Five On The Black Hand Side Reviews
Real good family film
During the 70s, when Blaxpoitation films were of the norm, you had such films as this, "Amazing Grace" and of course, "Cooley High". In this film, you had a family about to marry off their only daughter in a Afrocentric wedding ceremony that the father disapproves of; Matter of fact, the father is a barber who goes to work in suits(with the appropriate smock put on at work). Consults an organizer(as well as his wife's); and is as tight reined with his family as he is with himself; He's got one son out of his house and living on the roof and being afrocentric; the other son cannot get with no one but white women; He dictates to his wife(Clarice Taylor, later known as Cosby's mom on the Cosby show) as to what to wear as well as what to do, and she is SICK of it!! so she hatches a plan along with her friends(Virginia Capers and Janet DuBois later of "Good Times") to demand a list of things that she want from her husband; Oh, and then is when the good times roll!! Good family film; a bit dated but real good;
really tight film
films like this tackled so many issues&covered a wide array of subject matter.very much on point Soul Film.a film like this in the early 70's still isn't brought to light in the modern era of film making&find that ironic.very well written&a really good film.
