Can Movies Create a “Latin@ Community”? Do We Want them To?
3:18 pm By Jennifer Woodard Maderazo · Movies · 2 Comments
10 Sep 2008Spike Lee’s new movie, “Miracle at St. Anna” is coming out September 25th and already getting reviewers tied in a knot. Some people find it lumbering and dull, others find it amazing and refreshing. Briefly, Miracle is the story of a battalion of black soldiers during WWII. Apparently all the usual themes are in the movie, racial conflicts, soldier angst, haunting magical realism, etc.
But the thing that I was interested in reading about the film is that it works to create a ‘black community’ in the U.S.
