It's obvious that the cameraman tried to be adventurous and arty, but it ended up looking horrid. PAUL ROBESON : HIS CAREER 1564 Jan - fax MUSIC.Let's talk about the cinematography.if you can even call it that. 1971 Schlosser , Anatol I. I've seen Mexican Mummy and Luchador films and "Sweet Sweetback" is SIGNIFICANTLY worse!A TORRENT ( i.e. In fact, there's almost nothing positive I can say about the movie-and it's light-years worse than the worst thing Ed Wood ever produced! Yes, folks, it's that bad! And, after having seen several dozen films in the genre, I think I have some idea what I'm talking about in this review. That's because, quite frankly, the film is rougher and less polished than even the earliest John Waters film.
I assume most of his budget went to hire ugly prostitutes for these scenes. Most people under anesthesia emote more than he did! The only thing close to acting that he seemed to do was have sex repeatedly-with very unattractive women. I have never seen a more amateurish bit of camera-work-and I've reviewed over 8000 movies!As for the acting.oh, the horror! Melvin Van Peebles says almost nothing and does almost nothing in the film-like it is a zombie film. The edits, it appears, were done by Ray Charles.
I assume Melvin was motivated by heroin or battery acid or a massive head injury which allowed him to make such an irresponsible scene.As far as the plot goes, this could have been good.but wasn't. How the film maker got away with this legally is beyond me. They are both VERY naked and he appears to he having intercourse with her. Mario Van Peebles, the way underage son of the director, engages in a very, very realistic sex act with a woman of about 30 years of age. He simply sleep-walked throughout the film.Speaking of nude scenes, the film begins with a bit of child pornography.
In fact ANY other film of the genre is better than this film. But, with so many more competent blaxsploitation films out there, I suggest you try them first. The rest of the film consists of the cops trying to catch him.I am sure this was very satisfying for black audiences of the day, as they were probably very well acquainted with police brutality (a national sport up until the late 1960s) and Van Peebles was capitalizing on this resentment. Eventually, the police arrest him and some other innocent man and start working the other guy over even though they know neither had anything to do with a crime-and the cops even admit this! They randomly picked a couple black men to beat up just to make the chief happy! But, while they are pummeling the other man, Melvin turns on them and beats the crap out of them. You assume he's some sort of prostitute and he's about as far from Shaft (perhaps a bad choice) or Hammer or the other black heroes of the 70s as you can get. The first 10 minutes of the film consisted of having Melvin having sex in front of groups of people.
And, when you watch the director on the accompanying DVD extra, you assume this was the case.Reviewed by jboothmillard 6 / 10 Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss SongAny film that features in the book 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die has got to be worth trying in my opinion, I have been both surprised and occasionally questioning the titles, and this is one I'm somewhere in between. It's horribly incompetent and looks like a film made by crack-heads. In fact, staring as a toilet for 90 minutes is better.the film is that bad! Just because it's first doesn't mean it's best.
Next we see Sweetback travelling from South Central Los Angeles towards the United States–Mexico border, where he is arrested again for the earlier assault, only to escape again during a riot. When they do arrest him they also bring in young Black Panther named Mu-Mu (Hubert Scales), who insults the police, and eventually the officers remove his cuffs to beat him up very badly, and Sweetback, still cuffed, beats them until unconscious. A black man has been murdered, and the LAPD speak to Sweetback's boss Beetle (Simon Chuckster), and they get his permission to arrest Sweetback, blame him for the crime and then quickly release him to make peace in the black community.
