Movies with BM/WW Couples

Caught this movie last night on Netflix. Pretty good drama. The very beautiful (and one of my teenage crushes from the 80s) Jennifer Connelly and Anthony Mackie Star in Shelter.




A homeless Nigerian immigrant (Anthony Mackie) and a junkie (Jennifer Connelly) band together for survival on the streets of New York.

Directed and Written by Paul Bettany (her husband.)

 

I'm currently watching the 1992 Spike Lee-directed movie "Malcom X" starring Denzel Washington for the 1st time.

I didn't know much about Malcolm X other than he's often compared to MLK until I watched the movie "Selma" a year & a half ago.

It's interesting to know that both Malcolm X & MLK messed with White Women in real life. I've always heard folks joked about it, but I didn't know it was for real until I watched these movies. Malcolm's chick Sophia (Played by Kate Vernon) is Bad AF.

 

Malcolm Little, before that he would become Malcolm X, saw his father get lynched by white men when he was a boy. As he got older his name on the streets was Malcolm Red because of the reddish color of his hair. He dated white women out of revenge against the white man. When he was in prison, his name was Malcolm Satan until he met Elijah Muhammad and soaked in all Elijah Muhammad's teachings like a sponge.

Martin Luther King and Malcolm X were two sides of the same coin. The media was fascinated by Malcolm X because like MLK, Jr., he spoke eloquently and articulately . MLK Jr.,would say, "We shall overcome.'
Malcolm X would say, "Give me a .45 and we shall overcome."

MLK, Jr. would ask his people what Malcolm X said about him. Malcolm X would ask if MLK, Jr said anything about him.

white daughter of slaveowner wants to fool around with those slave negroes...if you know what I mean...

blacksploitation at it's best...

 

I remember that flick Drum it is a sequel or sorts from Mandingo.

 

I've mentioned that in previous threads over the years. MLK was involved with a German woman at Crozier University and Malcolm was involved with a Armenian woman. She does not look like the WW character in his book or movie.

 

Drum was the direct sequel to Mandingo. Athlete Ken Norton was in the film along with John Colicos(Count Baltar from Battlestar Galactica).

 

I'm 27 minutes into the movie "Everybody Wants Some!!" that came out earlier this year. It's a spitural successor/sequel to the 1993 cult-classic film "Dazed and Confused" & it's from the same Director/Writer/co-producer Richard Linklater.

The movie is about college baseball players at a fictional Texas College in 1980 who all live in the same house off-campus.

1 of the characters is a brotha named Dale who plays 2nd Base played by J. Quinton Johnson. He hooks up with a chick at a party named Michelle played by Anna Vanston.

 

Got to see that flick when it comes to cable.

Was watching the documentary movie "Hidden Colors 4" this past weekend & the first 10 minutes got me thinking are there any ancient/medieval times movies about The Moors?

Folks put me onto this 1964 movie "The Long Ships" Co-Starring Sidney Poitier who plays Moorish king Aly Mansuh who is a Dragon Moor (aggressive, war like leader).

Anyways his queen/wife Aminah is played by italian actress Rosanna Schiaffino.

Here's the trailer:


Here's a clip from the movie:

 

Do they kiss? What type of kiss? :wink:

 

I just discovered it, don't know yet.

 

How's the rest of the movie? I assume that's the only IR in it.

 

U.K. Trailer finally dropped:

 

Thanks for sharing

 

Wondrful first look. The director is Amma Asante, who is a black woman and
the first two major films she directed are both Interracial Films


Hope this doesn't get overlooked like Belle, Amma has taken some bold revolutionary steps to begin her movie director career. This movie probably was passed on and wouldn't have got made if we didn't have somebody like her.

 

Like the trailer, looking forward to the film

 

I seriously praise God for people who went through mess like that so I don't have to.

 

Wow I had never heard of this story before. Trailer looks powerful
