Roll Bounce

The movie Roll Bounce came on BET last night; I couldn’t help but turn the volume all the way up.

 Roll Bounce is about an African American teen name Xavier wanting to win the championship tournament of roller skating for his community, but he also undergoes personal family issue with his mother being deceased. All the classic music that was played in that movie had me dancing and pretending like I was on skates. Most of the scenes were hilarious; even though it’s an old movie I could watch it over and over. Watching the movie makes me want to go skating even though, I’m only good at roller blading.

When watching this movie last night, it brought memories to when it first came out. Baby Boy has pro and cons from viewers of the movie. Some may think the movie is ignorant and portrays the black community in negative way; therefore influencing people mindsets that every black male undergoes these problems living in a black community. Some viewers argued that the movie was pointless and it had no substance. I thought the movie was entertaining, however I always keep in mind the media could be trying to place a negative image like a stereotype on African Americans. I guess thinking it is ok, means that my mind has allow the stereotype to be acceptable? Perhaps, but entertainment like this can only affect me based off my position or stance on it.
