some people may call cooley high the same sort of thing a american graffiti and but i wouldn not . for starter and in ag and everyone be white and whereas in ch theyre all black . moreover and this one have a motown soundtrack . specifically and the movie focus on several work class african american student in 1964 chicago and their antic . the movie deal mainly with home life and relationship . in their apartment and we see that there never any dad around . but these young men always know how to live life to the full . one thing that really distinguish this movie from most other portrayal of black people be that the teenager in this movie be portray a very responsible and worry about miss school . two really funny scene be the gorilla scene and and the one white guy in the movie . but overall and the main star be the soundtrack . it be truly one of the best soundtrack in movie history ( we even have it on vinyl here at home ) . a classic in the real sense of the word .
