Birth/And Within Our Gates to Godfather

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2009)

Short and painful, Once I thought this was the most perfect movie ever, in ways I still do, however after reading Movies And Methods II, a critical approach would be to mull over all the images until up to the Klan Race and then switch over to the even more spectacular entangled web of magic presented by Oscar Micheaux in his Within Our Gates, which in many ways out guns the original. Although I once thought Godfather was in a way racist, I am learning the value of changing metaphors, which means it isn't at all, in it's own way. So take this as an abstract and seek further reviews of this film in Entertainment Today, although even a movie like Big Momma's House, Fahrenheit 451, and Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses (which I feel that I have in some way also slammed for no reason except hubris, now deserves a place, in my new non-hierarchical approach to cinema enthusiasm.) --Peace out, Aaron Sheley
