Black Privilege

Whomever shot and edited this movie should be fired and run out of the business. Unless the budget was about $8, this is embarrassingly bad.

I get what is being attempted here but the whole thing just comes off fake.

I watched all the way through. Loved the facts and statistics. However it doesn't make up for the poorly thought through plot. I mean you can google or YouTube basic screenwriting and filmmaking. I think the point of the ending was to suggest a revenge or get back. Unfortunately it wasn't setup very well and the audience was not invested in any of the remaining characters. I noticed none of the case where in frame with any of the bigger names. That was edited well enough to go unnoticed; those cuts could have been more deliberate and audio of the main cast overplayed with the bigger names. I thought the Reverends dialogue was very good. There were several attempts to setup big emotional payoffs that just never cashed in. Of all of the cast you daughter, Jay and Tamala has the better performances. Jay and his daughter's story should have had some closure. The last seen with Kay and Tamala almost suggested them getting together but we see her husband when she's introduced and reminded of his existence in the seen with the Iraqi-American. This had so much potential but for all the things this film had going for it . . . The idea of a hero's journey is he/she/it is on a journey. This went nowhere.

Most of the acting is terrible even tho I get the message. But here's the deal: I'm from Chicago and went to high school in Englewood. It is one of the ROUGHEST parts of The Chi. So from jump, the whole storyline was false. I wish the writers could have been more authentic. I'm sure the budget precluded them from including top notch acting talent but wow. Hope volume 2 is better.

I found it entertaining, its one of those movies where your like omg how long is this movie it feels like its been on for hours and 15 min has passed, only for it to end and your like wait is that it i was expecting more.

This film feels like it was supposed to be either longer or come in multiple parts. Im sad to say, i dont think the story will continue because most people wont even care and just write this off as a bad movie that has horrible storytelling. If Netflix doesn't get support for it we'll most likely never see what happens cause the ending is missing, as well as a lot of the story-line.

While i've seen longer run times on and much better plots on kids cartoons i dont think it was a complete waste of my life that i will never get back, i kind enjoyed it.
