Explains why revolutionary groups like the Black Panthers were formed in 60s-70s
I first became familiar with the Final Comedown via the soundtrack which was performed by Jazz guitarist Grant Green and released on Blue Note Records. It is some great Soul-Jazz. The movie is pretty good as well. Even though it doesn’t say it, the film is based upon the confrontations between the police and the Black Panthers and starred a very young Billy Dee Williams. It was an example of how the Blaxploitation genre had expanded from gangsters to politics.<br /><br />The movie starts off by showing the conditions in the ghetto for African Americans as a backdrop to why revolutionary groups like the Panthers were created. There’s a young girl sleeping in a bed for instance, while a rat crawls around on her windowsill. It highlights that all the shops are owned by whites. That blacks go to work for whites doing things like being maids. That black communities are overpoliced. While that’s shown a group of blacks with guns recite the preamble to the Constitution that all men are created equal. That is meant to be ironic because blacks are obviously not equal, and not being treated fairly in America. The intro ends with a large shootout between the police and revolutionaries. The plot of the movie is to explain what caused that confrontation. The opening explains that oppression always garners resistance and that was why people formed organizations like the Black Panthers.<br /><br />The script was just as radical as the introduction. Billy Dee Williams talks about how whites and blacks have different experiences and realities. He gets into an argument with his mother who accepts the plight of blacks, and tells him she doesn’t want to blame the white man for everything and people just have to work hard. Billy Dee replies that society dehumanizes blacks so much that they hate themselves. There are other scenes that discuss similar matters.<br /><br />The movie also advocates for the Black Panthers’ revolutionary program. The Black Panthers were not anti-white. They believed in working with white groups that were down for the cause, and have them work towards revolution in their communities. Thus Billy Dee’s group plans a revolt with a white group. As the head of the white group says the issues of race and poverty and revolution has to be brought to the white neighborhoods as well.<br /><br />The reason why films like this were even possible was because blacks started making their own independent films. This one was the result of Bill Dee Williams and the producer/director Oscar Williams’ production companies. This along with The Spook Stood By The Door were really out there even for their times. It was a total shock that they were ever able to be put to film. It reminds people that during the 1960s-70s there were groups in America talking about revolution, which is now almost completely forgotten.<br />C
