生死十分钟原名:Ten Minutes to Live,
A movie producer offers a nightclub singer a role in his latest film, but all he really wants to do is bed her. She knows, but accepts anyway. Meanwhile, a patron at the club gets a note saying that she'll soon get another note, and that she will be killed ten minutes after that.
除了几段舞蹈以外其他都乏善可陈。。。不过作为一部三十年代早期由黑人导演执导并且差不多由全部黑人演员来出演的电影来说它的历史价值远远高于了它的观看价值。。。
重复用了The Exile里面的cabaret片段吧,感觉Micheaux是在认真记录Chicago/Harlem舞厅文化而不是讲故事了hhhhh两人“相声”那段的内容很有趣,又夸了一把Booker T. Washington小嘲了嘲Federic Douglass所谓的“自由”【太短了感觉故事不完整,开头找tomboy演员的部分后面怎么就丢掉了?还想说看看早期race cinema的black queerness呢【前后两趴因为有相同的角色所以不确定该不该看作一致,故事线剪得太莫名了很难理清思路【【可是Guilford真的好美啊!
歌舞部分占比太大且与主线剧情割裂太多,最后的反转也很莫名其妙。唯一好点的也就第二部分女主一人避难的段落。
