Cooley High Reviews
Touching
The film "Cooley High" is touching, heart warming, tragic, and poignant in ways we can only imagine any film to be, and that I will not even attempt to fully discuss. So often this film is compared to American Graffiti another incredible coming of age film, but by doing this we miss the point. Cooley High is the antithesis but the same as American Graffiti. Whereas you had white america who had American Graffiti illustrate their watershed adolescent moments, African-Americans (particularly those in impoverished neighborhoods or the projects like Cabrini Green which is where Preach lived) had Cooley high.
The story is one of loyalty, companionship, pragmatism, survival, death and ultimately re-birth. I would encourage anyone and everyone to watch Cooley High with their kids, not to denigrate or make fun of, but to see into these kids lives for one instance.
Love it
Cooley High is a wonderful movie. It is funny and sad at the same time. I am happy that it is on DVD, because I have a VHS copy and I can forward to my favorite scenes. You must own this.
