Forbidden Fruits (2006)
Luckily this movie probably won't make the theaters
Let me start off by saying that I was at the premiere of this movie and I suppose its possible for the film to go back into post-production. Hence, a few things could be fixed, though I seriously doubt it will be.
This movie is bad, very bad. It has a lot of problems, like acting, directing, cinematography, and even the picture quality. However, it does have a certain 'documentary-like' quality that can be educational.
The movie looks at the interaction of the many different races and religions that make up the Detroit-metro area. Mainly focusing on secret romantic African American/Arab and African American/Chaldean relationships, with a small Jewish story-line thrown in as well.
I won't waste my time or yours overly analyzing this movie because I don't feel like its worth it. But I will say that if you have any interest in Detroit and how it became an 'gathering place' for both African Americans and Middle Easterners then this might be of some interest to you. If not, please don't waste your time with this movie.
I, myself, only saw it because I have a friend who had a part in the movie. I enjoyed the focus on Detroit and it's history because I was born there and still live in the metro area. However, at the risk of losing all credibility with anyone who will be reading this, I firmly believe I could have done a better job in almost any phase of making this movie.
