Using the 2012 release of the film Django Unchained as the focal point of much of the discussion, these essays and reviews provide a critical perspective on the challenges facing filmmakers and actors when confronted with issues on race and the historical portrayal of African American characters. Reed also addresses the Black community's perceptiveness as discerning and responsible consumers of film, theatre, art, and music. 563 Illustrated wrapper.|5CU-BANC 600 10 Tarantino, Quentin|xCriticism and interpretation. 630 00 Django unchained (Motion picture) 650 0 African Americans in motion pictures. 650 0 African Americans in the motion picture industry. 650 0 Race in motion pictures. 700 1 Reed, Ishmael,|d1938-|eeditor. 752 United States|bIllinois|dChicago. 956 20160919|btbpr 956 20161004|bpfmcq|cMC 957 OCLC xref loaded 20161023 994 C0|bCUY
