constant, rhythmic modulation of light, color, and sound channeled through the eternally fascinating art of stained glass. holy.
when i say children deserve better art (particularly cinema) this is what i be talkin bout. if we’re being real though, this should be shown to anyone to exemplify how simple, practical lessons on western imperialism, exploitation, and oppression of africans can be shown through art before one dives deeper, before one learns more.

one must applaud the dutiful composition of bodies and objects within the frame, the atmosphere rendered by such (along with some “effects”), and the many faces, which are given the proper time to morph and impose their emotion onto us. the great silent filmmakers may have been the most innovative of all.

Leilah sent me this hoping for me to watch it. Typically I do get excited about this, as I was here, but I never know what to expect. Why’d I get sent this? Why does this person think I’ll love it, or why do they want to know what I’ll think? I can make guesses, but I’m never 100% sure. I went in with minimal information but maximum interest. And I was immediately taken. Many times, when a film opens immediately with its credits on a blank screen (in this case, the color red, already differing from the typical black) it sets the the tone for the rest of the film (sometimes to similar effect to a shot, albeit in different ways). The video game-esque visual design as if every person is a character and every scene is a level really play into the structuring of the rest of the film. This is why in the end when Leilahhas Egypt read and reread the closing words, one is confronted with the eternal subjectivity of film, even if it’s “Documentary”. Weinraub exemplifies this in the most beautiful way in the in-between of both of the previously mentioned moments, preserving the memory of Shakedown as well as the dignity of all involved, and that’s what truly matters.
