Ahmad/ Back in the Day
…But, sometimes I still sit and reminesce
Then, think about the years I was raised.. back in the days…
classic
Having seen and loved the Paris version I went to go see this last night. 1. I suggest everyone go see this, especially Tumblr people because the Tumblr crowd is a sucker for the quaint and romantic. There are great actors and even better directors and writers.
MY BIGGEST PROBLEM is that even though it tried to capture NYC, with every different age group and including the mix of foreign culture that is the make up of NYC, the domestic minority was COMPLETELY left out. I mean not a single short set around African Americans from NYC, Puerto Ricans from NYC, Dominicans from NYC, Caribbean from NYC*, Muslims.
And this really bothered me. I mean there wasn’t even a “stereotypical” view on any of these groups. I was like “Damn…” I know I’m not from New York but you would think that Manhattan, more specifically its lower east side, was New York. And that everywhere else wasn’t. I dare someone to make a D.C. I Love You and not include at least a short about African Americans or a short about Latin Americans. It wouldn’t be plausible. Even Paris, Je T’aime, included Parisian Muslims and Afro Parisians.
I’m saying that even with all that said, it is a great movie. I think I may actually pay to see it again b/c there really are some GREAT shorts. But what would NYC be without African Americans and Latin Americans?
* The short Natalie Portman wrote and directed has, I believe, a Caribbean black man as a lead. But I’m not really good at deciphering accents.

Did you know that renowned African American artist Romare Bearden, who spent time as a baseball player in the Negro Leagues, rejected an offer to play Major League ball because they wanted him to pass for white?

OK. So I used to be heavy heavy heavy on the beats. Then I realized I liked writing better and then I realized I loved film and wanted to do movies. But I always still have the urge to make beats once and a while. Here is a little thingy I did that is MILES AWAY from being done as you can tell by no drums on the hook and it’s not really mixed very well and no additional melody or no bass or… I could go on but point is it’s not done. But I sampled one of my Favorite songs ever… A Million tumblarity points to whoever knows the sampled track? It’s fairly easy I think?
