Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip (1982)
WHAT AN AMAZING TALENT!!
What's sad, but true, the injustices he was joking about remain relevant ALL OF THESE YEARS LATER. Makes one wonder what his comedic genius he'd have applied to today's world. His humor is unflinchingly HONEST. This was SO ARTISTIC that nobody got offended. Yet TODAY, not much has changed. Yes, we did elect a black man to the Oval 5. HOWEVER, THIS TRUMPISM is largely due to this. Was born in 1968 & NEVER SEEN SUCH OUT IN THE OPEN LIKE I've seen in the last 4 years. I believe it's an important lesson for those of us who believed that we'd evolved. I truly believed that the election of Obama was truly a watershed moment for us. Just for a period of time it seems now. THIS BACKLASH IS VERY DISHEARTENING. I'm not a black woman. But, I am compassionate & truly feel pain when a fellow citizen, who hasn't done ANYTHING TO DESERVE TO DIE. Pryor speaks candidly about these injustices for the first time. This was TRULY REVOLUTIONARY for its time. A MASTERPIECE!!!
Vanilla Sky (2001)
I LOVED THIS MOVIE & SIMPLY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY this movie bombed??? I
It's unconventional, thought provoking and has ZERO cliches. I am BEGINNING to believe the public gets upset when movies don't have to conclusions we hope for. THESE ARE THE MOVIES THAT MOST CLOSELY MIRROR OUR LIVES!!!! They are ART. This movie, to me, is truly a work of Art. It ABSOLUTELT MIST BE SEEN MORE THAN ONCE - the mark of a great film. THIS MOVIE ABSOLUTELY BLEW ME AWAY!!
