Or, in other words, is narrow-minded. Why didn't they show black scholars? Take antidote to this sh it movie from 'Examined life' for example, it's showing black philosopher right away.

Uh...because philosophy is completely irrelevant to this film? This movie is about dancing and the thoughts behind that are covered by the dancers. Adding in a highly educated black person just because they could would make them very narrow minded, such as yourself.

How am I narrow minded?

[–] kls73 13 years ago

Asking why there aren't scholars in a movie about dancing?

[–] ssseuth 13 years ago

How is this narrow minded?

[–] kls73 13 years ago

Why would there be? And your point was they should put BLACK intellectuals in it. How is that relevant?

There are a lot smart and hard working people in the ghetto.

[–] kls73 13 years ago

Oh dear lord. But how are their thoughts and opinions relevant to the people in the film?

[–] ssseuth 13 years ago

It would be relevant if this movie wasn't narrow minded.

Comeback? Does this retard think I'm talking to it? :) It's a command, dog.

Black scholars don't dance. They read books. Retard

I have to agree with kls73. I am a former modern dancer who studied ballet. I wanted to see this movie :1) because it's about a dance form I don't know much about (crumping/clowning); and 2) because La Chapelle directed ballet star Sergei Polunin in the much seen video "Take Me To Church". But this movie is about the origins of a newish dance form, albeit in a poor neighborhood. Where do black pliosophers fit into a movie about dance?
