| 1) This short film, shot in a music video style follows a young black manwhois pursued by a group of white young men clearly bent on violence. Thenarration is a defiant hip hop/rap declaration of a young black man’sdefiant attitude. This is clearly a protest of Negrophobia in modern dayGermany and puts a convincing case.
Overall this is a very effective short but the non-German speaker shouldbewarned, the rapid-fire staccato dialogue moves very quickly and itsdifficult to keep up with the subtitled narrative while viewing theimages. 2) I originally had this movie playing in the background, but the versecaughtme, even though it was in German it was lyrical, and had such a presencethat it was absolutely captivating. The film via german rap explores the changing concept of racism inmodernGermany. How it changes but in some ways remains ultimately the same. Hownow that black culture is being imulated by white culture they still inmanyrespects view them as a lesser citizen. It delivers a well thought outmessage that is very heartfelt. The cinematography is as well brilliantandstunning. Well worth the 13 minutes of film it was shot upon, if onlymorefilm was like this. |
