MOVIES: “AMERICAN GANGSTER”
Friday, June 8, 2007
Maybe some of you remember when I posted the candids from the set of the film back in September? Well filming wrapped up for “American Gangster” around November and the trailer was released this week. Denzel Washington stars as Frank Lucas, the real-life heroin kingpin from Manhattan who smuggled the drug into the country in the coffins of American soldiers returning from the Vietnam War.
The film also includes an allstar cast of Russell Crowe, Cuba Gooding Jr, T.I, and Common. There has already been a bit of Oscar buzz surrounding this film, I look forward to seeing it. Seems like a great and intense crime film…
The film is scheduled to hit theaters November 2nd, 2007

Not feelin the idea of glorifying Gangsters and Drug dealers. Not feelin the idea of him having a white looking wife (even if she is mixed, I’ve never seen him cast with a woman that looks anything like his wife in real life). I agree that Denzel is a great actor, but it’s clear to me, that he plays these roles because nothing else is out there sellin at the box office, that presents a different image of black people other than the negative. It scares me to think that America is more comfortable seeing black people killing each other, being violent, and hating the image of black women with darker skin. White supremecist, capitalistic, sexist, are just some of the many terms to define it. This is why I seriously have started to take a look at the media on all levels and what they are perpetuating as the norm. The more I see it, the more I realize just how f**ked up this world is for black people (especially the western world) and how many of us have been brainwashed into believing images like this are harmless. They are subconciously debilitating people! WAKE THE F**K UP!
