Black in Period Films

This blog was not made to bash or tear down films. So I'll keep this review short. If you want to view a historically accurate western with blacks in it, this film is NOT the one to watch. Nothing is accurate. If you want a well written and executed film, this is NOT the movie to watch. As bad as Gang of Roses is. Gang of Roses 2 is worse. But you never know. One of my viewers may end up liking this movie. A few pictures:

Let me preface this by saying the idea was a wonderful one. Five women in the Wild Wild West go on a quest for revenge. The premise behind most good  Westerns. It is just the execution and historical inaccuracies that I feel fail the movie.  I've made a list: Music doesn't not match the period. Hip-Hop and R&B can be heard through out the entire film. Many of the female characters are wearing bellytops Dialogue : "Now's let's all just chill out for one hot minute." Dialogue : "You feel me baby." Women are seen wearing makeup. Not makeup that fits the period either Dialogue : "Why it gotta be all dat?" Babyface gives Chasity a rhinstone necklace as a gift.  Microphone battery pack can be seen None of the main character's outfits are authentic to the period Many of the women can be seen wearing modern lingerie instead of corsets.
