I agree with FJohn that you've come a long way to understanding the character of Shaft.<BR/><BR/>What do you think about the term "blaxploitation" and the implication that films made specifically for black people are indeed exploitation? If these films are exploitative, then what about other films that target certain audiences? Do you think the term is fair? Even though you didn't write about it specifically, I'm interested in your thoughts since you have made such great strides to understand Shaft.<BR/><BR/>I think you've got this blogging thing down. Your entries are interesting, clear, and academic. Good work!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07331961951316180787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888409148557901249.post-17313002505569748162009-03-30T16:37:00.000-07:002009-03-30T16:37:00.000-07:00We like to see cool, heroic type people struggle b...We like to see cool, heroic type people struggle because it is something we all relate. Life isn't easy for anyone, and we like the main figures in our entertainment to show that as well. A character wouldn't be much fun to watch if his life was easy and simple- we crave action, conflict, and drama in our movies and books or else very few people would give the plot the time of day.HayleyAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02505373067006185212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888409148557901249.post-19551781942033068192009-03-26T21:53:00.000-07:002009-03-26T21:53:00.000-07:00Nice post.
