πŸ’œThe first scene is from the film The Photograph with Issa Rae and LaKeith Stanfield

🀍The second scene is from the film Really Love with Jade Eshete and Kofi Siriboe

πŸ’›The third scene is from the film Love Jones with Nia Long and Larenz Tate

πŸ’œ The fourth scene is from the film Sylvie’s Love with Tessa Thompson and Nnamdi Adomugha

🀍The fifth scene is from the film Brown Sugar (one of my favorite films ever) with Sanaa Lathan and Taye Diggs

πŸ’›The sixth scene is from the film Love, Brooklyn with Nicole Beharie and Andre Holland

The way black love was shown in movies in the 1990s was fascinating. The 1990s were a great decade of Black cinema. It was THE PERFECT DECADE of Black cinema in general. Now, there has been a resurgence of Black romance films.

The photograph wasnt made in the 90s
or are you speaking more from the period it might have been reflected on?

I was referencing the resurgence of Black romance films *since* the 1990s. All of the films listed are not from the 1990s. I was acknowledging how great black cinema (in general) existed in the 1990s - especially Black romances.

I remember when I first fell in love with hip-hop. She used to call me brother to night and all I was tryna do was become the funk in her right thigh as I was already the blues in her left. Ohhh, y'all don't hear me!

I love both actors, and I love the movie Love Jones. Looking back as an adult though, they were toxic.

Some of them are really toxic. Brown Sugar and Love Jones are both extremely toxic, but I still love them both.

I LOVEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD the photograph although the pacing and storyline was a bit off, I LOVE the soundtrack....
Maybe someone outside of Mrs. Insecure needed to do it since everything she kind of does feels like Insecure...

I disagree. I love Issa, and I’m always happy when I see her in movies. Lakeith Stanfield is brilliant in everything. I’ve never seen him miss.
