the answer is no.

>>221399913
2 Fast 2 Furious

>>221399913
Spike Lee has made three movies that aren't about being black. For some reason they're among his best.
>Oldboy remake
>25th Hour
>Inside Man

Friday

>>221399913
US, Jordan Peele's second film. Technically it has some themes about upper class vs lower class but nothing specifically about the blacks even though it stars them. I know a lot of people hate this movie but I enjoyed it. It's a movie that could have been the same with White people but Lupita Nyongo was very good in it . But technically Jordan Peele is half white so I don't know if that counts.

If you ask a black person for their favorite black movie they'll almost always say something like Friday or a hood drama that has some racial themes but it isn't really the main focus.
Black movies about racism are more likely to get big marketing budgets lately because that's all white libs will watch. Same reason why black women in games are always ugly.

I mean it's partially about it but its not the mean point. I don't even agree with the films director on politics but that's still one of the funniest movies I've seen in ages.

Me. I mistook Tyler Perry for Steve McQueen.
>>
>>221402252
I disagree. That's a black hood movie. The funny thing is that almost all of Antoine Fuqua's other movies aren't black flicks at all. His filmography is like 95% regular action shit like
>The Replacement Killers
>King Arthur
>Tears of the Sun
>Shooter
>The Equalizer
But he did do a slave movie a few years ago and the new Michael Jackson biopic.
I will add
>From Hell
by the Hughes Brothers who did Menace 2 Society.
>>
>>221402280
>mistook Tyler Perry for Steve McQueen.
one of them wrote Shame and Hunger. the other played Madea
>>
>>221402415
Shame is a really good movie that no one talks about although I personally assume its because Disney is withholding the film these days since they own the North American rights and they refuse to release films with an NC-17 like Shame had.
>>
>>221401333
yes i riked it.

>>221402382
>black hood movie
what's wrong with this? i thought the complaint about "black experience" movies was about them being racially charged or something. do you expect black directors to make movies with all white casts? nobody bitches about scorsese constantly making movies about italians.
>>
>>221399752
a lot of black people just dont have experience with movies
they mostly watch blaxploitation, 90s hood movies, madea and not much else
I dont think a lot of black people are even aware that a movie can be about something other than being black
>>
>>221399752
Blacks like putting the word black in their movie titles almost as much as Americans like putting American
>>
>>221399752
12 Years a Slave is a great movie and not "about being black" necessarily
you could tell the same story about bondage and class in multiple time periods and places and still have it the same
>>
>>221400578
>85% of Wes Anderson movies
None of which speak to being white.

>>221399913

>When do white directors get to make a movie about being white
Hopefully never as that would be gay. Why would you want to watch something like that? Whites don't need to stoop to such desperation.
>>
>>221399752
You made the list.
>>
>>221405038
>12 Years a Slave
>not "about being black
Wot?

>>221399752
because jews control the movie industry
