A Revolutionary Film, with a Counter-revolutionary Soundtrack?
https://www.bitchmedia.org/article/jay-z-judas-and-the-black-messiah-soundtrack-review
For all of you who watched the film Judas and the Black Messiah, and/or read “Women’s Love, Black Joy and Human Liberation, a Review of Judas and the Black Messiah” (https://alexandersjeunity.medium.com/womens-love-black-joy-human-liberation-64c7955cccf6), please read this review of the soundtrack of the film, “Nobody’s Savior: Jay-Z Can’t Be Our Messiah,” by LaTesha Harris.
In the words of one of our comrades, Aya De Leon, “This is the spot [the soundtrack] where Judas and the Black Messiah did all its compromising.”
Our comrade, Aya, goes on to promote this review by Latisha Harris with this introduction: “She’s critiquing how a SOCIALIST film has a CAPITALIST soundtrack.”
We ask you the reader: Is it possible for a film to be revolutionary while having a counter-revolutionary soundtrack?
All feedback is welcome.
