Although many movies have been made in America over the years, very few of them have been directed or produced by Black actors. This may be due to Hollywood being too risk-averse or lacking imagination. Although there are some exceptions, such as the Black Panther film and the soon to be released Don't Worry Darling movie, creativity is limited.
Elvis Mitchell's "Is That Black Enough for You?" documentary will premiere on Netflix on November 11th. It includes interviews with several prominent Black filmmakers. This film challenges the notion that Black artists are too shy or lazy to show their talents. While most of the discussion is focused on the technical, creative and artistic merits of many popular films, Mitchell's collection of interviews with Black filmmakers will spark debate.
Despite the fact that many people may think of the film industry as a progressive place to be, it has a long history of discrimination. In the beginning, it was difficult for Black filmmakers to make movies. Therefore, there was a need to have Black people help. Black filmmakers had to book movies on the Black circuit, for example. There was also the matter of finding the money. If one was lucky, he or she could land a lead role in a blockbuster film. But most Blacks weren't afforded the same opportunities.
Black films aren’t always the best, given the history of the movie industry. The good news is that there have been notable accomplishments over the past decade. Black Panther, Don't Worry Darling, Black Dreams and the recent Black Dreams are some of the most recognizable. The movies of non-Black filmmakers are not as notable, but they are less appreciated.
The one-drop rule was another interesting fact that should be mentioned. It was used to determine who was white in the United States. This rule, although often misunderstood by some, was a huge deal. It increased the Negro community and brought together the African American community. This rule was expanded in the latter part of the 20th Century. The current one-drop policy is used in multiple countries. Interestingly, the rule was originally meant to protect whites from being blackened. So, what was the best use of this rule?
While the one-drop method was not the perfect way to classify Africans, it was the most effective and accurate. The best rule of thumb to use to determine a person’s ethnicity is to have access to their birth record. On the flip side, if you're born in the United States, you can claim to be black, even if you are not.
