 | I find it hard to believe those pitiful less that 5-star reviews of this move. Obviously it just went over their heads. This movie is absolutely awsome!! From the opening credits with the backdrop music by the legenday soul/rock/funk band WAR to the very end when Cicily Tyson urges the youths to not screw up what had been accomplished by Daddy Johnny (James Earl Jones) this movie screams to the heart. Either those reviewers have no clue as to what it is like to struggle and live in a ghetto or they could just simply care less. Ignorant. Speaking on things they have no clue about. Anyone who wants a slice of a dream; A beautiful, poetic dream, needs to see this movie. Is it a hollywood masterpiece, filled with explosions, nudity, special effects, and glamor people? No. It is a gut-bucket, poetry, and music-laced ride that will certainly warm the African-American soul and any others who can comprhend where we are coming from. |

| I was excited to find this movie, but was disappointed with the movie after viewing it. The stars in it were wonderful; I suppose that the scripting could have been better...what a waste of wonderful talents. |

| Not often will you find such Great actors as Cicely Tyson, Louis Gossett, James Earl Jones, Glynn Turman ant Teddy Wilson in the same movie....A compelling story, set at the end of the Civil Rights Era, and the resulting transition of the leftover radicals..With the poetry of Langston Hughes, and a rocking soundtrack By War...This Is one of the best movies you can see... |
