black machismo make moral choice on black machismo
17 September 2005
five deep breaths makes several comments/questions..one being..what is manhood..black or otherwise..the other is how far does one go to prove that they have it. a pretty decent question for the post john wayne yet still john waynesque hip-hop generation. I believe this short film shows much promise. Seith man has such control over the pacing and performance he's reminiscent of an antoine Fuque more than a Spike lee, you can feel the sense of action that would burst from the screen if he had a studio budget. nonetheless he effectively builds suspense and the lead actor, jamie hector, gives a performance that today's audiences as well as audiences from the silent film era, it's all about the eyes.
