Movies in recent memory like the aforementioned <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moonlight, Get Out, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt7349662\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">BlacKkKlansman<\/span><\/a>, Black Panther <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sorry To Bother You <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are all capable of being voted Best Picture now without being a surprise. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s fair to say that these films have all drawn the public&#8217;s eye. From <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black Panther<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s impressive worldwide gross of $1,346,844,034 to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moonlight\u2019s <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">captivating<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">portrayal of sexuality and identity in a black man&#8217;s life. These films are showcasing the creative capabilities and how crafting narratives in response to real world events connect us to stories portrayed on the big screen. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What better example than this year&#8217;s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BlacKkKlansman<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Spike Lee\u2019s true story of Ron Stallworth, the first Black officer on the Colorado Springs police force and his infiltration of the Ku Klux Klan <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> extremely timely with the growing number of \u201cfar right\u201d movements in the country. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sorry To Bother You,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> directed by Boots Riley, also has messages about classism and politics under the surface of its witty and quirky exterior.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, this renaissance didn\u2019t happen overnight. That started in the 1970s\u2019 with the arrival of the \u201cblaxploitation\u201d films, movies that had primarily black casts and featured them as the focus of the movie, the first ones being <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sweet Sweetback&#8217;s Baadasssss Song <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Shaft <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">both released in 1971. \u00a0These films did for Black cinema what <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crazy Rich Asians <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Searching <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are doing for the Asian-American community, both released this year. Now is when studios can see the results of an ethnic blockbuster and hopefully continue to create more like them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Representation is one of the factors that goes into encouraging more people of color to get into arts and entertainment. In a survey from March by YouGov.com, 58% of Black Americans said that growing up, they did not have television and film role models that looked like them. Maybe if they had, the entertainment industry could have had more writers, producers and directors of color <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a prospect the current generation could change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the end of 2018 draws closer, what do we have to look forward to and where is Black cinema headed next? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jenkins is returning with his widely anticipated <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If Beale Street Could Talk, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a likely Oscar contender based solely off his name alone.
