“Minor interventions [of stereotypes]…occur rarely.”
hooks urges for the support of independent cinema. With only conventional frameworks, we can never know a full experience. We need artists that reject Hollywood commercialism’s “unfeathered imaginations.” She basically says we need a more holistic variety of Black filmmakers — not just more Spike Lee copycats lol

bell hooks tears Larry Clark a new one in her essay on Kids (1995) (“Kids: Transgressive Subjects: Reactionary Film”). Some defend the film’s cultural impact since it was one of the earlier depictions of how HIV/AIDS affects heterosexual people. It would’ve been interesting to hear a response geared toward that, but still potent.
Crooklyn (1994) is my favorite of the mentioned films so far
