Movie to reconsider ::: Jason's Lyric

Not too many movies found way to the silver screen in the 90's that were influenced by the African American life, that contained a full bodied story line. One such movie made its way to the screen, and minus it flaws made for a good viewing of a film that is worth owning for multiple views. That movie goes by the name of Jasons Lyric. A poignant story of triumph of tragedy or in the case tragedies, one after the other. Admits all of its darkness love was flourishing and growing into something that is worth the long haul.

This film teach the weak hearted and the strong alike that there is a way around the tough obstacles if it is sort after. If the soul within is far more driven that the mind that doubts and in the pit of pain you can find beauty.

Not to many movies allow you this offering that is tailored from the cloth of the African American Community and the stories that it posses. Jason's Lyric served it up raw and beautiful. Doug McHenry offered up a feat of the willful, as well as a sexually menacing entree of goods from start to finish. Making 1994 a good year for the African American film maker. Which I think opened the door to full bodied films such as the one we have been seeing as of late.

I recomend this film to everyone and for everyone. It goes beyond the Black Experience, trancending race and bring together what all films should and that is a piece of humanity that we all share. That piece goes by the title of living and loving it.

The films stars Jada Pinkett-Smith, Allen Payne, Eddie Griffin, Anthony 'Treach' Criss, Lisa Nicole Carson, and Oscar Winner Forest Whitaker. I am sure you will be pleased to take a look at this film.
