I have learned something today! I am actually walking away with a smile on my face because of the knowledge that was just given to me. "We have been taught to love our enemies." Yes, we have. Teachings of the church.
I would love to hear Mr.Charles commentary on films like Juice, BoyzNTheHood, New Jack City and Menace2Society. I think it's no coincidence that these films were made all at the same time
Very good point. I just made this point to a friend recently. Films like these and rap music perpetuate stereotypes of black men in particular for other cultures to view us as threats. Exactly why cops are trigger happy around us and our communities.
Charles Woods Brother man your love for history and film mixed with your keen understanding and social critic of black exploitation in the form of liberal arts, is timeless. Movies you mention at a whim and connect the dots is fascination. I'm just a simple video editor and have a love for film. But your a cacophony of liberated thoughts. Thank you.
+Supremmo Hello. Thanks for your time to view and comment. It is interesting that you mention the Haitian Revolution led by Toussaint. This is what I mean about films that touch on black defiance and revolt and suddenly disappear as if they never existed. Have you ever heard of the film, Lydia Bailey? This film was about Toussaint. William Marshall portrayed a strong black man named King Dick. Look up this film. Peace and Blessings!!!
+Charles Woods You're welcome, my brother. Not sure if you know this but Danny Glover has been trying to raise funds for a movie about The Haitian Revolution for years but has run into all kinds of obstacles. The Studio would only fund a movie like that if there's a white hero or co-hero in the movie. Glover refused to compromise so he's still trying to get the project off the ground. I will look up the film Lydia Bailey! Thank you!
This dude understands black cinema and how black folks are given only so much before they're reigned back in - either to defeat or cooperation w/their oppressors.
Not always. There are plenty of counter narratives. We dont support those. Have you seen Haile Gerima's Sankofa, any Ousmane Sembene, the great Senegalese wwriter, producer, director; seen any Charles Burnett, any Julie Dash, any Kathleen Collins. Right? Support our independent Black film makers. Do that and the narratives will change dramatically AND you will still be entertained.
Its the same old refrain, When they hit us below the belt, we take the high road and keep smiling. Although this is familiar trope, it needs to be told to the younger generation so they wont forget what those that came before them had to endure. Even when they allow us to tell the story, in the highly symbolic but socially powerful Media (movies) they demand to have the last word. To listen to them tell it, they are the most benevolent yet they possess the steel of the greatest warrior. In every instance when a story is told they claim the highest moral ground, the staunchest courage, when offended, they give themselves the right to declare their righteous indignation. We must keep telling the story, and exposing their box of dirty tricks. Keep speaking, don't let them silence you.
im at the point where i dont even want to see blacks in anything if they aren't going to be represented right snd correct. I'm tired, been tired, of how they do blacks and i know a concept i didnt see as a child in the 80's and that's the teen coming of age movies from a black perspective. i kmow we had the cosby s but we didnt have a breakfast club or pretty in pink or even the goonies...no black to the future or weird science so you got this decade of movies that the black youth watched growing up and wanting ideals and situations to mimic them. im all over the place with this comment but i hope you feel where im coming from professor Charles
Hebrewblud :-O Wow! (I'm not Professor Charles, I'm just some random guy commenting on youtube, but) This was one of the most honest, strong, passionate, and intelligent responses, that I have ever seen on a social media video. Your comment struck a note in me (I grew up in the 80's, as a kid, I am a black, I love those movies you named, "and up until this very moment," I never thought about them, the way you just laid out; with the politics, sociology, and psychology, behind them). Thank you, because you just opened my eyes to something that, I never thought about before, but need to look a little deeper. Respect!
Thank you so much brother Woods for this excellent in-depth analysis. You just confirmed something I'll be feeling for so many years with everything you see on tv and in the movies. The way I see it is, just as Indians or Chinese produce and consume their own movies, we should do the same. And is worth mentioning that is sad that there are very few black actors that don't sell out. Denzel is probably the only one that don't sell out.
I just had to go back and look at other sit downs with The professor Charles Woods!🥰😍 I wish I knew him. I can listen to him teach all day!!! “🗣Charles Woods!” 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥💯🥂
Dude ReelBlack we need more and MORE MORE MORE MORE videos of Mr. Charles Woods, we need more and longer videos, I love to hear the black talk about the film industry. This is very important information.
+Bloodsport1 Thank you for your time to view and comment. ReelBlack is planning more of these mini-lessons, and I am so elated that people are finding them edutaining and wanting more. Are there any subjects you particularly want to be discussed? I am interested in knowing what people think about black representation in cinema. Each one teach one. All the best to you. Peace and Blessings!!!
@@charleswoods8556 what about the movie Zulu. I'm a white person and thought that the movie Zulu portrayed the Zulus in favorable light. Yet I felt the same in the "Song of the South" And apparently I have the traditional white patronization prospective to dee black folk
I am still waiting for Hollywood to make a movie about Bass Reeves the real Lone Ranger, and The scientist Percy Lovan Julian and Saint Elmo Brady. But I don't think they will.
Its true. If you look at the roles that black women have won Oscars for, they are all stereotype two maids - Hattie and Octavia , slave girl (Lupita) , downtrodden poor single black mother (Halle) aggressive ghetto single mother ( Monique). Also Tajah P Henson recently won a Golden Globe Best Actress in TV show for playing 'Hoochie' Cookie in Empire. These roles are so beneath these talented actresses, however when the Oscars/Golden Globe decide to award, it's for these stereotypical roles. If you think by awarding black actresses an Oscar/Golden Globe for these roles, that this is progression for black people in Hollywood, that you are wrong. These roles and images just continue to demean black women. People need to find Robert Townsends excellent and real movie Hollywood Shuffles, which provides a comical but true take on the stereotypical roles offered to black people in Hollywood. The sad thing is, this movie was made 27 years, ago, but little has moved on for black actresses more so in Hollywood.
I absolutely LOVED Hollywood Shuffle as a teenager...I literally memorized the lines frame by frame...and yes...that film is still relevant. Nothing has changed.
@@tryphineshumba8158 But more their fault for pushing them on us all and brainwashing the entire planet to think that these images are not only okay but true. Advertising, peer pressure, society at large and everything forced us to watch their media and once one starts one gets addicted really there wasn't much choice involved. you have to understand the type of power that propaganda especially through film has... It's a type of hypnosis alpha brain patterns and all, 10-30 seconds into a video and ones frontal lobe, which deals with decision making (truth from error right from wrong) and critical thinking, is bypassed and the images are being directly interpreted by the limbic system which contains the amygdala the emotional center on the brain. Now that we know better we have to do better now there is a choice involved before it was more like blaming a child for being born on a plantation and yes this still is a plantation don't believe me try to go for a month buying groceries and paying for gas without supporting some white man how about your job who owns the land where the building that you work in is erected. And lots not even talk about taxes... still a plantation just more slick and the key to everything is still making the poor whites think that they are better than blacks so they don't join forces and rebel against the masters. Like what happened in Bacon's Rebellion Fact is the whites are more mentally enslaved than blacks because since the system is working for them they will find all kinds of excuses to defend it. Since the system is oppressing us we can see it for what it really is. A plantation, the matrix, a lie, a battle for our mind, the true enemy is Satan and the war is against Jesus Christ. But Christ has already won the War hallelujah Amen. But He wants to save us all Choose life Choose Jesus and He will save us all.
Wow, clips of Mandingo specifically the scene in the burning house instantly made me think of Django! Hopefully that director was simply influenced by that scene and didnt rip it off....
+Usualspec13 Thank you for that sentiment. I love you. We must learn to love ourselves and then we can love others. I am so appreciative of your time to view and comment on our youtube project. We are attempting to raise people's consciousness about the true role of motion pictures relative to the representation of blackness and people of color. Peace and Blessings!!!
+Charles Woods you're doing a beautiful job baba. so we'll explained and clear. there's just a great resonance and thank you for taking the time to respond. means a lot on this cold London evening. one love and respect always.
+Charles Woods I would love for you to do a video on your thoughts about Django. I felt like that has been the closest depiction to the Nat Turner story that you mentioned in this RUclips video.
+tiger nole Thank you for watching. I grew up on westerns, and I am planning to do a segment on black cowboys. I loved Django. It was a blaxploitation film with a dynamic African American fantasy figure. We are planning to do the western segment early next year, and we will discuss Django. Peace and Blessings!!!
+Charles Woods On Django: In the western segment please discuss the way black women were portrayed as willing slave prostitutes at Big Daddy's (Don Johnson) brothel plantation and as slave concubines (characters Sheba and Coco) to Calvin Candie. Quentin Tarantino has been fetishizing black women since he was a little boy watching blaxploitation films.
So sad, especially since the Bible says to love your neighbor as yourself. Now tell me, how can you love your neighbor if you don’t first love yourself? Greatest commandment. That means, greater than loving your enemy, though enemies can be neighbors. God always warns people to keep away from these people, so no need to enculturate or pander. To love is to correct. There’s more to the story.
This video is so relevant right now being that they fired Orlando Jones (Anansi) off of American Gods bc his character “sends the wrong message to black people.” The guy who fired him is a culture vulture who tries to talk black and wears Huey P Newton Black Panther shirts, he also fired Gabrielle Union from America’s Got Talent for speaking out about passive aggressive racism. I was fucking heated when I found out they did that. I hope he sues they ass and win. We need to support him. If you don’t know how Anansi is, you should watch the scene where he was on the slave ship preaching to the slaves telling them to kill their slavemassas and sink the ship. They don’t want black people believing in black Gods or believing in themself. “Angry gets shit done” -Anansi Here’s that scene>>> ruclips.net/video/nCxFnVe6RiM/видео.html I also suggest that you read the book “Anansi Boys” it’s based off that character. The American Gods book is good as well but definitely read about Anansi Boys. There is definitely a agenda. Giving us a black Spider-Man but he got a Hispanic mama and he in love with a white girl no strong black woman to be found.....giving us a black little mermaid but her Prince is not black....notice the dark skinned black woman is rarely a loving mother always a single abusive mom, a slave, a crackhead, a whore, or jealous of light women, always portrayed as undesirable. The media and Hollywood definitely uses film to control the masses.
The motion picture, wow programing indeed. They even used to call television I think public programing back in the day I think, I am to young to remember.
and I just subscribed to your channel; thank you for this awesomeness - we need to learn propaganda; and how it's used against our people. So that we can rise up again.
MikeD. Thank you for your series on Dick Gregory. Re: Spike Lee Jts. AMC is notorious for playing switcheroo on tickets because they really don't appreciate his message(s). That old status quo crap. For a prime example: Saw "Do the Right Thing" when it opened at Sam Eric Queen theater in K of P. Thank Goodness I checked our tickets. They were for "The Little Mermaid." Deliberately. Gave is a raft of crap about that and refused to exchange the tickets. We were still at the ticket window. Did the same thing to "Malcolm X" People please be sure to check your tickets and that you have the correct movie. Support Spike Lee. He's a brilliant filmaker. I am Anon. Marie Romanov in philly.
+Benz Holmes Went to see Malcolm X when it opened. Same thing. I demanded the correct tickets. The COS never gives up... I got the right tickets. When I gave them to the plant at the entrance to the theaters, guy had other ticket stubs in his palm. The switcheru bs. I've seen it on dish network. Outstanding. The msg is separate yourself from the evil intentioned beings. Marie Jackson Romanov performing #OpFreeTheWorld via #OpFreePhilly. Special admiration for Mike D. And still loving MJR.
No movie about the Harlem Hell Fighters in World War I. the 761st Tank battalion, (all black) in World War II, no movie about the Montfort Point Marines (all black) WWII…. I could go on and on.
I would argue that not all black movies are that way, but then I'd be wrong. I haven't seen a black movie that made me proud to be what I am yet and I have been watching films for a looong time. It is clear to me that going the Master P route is the only way to get real movies. The next film I write is going straight to DVD.
I hate Hollywood!!!!! I do not own a television and I choose my movies carefully. Very seldom do I spend my money on Hollywood movie theater tickets. They are a joke!
I love what u do man I been watching for a while now I think the miss education of sonny Carson should have been added who killed little boy is and should be a wake up call for the plans to exploit black men.
Minnie was the cool Mandela. she never gave up the fight. DeClerk gave the nuclear weapons back to the US after the Cuban army kicked the SA army's butt in Namibia and before handing the government to black hands. I loved it when Nelson Mandela chose to visit and thank Castro as his first trip abroad upon release. HW Bush was irate that he went there before coming to the UN and White House. It was beautiful
One of the best discussions on race. I don't I won't feed into crappy lifestyle but I do believe in revenge but not in a human way uhuh UNIVERSALLY 😉💝💕💞
Hey Charles you got to talk about Star Wars Episode 7 Force Awaken where Finn the black guy played a storm trooper that was original a Janitor. He was another black guy in the film chasing the white woman, and never head a real relationship. Would love to see your lecture on the Star Wars saga on black people.

Shit would explode if that movie came out and was done right.
Its not called a riot it was a massacre
Wont be one either unless we make it and it needs more than one narrative, many voices. There is a play though. Outstanding. Look for it.

When I gave them to the plant at the entrance to the theaters, guy had other ticket stubs in his palm. The switcheru bs. I've seen it on dish network. Outstanding. The msg is separate yourself from the evil intentioned beings. Marie Jackson Romanov performing #OpFreeTheWorld via #OpFreePhilly. Special admiration for Mike D. And still loving MJR.
strong perspective
No movie about the Harlem Hell Fighters in World War I. the 761st Tank battalion, (all black) in World War II, no movie about the Montfort Point Marines (all black) WWII…. I could go on and on.
How did Tarantino get Django to fly?

Complexities in Filming???
Quentin probably had dirt on somebody from working in Hollywood so long LMAO
I would argue that not all black movies are that way, but then I'd be wrong. I haven't seen a black movie that made me proud to be what I am yet and I have been watching films for a looong time. It is clear to me that going the Master P route is the only way to get real movies. The next film I write is going straight to DVD.
I like watching Charles Woods speak TRUTH. This is why Hidden Colors was needed
These videos are addictive!!!
Yes Tel-a-Vision...

I hate Hollywood!!!!! I do not own a television and I choose my movies carefully. Very seldom do I spend my money on Hollywood movie theater tickets. They are a joke!
+visionkingdom :)
She was hitting him so HARD...😳
hello there
That was a great interview. Thank you for that. I wonder will he go see the Nate Turner movie finally being made?
when you talk about black revenge dont forget about quentin tarantino, he portrays this rather well.
Thank You 🙏
Drums is one my favorite movies
Birth of a Nation with Nate Parker is a film about NAT TURNER
A movie about Nat Turner, was given the greenlight.....called "Birth of a Nation"....why now?
I love what u do man I been watching for a while now I think the miss education of sonny Carson should have been added who killed little boy is and should be a wake up call for the plans to exploit black men.
Thank you
All of these movies should be remade.
Minnie was the cool Mandela. she never gave up the fight. DeClerk gave the nuclear weapons back to the US after the Cuban army kicked the SA army's butt in Namibia and before handing the government to black hands. I loved it when Nelson Mandela chose to visit and thank Castro as his first trip abroad upon release. HW Bush was irate that he went there before coming to the UN and White House. It was beautiful
and Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela.. that was a miss.
One of the best discussions on race. I don't I won't feed into crappy lifestyle but I do believe in revenge but not in a human way uhuh UNIVERSALLY 😉💝💕💞
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, this is so informing.
Awesome perspective. The "MAN" is always thinking, plotting to suppress the real message
yes brother Woods. Tell it. I can see never blind.
“WE LIVE IN THEIR DICTIONARY”
Strong report. Thanks..
Amazing.
100%The Truth!😂😂😂😘😘
Inshallah and Peace Professor Charles Woods... Drop The Science!!!!
I would love to get in touch with Charles Woods somehow, to get his take on an idea, or why it hasn't happened yet.
Great video! Professor Charles is amazing. Subbed
Hey Charles you got to talk about Star Wars Episode 7 Force Awaken where Finn the black guy played a storm trooper that was original a Janitor. He was another black guy in the film chasing the white woman, and never head a real relationship. Would love to see your lecture on the Star Wars saga on black people.
GOLD
Yessss👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
New subbie! Hoping to see more of Mr. Woods!!
Brother I love hearing you speak and thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I would love to hear your opinion on the Oscar Boycott this year and how did you like 12 years a slave by Steve McQueen. your brother D.
Amazing
Professor you are brilliant as usual!! I love what you do keep it up. You break it down like a champ!!
+Pinky from the Bronx i agree
+Pinky from the Bronx Thank you for your wonderful support. Peace and Blessings!!!
Drop that science, re-education,....This goes both ways
Amen
On IMDB.com it says Bill Duke is making a movie about Nat Turner and nate Parker is also making one on nat Turner
Thanks!
powerfully true
Who saw the cops roll past, in the background while Charles was talking?
The reason why certain ""White-Washed"" movies I CAN'T view on TV or in the Movies. One must know THEIR HISTORY!
that last 2 mins was deep...
Why I stop going to movie theatres to watch movies.
Black and white to-ge-ther -- sing it with me black people everywhere! 🗣️🎵🎵🎵🤨
They gave us, Jesus!!!
