Diary entries forThe Jazz Singer
The Jazz Singer
i really tried to rate this objectively but i just can’t. racism and blackface is wrong now and it was wrong then, no exceptions, no excuses. even without the blackface it’s just a bad movie. but i’ll give it props for being the first ever sound film.
The Jazz Singer
The irony of Jackie talking about "the cry of my [Jewish] race" and then immediately going on stage to perform in blackface. RIP
The Jazz Singer
Imaginemos que esto era el Avatar de aquella época donde un James Cameron quiso revolucionar la historia del cine para siempre. (Así es, Babylon y Singing in the rain me trajeron hasta aquí)
The Jazz Singer
“Wait a minute, wait a minute, you ain't heard nothin' yet!” One star for it being a film historical...thing. Another for it being mentioned in Downton Abbey: A New Era (https://boxd.it/uUHk).
