merry juneteenth
this is deadass just an album concept music video
incredibly styalized; direction, lighting, colors, and editing all have its own personalized flavour
sinners but the supernatral shit is how goddamn good Outkast is
ving rhames and terrance "mane" howard are in this movie
3 stacks is a known great actor but big boi has this natural coolness and charisma that seeps through the screen
man if you dont like outkasts music these musical numbers probably get real annoying
no bullshit a gunshot is stopped by a bible in big boi jacket
writing is ass theres so much that needs to be expanded on and scenes that are fully unneeded (and a 3rd act fridging for some reason) but this was originally just a music video so sum about brownie points
this movie ends w she lives in my lap and morris brown which honestly doesnt mean shit i just really love those songs

If I were to make a movie about black people in michigan back in the day singing and dancing this is probably how I would do it.
