A good black film did and does present us as we are, good and bad, warts and all...
I. e., I delight via the lingo, etc., which reveals such folk being no less deserving of our respect, years after the pic came out...
I'd love to see the original BODY AND SOUL, (even if it's silent pic), as much as other early takes on black culture, featuring the likes of Paul Robeson, etc.
Do keep in mind the black filmmakers of decades past, and those are their takes, no Hollywood studio execs meddling etc.
So, what we can achieve, if we can also conceive...
FYI
