Alice

When I saw the movie poster, then went to see the flick, the first act of the movie did not match what the poster was telling me this was going to be. Then at some point the transaction between what this movie is and what the movie poster told me it is happens and I'm blown away.

If you've seen the village the first half of the movie is the village, but that second half, that's a Blaxploitation film! One of the best I've ever seen.

It starts out with something that seems farfetched (or a truth I don't wish to believe), then it gives a very real metaphor about revolution.

I want to point out that the movie itself states its inspired by something that actually happen, which only adds fuel to the fire.

I thought KeKe Plamer was enjoyable as Alice, but Rapper/Actor Common looked like he was made for his role as Frank.

I thought the format perfectly Mimicked a movie made in 1973 without pretending it was a movie made in 1973.

Really enjoyed myself here!

Alice was fine. It was a perfectly enjoyable film. It does not deserve its current 4.4 rating. The acting and cinematography was top notch, the dialogue was simplistic but the story was was entertaining and meaningful. Only mistake these folks made was putting a black face on the cover and-- 'boom!'-- minus three stars. Ignore these jive talkin' reviewers, man; Alice is all-right.

We've come along way in more ways than one. I would've love to see something a bit more original with this talented cast but not oh well. We saw this in Antebellum with Janelle Monae and by the way did a phenomenal job. Anyway if you looking for something to pass the time it's a decent movie . I'm just a retired guy that watches way too many movies .

The 70s were characterized perfectly, the acting was great, it was an interesting storyline, and it felt like a movie made in the 70s. It all came together perfectly.

Alice begins telling the story of how some slave owners were still stuck in their slavery mindset and they used fear of change to justify keeping their slaves from being free. Their anger of losing humans as property like cattle to mentally handicap other humans and believe they are entitled to determining another man's freedom and worth because of a brainwashed systemic racism society. They didn't want slaves to be educated beyond the Bible and only by their interpretation of that belief. We spent too much time in that setting for me. I'm sure it's to make a imprint affect on the audience. When Alice becomes free it's not when she escapes physically but mentally. Overall the acting and storyline created an entertaining watch. Was it a 'must watch'? No. What happened in this film is factual and documented more than 100 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, there were black people in the Deep South who had no idea they were free. These people were forced to work, violently tortured, and raped. Our history is their history and they rather criminalize 'woke' in meaning questioning them, being aware, being observant and not being ok with the force fed whitewashed accounts that only serves their purpose.
