Jungle Fever
A successful and married black man contemplates having an affair with a white girl from work. He's quite rightly worried that the racial difference would make an already taboo relationship even worse.

My second one is Spike Lee's "Jungle Fever". Stevie Wonder did the entire soundtrack and each song he created I mean he is he. I mean 'cause it seemed like he watched a movie and everything went with everything, you know. It was just catered to the movie was just conceptualized you know this piece of material for that film.
Claudine
Claudine is a single mother in New York City who endures an exhausting commute to the suburbs where she works as a maid for wealthy families. In one carefully tended white community, she meets Roop, a charismatic but irresponsible garbage collector. Romance quickly ensues, but Claudine doubts that their relationship is good for her six children, and Rupert, despite his good nature, is reluctant to take on fatherhood.

I would say the [favorite] movie and soundtrack of mine is Claudine with James Earl Jones and Diahann Carroll. It was penned by Curtis Mayfield and some songs were sang by Gladys Knight. It was just very warm, you know, the whole thing very funky soulful and tragic in the times that needed tragedy.

This one scene in Star Wars — the guy was fighting the Sith Lord with the red and black face.
Darth Maul. That was The Phantom Menace. Yeah, you know what I’m talking about. There was one scene where they were fighting, anThat must’ve been the scariest moment of that man’s life and this motherfucker just got down on one knee and took a breath? That’s some Jedi shit! I fell in love with that. Whenever I’m afraid, I do that: Take a minute and breathe.

My fav film maker is @alejodorowsky. He made a movie called The holy mountain in the 70s. 1 of his characters is called the painted lady ... She wore all symbols and names of God on her body. I posed as her in a photo shoot for New Am pt2. This idea embodies who we ALL are.. One ... This photo was chosen & edited by the promoters here in Malaysia. They were very responsible to the people and it's Muslim beliefs ... One particular paper retrieved am unedited photo and printed it along with its article.. This is where the upset began ...The gov. Of Malaysia had to be responsible to its people's beliefs .. Even If it were just 1 or 2 complaints. I understand. It's an election year ... Keep in mind.
