that but I see yall dont care. Yall just having a nostalgia trip instead of looking towards the future

It's all historical pieces, or racial commentary. There is nothing else. No one seems interested in making simple genre films with a Black cast. 90s had a variety of Black films like Boyz N the Hood, Waiting to Exhale, Tales from the Hood, Meteor Man, Blankman, Inkwell.etc. Were all of them good? no, but at least people were taking chances and branching out.

I was hoping the success of Black Panther would usher in an era of Black sci-fi and Afro-futurism but l guess not.

Them gets a push while something like “American Skin” gets overlooked

We have to start writing scripts and dealing with black directors and producers if we want to be represented the way we see fit.

Its a double edged sword tho because some of our best movies from the 90s put us in a bad light overall

 

[LurkMoar]

I’m not watching any more slave movies or movies where black trauma horror



can’t we make some African fantasy or some shyt

All I know is that we have a lot of creativity. I have seen so much awesome art and read some cool mythologies that were created by black artists. Im disappointed that we have not yet bank on mythological content in the film industry.

Question, what would you all categorize as the golden era for black Ent, and where did it take a turn?

I'm not gonna rank a decade but every decade from the harlem renaissance (1920s) up until the golden age of rap had a lot of creative energy.

Some of the movies in OP are black Trauma porn. Black people suffering. I'm tried of all of it. Wake me when Parable of the Sower or Static gets a movie.

 

[My Girl is Bow Legged]

I mean shyt we were flooded with gang/hood trauma films in the 90s and people complained back then, so much that the wayans made a whole film making fun of them

in 20 years people will look back at this era fondly too

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

Once bourgeois New Black's took over it was a wrap

 

[King Frost]

redo all the top10 movies

 

[Chrishaune]

Folks are worried about "WAP" they are not worried about creating.

 

[Rekkapryde]

why can't we have an all or majority black Sci-Fi movie or series?

 

[BiggWebb79]

We get stuck in nostalgia a bit to much, but for the last 10 years or so Black entertainment movie & show wise have flourished

Maybe we peaked?. The human mind has a limit breh.
