this film brought together a lot of parallel themes. after leaving the movie i keep talking about it, surprised that i was not familiar with the involvement of Zora and Langston in the Renaissance time period gay struggle. there were so many timeless themes involved in this movie which is such a rarity in today's one-oversimplified-theme kind of world. it is very provocative and forces the viewer to explore their own views on the issue of linking these causes together (i.e. class/homeless/gay/black/whoredom).
i do have one remaining question, please answer it or comment if you can:
was the ringleader of the guys that beat up Perry his friend? he was angry when Perry did not want to compromise his art for the white dealer and never came back in the movie. it also would parallel the memory of Bruce's when Fire was burned in the steel trash can by other blacks.
