The Review: A Thin Line Between Love And Hate

 

A Thin Line Between Love And Hate 7/10

This movie was crazy as hell. L. picked this one out for me to watch for the first time. This is about this dude named Darnell that is a nightclub manager that gives out VIP cards like free candy to women he wants to have sex with. Like, he got mothers, laundry workers, whoever. Even though he sleeping with all these women he still has a thing for a woman he knew when he was little. I think most guys do by the way. Her name is Mia and she is in the Air Force and home to visit. One day outside the club he spots lady who refuses to deal with him and his friend Tee's advances. He slips his card into her limo as she drives away.

Not Sad Black Movies

Amazon, Hulu, and Netflix have compiled a list of movies that are meant to show the plight of Black people around the world. If you browse through you will see chains, fire, and a lot of sad looking Black folk. It's not cool. I know these companies mean well with what they are doing but a lot of the films they suggest are trash films to begin with or just straight up depressing as fuck. As I watch people I know and online check out these movies I just think “We aren't just struggle!” As hard as it is to be Black we actually do manage to find humor in the world. Hell, think of the ten best comedians ever and at least seven of them will be Black. That is if you have a sense of humor. Or maybe you haven't been exposed to much Black stuff. That is another thing I am realizing as the Black Lives Matter protest and movement continue. A lot of people were never exposed to things that didn't look like them.
