| Quote: | This gritty, low budget film offers a unique and honest perspective on the underworld of black street life in the early 1970s, with an almost tragic, Shakepearian, bent. The look, the feel and language of the culture and the almost real-time look street life in NYC of that era is truly unmatched by any film before or since. Perhaps through genius, inspiration, maybe just plain luck, or all three, the producers and director hit the nail right on the head. Starring an excellent, intelligent cast of professional thespians, some with impressive stage and film credentials, and augmented by a wonderful infusion of genuine non-professionals right from the street in key roles, the film has an honesty and gritty reality that belies its budgetary constraints. Filmed largely without the permission of local authorities and unions, in winter and often after dark, it has a cinema verite feel throughout; almost a documentary. And the score! Composed and performed by Curtis Mayfield, it is as close to an utter classic as has ever been offered. It stands alone, and would have been a multi-platinum offering even without the film. If one takes the inherent flaws to this type of production; i.e. the rough editing, slightly uneven performances and almost clandestine feel, and places these in proper perspective, it is sure to delight all but the most hardened and jaded enthusiasts of film. Notable: this film set THE STYLE for black, urban culture for most of the next decade. It has no current rivals in that accomplishment. After this film, simply everything since has been empty posturing vis-a-vis popular rap music. It was "remade" during the mid 1990s and set in Miami as "Big Ballers", which was utterly horrible. Compare the two and you will see what style counts for. This film is the real deal. |
| Quote: | Superfly. Its one of the all time best pimpin' subgenre films. Back when it was released in 1972 it actually knocked The Godfather out of the #1 spot at the box office. How can a Grindhouse film be #1 at the box office? Well, its NEVER been about box office numbers, its always been about the underdogs making great films regardless of how much of a budget they had. This one certainly proves that not all Grindhouse films are worthless pieces of trash. The poster art is pure flash, the huge car with those sexy headlight ornaments! Youngblood's pimp threads are shown in their full glory. We can't forget the brilliant score by Curtis Mayfield. The Deuce gives this one a gold coke straw. |
