Sweet Sweetback's Baadassss Song

Thought_Dreams [Edit] [Delete] 01:01, 4 February '07

Anyone seen this film? I just watched and i'm totally lost for words. Its just so fucking bizarre it seems to exist outside the usual good/bad judgements you can make about films.

Apparently its the first blaxploitation film ever, evidenced by hilarious bits such as 'STARRING.... The BLACK Community' & 'This film is for all those brothers & sisters tired of getting hit on by the man'

I think it was made on a budget of $7 and huge bag of weed. The plot is totally incomprehensible, the editing is just plain weird and mostly there's no dialouge just a constant funk soundtrack: I guess they couldn't afford to record too much sound. It mainly features the main character having sex and running around while intermittently beating up the cops that are chasing him.

I think i'm going to have to watch it again...
