awkward eye Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Why are they called blaxploitation movies? Is any movie made specifically for black people considered a blaxploitation movie? Say a movie like Dreamgirls, Stella Got Here Groove Back, Meteor Man, House Party, The Color Purple, ect...Or do they have to be from the 70's? Would a movie like Smokey and the Bandit be considered whiteploitation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Huxtable. Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I think it refers to the movies that many Civil Rights groups of the 70's saw as being "negative"; glorifying a negative portrayal of African-Amercans -- like the pimp and gangster movies, and movies celebrating drug pushing and all of that. Later, ALL "black" movies from the 1970's just came to be lumped in and be called "blaxploitation". There are blaxploitation movies being released in this decade (and in the 90's), but I don't think we refer it to that in the classical sense (of the movies of the 70's).

awkward eye Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 At least I didn't pretend like I do understand, ya know? I did ask why...Hell, I enjoyed Menace To Society cause I thought it was a good movie. Never once was I like "you know they're exploiting black folks in this movie". But I can see where some would think it was glorifying violence and gang life even though I know that that's not what the Hughes Brothers were going for.

MOOGLE? Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 i know what you mean though.. alot of these movies had main characters battling corruption from within and out.. as well as stopping drug trafficking .. mostly heroin wich was rampant in many hoods during the time. some films had the thug turned hero thing going.. i still dont understand black people though....
