That final conversation in the film between Jeffrey wright and Issa Rae is pure gold
YES!!!! Omg!!!
Absolutely! Adds another dimension to a brilliant film.
I liked the one in the start between bitter colleagues😆
Certainly agree, specially with that great finishing quote.
"Potential is what people see when they think what's in front of them isn't good enough."
Am I the only 1 who seen the hypocrisy in the Isa Rae character? Or am I reading into the wrong?
"The dumber i behave, the richer i become"😂🤣
"Hollywood runs on book reports."
That's cross cultural
Jeffrey Wright is an excellent actor. The film was phenomenal.
That subtle eyebrow raise in response to “Yo Sharonda” is probably what sealed Wright’s Oscar nomination.
Ellison is the last name of the author Ralph Ellison, who wrote about black Americans
The movie is also an adaptation of the novel "Erasure" by Percival Everett, who named the character of Ellison as an ode to Ralph. If you love Ellison, I'd recommend checking out Erasure! It's honestly one of the best books I ever read.
More people need to see this movie. Sooo good and has a very important message about today's society.
Is not only today's society. It was always like this, its just more notorious now because social media gives a plataform for everyone
During the apartheid or slavery was like that too?
It is a poignant message...and is cross cultural. I wonder if Coates and Kendi will see it?
This one was a lot of fun, reminded me a lot of Sorry To Bother You.
Jeffrey Wright does some awesome work! 😍💖💯😃😃😃
Jeffrey Wright is a phenomenal actor!
Truly fenomenal indeed
This movie is basically a satirical commentary on Precious and Do The Right Thing 😂😂
Not do the right thing. Do the Right Thing showed so much range in characters. Stop it
I saw the movie a few days ago and got the book a few days after. Halfway thru Erasure already
On my list.
The movie was Awesome...go Jeffrey
You were so Amazing ...loved it
Erika Issa & Traci ...great job ❤
Awesome film !
Extraordinary film.
If you watch it multiple times, you’ll “see” the same movie multiple ways and come out richer for it…
May it win all the categories of the nominations in the Oscars
It’s an absolute genius book “Erasure” , recommend you read it and also watch the movie
Brilliant movie and acting.
*”gonna watch this on Friday!” 🎥 🍿 - MELL DUNEY 616*
Just watched it great movie
A perfect film
Great movie
I really enjoyed this. Didn't love the ending, but everything leading to that was complex and beautifully told.
what didn't you like? what would you have preferred?
@@leapeace1201 I felt that turning it into a memory/script robbed the film of some of its weight - it introduced an unnecessary break in the gravitas of the film. I would have liked to see them play it straight through the end.
@@Hekilikaua You mean, it was kinda like a wink wink, just kidding?
@@Hekilikauaexactly. Good writing gives a clear ending. All that nonsense about 3 versions was just silly. Exactly how 'i may destroy you' ended. Silly
Just watched this movie
This movie was enjoyable. I loved it
My favorite actor!
Hilarious and moving movie. What really struck me was how each role seemed tailor made for each actor. It’s the definite sign of a great writer/director at work.
I'm a white guy, but I am also autistic, so I felt emphasize with a character on a different level, being sort of an outsider. And the feeling of having to pretend you are something your not, or building a different sense of identity in order to fit in. When I was in college I didn't hide the fact I was autistic, but I felt in order to fit with my friends at the time, I started drinking and smoking pot more. When I did that I felt like I could shed "the autistic me". But now being out of college I see that as a mistake.And I still struggle with my identity as an autistic man. So when I saw the film, I did not see it as a "black" movie which in itself is a problematic term. It is a movie about a man who wants to be defined on his own terms. Which is a feeling I am certainly chasing after.
so good. what I aspire to write is the way that the arc of the main character has all the familiar tropes of a story, but none of that is important except as a vehicle for the message, which lingers in the imagination.
Great movie, go check it out if you haven't seen it.
Genius 🎉🎉🎉❤
Great film.
Jeffrey Wright was an outstanding actor in the 2000 movie Shaft with Samuel Jackson.
I loved him in Angels In America.
Great Movie
I liked the film but a few things didn't seem right to me. I found it hard to believe the brother could be a plastic surgeon with his habit - perhaps better if he was a marketing exec or similar. I didn't see the point of the interaction with the neighbour on the beach as it didn't advance the story in any way. I also found the ending(s) odd - the apology ending seemed perfect, the death scene would of been good with less "action". The Blazing Saddles ending seemed wrong to me. Having all 3 endings was just a mess (to me). A very good film nevertheless.
Agree on some of your points though I did like that they were showing that they were editing as they went along and it did show that he couldn’t necessarily win as far as executing his vision without pandering to popular appeal, also the very very last scene where he got into his brothers car and nodded to a guy sitting just outside the car confused me
@@youyaoso the ending involving the random guy . I believe that was supposed to be like here we go another slave on the plantation movie and he was probably a actor getting ready for the set. Which just goes back to the idea of Hollywood always putting out these slave movies. That was my take on it .
I think the relationship with the neighbor was really just a example of the main character being who he was and showing his flaws. His way of shutting others out and I think it was a great add in because some people don’t forgive you for shutting them out and making them feel alone.
@youyao when he saw the actor dressed as a slave, I think he acknowledged him because he realized, yeah here's another overdone, stereotyped role this guy is playing but he's just doing a paying job, it's like yeah I had to write something distasteful in order to "make it" so I see you dude, you gotta do what you gotta do
@@spicyd1 Yep, I'm certain that's what he was trying to say. It's just that it had already been said a million times up that point and I thought it unnecessary saying it again.
Great movie. Jeffrey and the rest of the cast were amazing.
Just watched this film last night. FABULOUS. Haven't seen such an intelligent and engaging film in ages.
Excellent Movie
Great on so many levels. Multiple stories in one movie
I loved it 💯 💯 🔥🔥 amazing movie
Reminds me kind of like Spike Lee's "Bamboozled"
Great movie I would recommend it to anyone
I LOVE ME SOME ISSA RAE❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I finally watched it last night. I was not disappointed. I’ll watch it again tonight so good acting superb. Everybody every black every white person should see this film wake up to what we have done to our and their culture.
I loved the love story between Lorraine and Maynard, as well as the focus on his mother’s health decline. If it had just focused on race stereotypes/relations in America, it may have become a very ‘heavy’ film to digest but the relationships that unfold in the background balanced things out beautifully.
Awesome movie.
I cried at the end and I'm a white Gen X dude because my mom was dying of cancer and could totally relate to Ellison as what TV Tropes calls The Only Sane Man. He is me!
Main message is the truth shall set you free!!
See ot when you can afford to! 🕊️
I loved this film. Go see it!
didn't like the way it got all post modern at the end. cop out. had some good bits...when he is writing the scene and the actors come in the room and start saying his line. also, who was the guy at the end in the red car?
This was a good film. 7/10 for me. Although I loved the mum's helper, Lorraine getting married, it didn't add the story. 😂
Best film of the year. So much crap these days. This was a welcome relief
This would have been a good tv show
Watch it. was fantasticly funny and brilliant
This feels has Key and Pelle vibes. It's corny as hell, but white people love it.
Dumb is popular. But still dumb. And stupid has consequences.
This,applys asian culture stereotype
What does she mean when she says Ray-Ray is going to be a real Father this time? Is that implying they had their first kid out of wedlock or he cheated with someone else to have his first child?😂😂
Don’t read too much into such a brazen caricature. Golden’s writing plays on the lowest assumptions about Black life and communication.
Great Movie.. but sadly, awful Ending.
isn't there already a movie like this with Bradley cooper
Curious! What’s the movie?
Boring movie. Thelonious is just boring
Family guy did this like 10 years ago
Percival Everett did it 23 years ago.
The Woke are still asleep
Great movie
