Excellent because of its ability to disturb.
Although on the surface a stupid, simplistic and “unrealistic” film, there is much more to the film. If the roles were reversed and every black character was played by a white and every white by a black I would be bored to tears, the film would never have made a dime, and we’d all hate it with justification. However, it was this very realization, during the film, which made me respect its message. Because the roles are completely and totally reversed, swapping black and white character for character, the film is disturbing. It’s almost painful to watch. Ask yourself while you’re watching how you’re reacting and how the reaction would be different if there were no race reversals. Maybe that’s because of the stereotypes we have in place and the roles we do play in the world – if it were just another story about a black man down on his luck we’d all yawn but because it’s a white man and all of society is reversed, we watch, we wonder how it will play out, and we’re bothered by it. I analogize the film to Planet of the Apes in some ways because of its ability to make us step back and take a look at society in a different way entirely. It is not as well done as Planet of the Apes but is worthwhile.
