Let It Shine (2012 TV Movie)
10/10
I get it
10 May 2015
I understand any non-African American (particularly Caucasian) person who doesn't understand this movie. Its OK, I get it. I get it if you don't understand why there were no Caucasian leading characters in this movie like you're used to seeing from Disney. I get it if you don't understand the meaning of this movie, so let me break it down for you. This movie was a representation of Black Culture today, the Black Community and what goes on in numerous African American households. I'm not saying only African Americans will fully understand this movie, but again this movie isn't for everyone. Its not for the intellectually weak Disney Movie watchers who request a simple "Everybody Wins" ploy. It's not for anyone who typically watches movies with plots centered around Caucasian culture and issues in the Caucasian community. Its basically not for the closed-minded. Its OK if you get uncomfortable with some of the ideas introduced in tis movie, some of the "language" and even some of the music. Overall it was a great attempt by Disney to realize and show the struggles in the African American community, to show to the world that not only movies with all-white main characters deserve to be shown on their channel. Thank You Disney.
