Review of Get on the Bus (1996) by Gareth M — 21 Jan 2009
I watched this with it being "Obama" day; thought it be quite apt, although not having a clue what the "Million Man March" was (thank you wilkopedia).
This would make a good English Literature or perhaps American Social studies, or even just good to watch in black community groups. Its essentially a very well written group of different black men on a bus, in a talking heads style which is very addictive. There are lots of procogative issues inlcuded including sexism, homophobia and (pro) racism which in itself sparks a reaction, but then thats the point.
The whole film is a open debate for black people, about black americans, there rights, there history, there perceptions (and perceptors) and their hope and dreams which is ultimately effective. However this constraints and restrict the audiences to americans and specifically black americans only.
