Meaningful Concepts

I had heard of the movie "Bones" before, because I am a fan of the show "Bones," and the two often come up in the same web search. However, I had not heard of "Def by Temptation," nor did I realize how important "Bones" was. The interpretation of black horror films was completely new to me. I found Reid's scene by scene analysis both interesting and informative. It's cool how so many different genres carry significance for the study of black film.
I was also previously unaware of the specific eras in black film making, like the second renaissance of the 60s and 70s. That whole era was filled with social change, like the civil rights movement, so it makes sense that African American filmmakers would flourish during that time.
