hey there people..I need some help...I wounder if someone could tell me when the first film made with a afro american in it. How they did gain respect form white filmmakers..and how it was after Sidney Poiter won the oscars. And how they have developed in the movie buissnes since the first afro american starred in a movie..
This is only on america.
If some one would be kind to help me I would became very happy..
Thanks! smile

Gundark
Well many of the first movie "shorts" were white actors in blackface. I don't know the first black actor to appear in an actual Hollywood feature film. Try this link for more on that.

While Poitier opened the door for actors and actresses I think the field has yet to be truly expanded in terms of recognition for directors, producers, screenwriters and the like.

The professional struggles of rising black actors and actresses over the years can only be surpassed by their personal struggles within society as a whole. I think most of the time black entertainers were considered talented in the sense that they could perform on stage or on film only because they had been scripted to do so. To rise above the written page and grasp the true nature of the character one is imitating and then have the audience realize the actor or actress has reached fruition with their performance is to truly have acheived perfection within a role.

Thomas H

No one here knows what the hell.

Is this for a paper, or just for shits and giggles?

Gundark
I think he had a paper to do before. The one he started working on the night before it was due. Thats why I asked him. Obviously research is not his strong point.

LaurenE147
Yes, I've just finished up Latin I in school and I had a brilliant teacher so I learned a lot. It means "Always Faithful". I think its the motto for the US marines.

Gundark
Actually its "Semper Fi", Always Ready. But close enough, Lauren. wink

Ushgarak
Say WHAT, Gundy?

yerssot
She said this, Ush roll eyes (sarcastic)

Ushgarak
Ba-dum-boom!

Ok, the sense behind what Gundy said is what I am trying to get at here...

yerssot
ok,... fair enough...

*han solos voice*
ash her!

LaurenE147
Are you talking about the motto or the pharse itself? Because I know for an absolute fact that Semper Fidelis means always faithful.

Thomas H
Semper Fidelis is the motto of the US marines, but they say, Semper Fi!


Semper Fi!

Gundark
Thats what they say. Sorry Ush - its a stupid american thing.

finti
and Fi is short for enemy (fiende) in Norwegian military termology

Thomas H
you are really an educated man... big grin

the US Rangers always say Hooo-ah, does that have any special meaning?...not likely but maybe...

finti
well the navy seals have the same, it is kind of and acceptance to be under orders, it has also become a trade mark of theirs

Thomas H
mmmkay
