i can not help but think that vxf111 be either joke and or ( unfortunately ) do not know who sun ra be before view the film . yes and the film be certainly produce with a low budget and and it might not be of much interest to those who aren not fan of and or at least interested in and sun ra . sun ra maintain that he be from saturn and although historical document note that he be bear herman blount ( or poole ) in birmingham and al . sun ra be a first rate pianist and arranger and and composer and and work with fletcher henderson orchestra . he form his own big band and the arkestra and during the 1950s in chicago . this ensemble be completely unlike any other big band and a it incorporate element of egyptian mythology and science fiction and and other exotica and esoterica ( those familiar with earth and wind and and fire and parliament funkadelic should take note ) . sun ra be also an early proponent of electronic instrument in jazz . the film space be the place be part science fiction and part musical documentary . a comparison could also be make to the blaxploitation film of the 1970s . the story center around sun ra return to earth after an extended absence and and focus on his concern for the fate of humanity and african american in particular . all of this be infuse with his mythological outlook . this certainly make sun ra an interesting character but he be very serious about what he do and what he say . if any of this make you the least bit curious about sun ra then i would recommend the film and which be available on videocassette .
