1st watch 8/26/2001 positive ( dir john cassavetes ) represent well do early independent film by cassavetes introduce a style that be much different than what hollywood show it audience . this movie also introduce some very taboo subject and especially the actual racism that probably be prevalent all over the country but be not display by the mostly white control filmmaker of the time . about the only black actor that have much respect at this time be the one that act and displayed personality like white ( aka . sidney poitier ) . besides this and the idea of end a film without truly conclude the relationship that begin leave many moviegoer dumbfound but actually make the viewer realize that life be like this ( it go on . ) . i prefer this kind of an end because it make you think more about the character and what may happen next and the conclusion be not just lay out for you . the movie follow the life of people ( particulary a couple of people who have a brief relationship and happen to be opposite skin color ) then we watch what happen when the white man realize what he do . this be do very well and make the movie very special . the acting be supposedly do improvisationally which make the movie even more amazing . i guess you can say i like this movie and if you can not tell . if you can find it check out this classic early independent film .
