It''s real sad when you think about it but I don't think that Black Hollywood has lost its originality; I moreso feel as if it's not trying to maintain any originality. All Black movies usually deal with drugs, revenge, and soundtracking something.
I mean look at such movies like The Firm, Double Jeopardy....you know movies that Tom, Ashley Judd, Penelope Cruz, Russell Crowe and the likes would starr in. I never really see blacks trying to produce movies like those. I can't really say its white hollywoods fault because we can make our own movies. But then again white hollywood don't want to see us in roles like these. Maybe black hollywood should start demanding better roles; especially when they claim status like Will Smith and Halle Berry or even Samuel "don' did every role" Jackson.
But are we interested in seeing ourselves in roles other than gang bangers, baby mommas begging Jody to come back home, or comedians.
