Snipes & A Soldier's Story

Snipes is a film about hip hop music and what happens when dreams are shattered before they begin. The film stars Nelly, and Dean Winters. A Soldier’s Story by Charles Fuller based upon his Pulitzer Prize winning play of the same name. The film stars, Howard E. Rollins, Adolph Caesar, Denzel Washington, Robert Townsend, David Allen Grier and Patti Labelle as Big Mary. As a stage Play it is intense and the movie brings that same intensity with such a great cast. The film is directed by Norman Jewison. If you haven’t seen this film or even heard of the play, I highly recommend you see this film. Spike Lee’s School Daze is the only other film I know to really deal with racism amongst blacks. That happens to be my favorite Spike Lee film. Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind.
