I can't take it, when you called the freezing hungry black kid a look out. just can't watch it with you guys. You esp the guy on the right give the impression of rich white guys that have no idea about the black community or maybe just the black community in the 70's. It is hard to share what it was like, but being in my 60's I know exactly what it was like. Most BLACK PEOPLE in the south could not even vote until the Voting Rights Act only 6 years before this movie. Black men had to play it safe in the movies and Shaft was the first black Action Hero, so his representation was extremely important, esp to black boys. The 70's brought black pride , more independence, and representation in the cinema, entertainment like Soul Train, Black empowerment, the Black Panthers, it is just too much to educate two white guys. But esp Michael talks so much that how in the heck can you really understand the film and what it is trying to say. Sure you guys are reactors, but damn come up for air sometimes. I don't know maybe it got better after assuming a cold hungry black kid was a criminal and a look out, I don't know I just could not watch it any longer. But I'll stay , the girls are pretty good. A bit of advice, if you ar watching landmark films dealing with black people, try not to assume so much. With regard to Shaft, in my opinion this is the only Shaft movie all the others were Hollywood, including the recent ones. The 1971 movie Shaft is profoundly important to the Black community as a foundational film that introduced a confident, unapologetic Black action hero, played by Richard Roundtree, who controlled his own narrative in a white-dominated industry. Directed by Gordon Parks, it empowered audiences by replacing subservient imagery with a powerful, stylish protagonist who operated outside the system. Key Aspects of Its Importance: • Cultural Empowerment: Shaft presented a hero who did not succumb to his environment, offering a positive, "cool" role model that reflected the era's Black Power movement. • Shifting Representation: It challenged the traditional, limited roles for Black actors, setting the stage for a new era of Black characters in cinema. • Cultural Milestone: The film was a massive, unexpected hit, proving the economic power of Black audiences to Hollywood. • Iconic Soundtrack: Isaac Hayes' Oscar-winning, funk-influenced score became a cultural phenomenon, further cementing the film’s legacy. • Independence: John Shaft, as a private detective, worked on his own terms, often navigating tensions between Harlem and the Mafia. SCIRP Open Access +7 Shaft remains a landmark in cinema for its contribution to Black representation in popular culture. SCIRP Open Access

Let people speak their mind. For the people having a problem. Don’t read what they have to say! You telling others to chill. They asked people to comment. Just because you don’t like it or understand what someone is saying. Scroll by and don’t read it. Like you said it’s just a movie so why don’t you chill and not worry what anyone says.

Shutter Crazy, did I hit a nerve. I was speaking in general terms but if you want to own it be my guess. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
