"The best “Black” (propaganda) movie ever to be released. Forget stuff like boyz ‘n the hood, this is where (US) black cinema peaks. "

"As far as iconic revolutionary filmmaking goes, this one of the best out there, definitely in my top 5! Lots of iconic lines that were often sampled in hip hop songs from the 90s, which I also love! "

"Between this and the book, both are remarkable. But i’d like to put focus on this 70s gem. This is more than a black film but a revolutionary class film as noted by a particular scene with a character towards the middle of the film. Watch this now before the remake comes: an exquisite dark chocolate loses its sweetness if consumed after a hershey bar."
