There have been many American movies over the years. But very few were directed by Black actors. This could be because Hollywood is risk-averse, or simply because Hollywood lacks imagination. While there are a few notable exceptions to this rule, like the upcoming Black Panther and the soon to be released Don't Worry Darling, there's not much room for creativity.
The new documentary "Is that Black enough for you?" by Elvis Mitchell will debut on Netflix November 11. It features interviews with prominent Black filmmakers. The film challenges the common assumption that Black filmmakers are too timid or lazy for their talents to be displayed. Mitchell's extensive collection of interviews from Black filmmakers will be a great source of discussion, even though most of the conversation is focused on the artistic, technical and creative merits of several popular films.
Although many people think the film industry is progressive, there has been discrimination in the past. In the early days, it was difficult to make movies for the Black community; there was a corresponding need for Black people to help out. In order to book a Black movie, it was necessary that the Black circuit be booked. It was also necessary to find the money. One could be lucky enough to land a leading role in a blockbuster movie. But most Blacks weren't afforded the same opportunities.
It's not surprising that Black films are not always the best. There have been many notable achievements over the past decades, which is the good news. Some of the most notable include Black Panther, Don't Worry Darling, and the recent Black Dreams, to name a few. Non-Black filmmakers' movies are still noteworthy. However, their contributions are not as widely appreciated.
Another tidbit that deserves a mention is the one-drop rule, which was used to determine who was black in the U.S. This rule was often misunderstood but it was still significant. It helped boost the Negro populations and brought together African Americans. During the early part of the twentieth century, this rule was expanded, and today the one-drop rule is used in several countries. It is interesting to note that the original intent of this rule was to protect whites from being darkened. What was the best way to make use of this rule, you ask?
Although the one drop rule was not the best solution, it was efficient and accurate in classifying blacks. The best rule of thumb is that the one-drop rule cannot be used to determine a person’s race without access to their birth certificates. Contrary to popular belief, if you were born within the United States you can claim you are black, even though you may not be.
