I was very young when this film
came out I was actually 10 going on 11.
Now when I saw it as a teenager I thought I want to be Nina Mosley
(played by one of my big sisters in my head, Nia Long) if she were my sister we
would have a ball believe me. What drove me not only the love story between her
and Darius Lovehall (played by Larenz Tate) it was their natural chemistry,
their connection, their passion for spoken word, and also the fact they can
connect on an intellectual level and more too. Despite the obstacles and
challenges they faced in their relationship. They still found a way to connect
and find out they really were destined to be together in the end as well. My
favorite scene probably the montage of them when they are running through the
park Darius gives Nina a piggy back ride, them dancing together learning how to
step, and probably the last scene when they reunite again love when he says
“Let’s get out of this rain” lol cause sorry every girl knows I have got to get
out of this rain right away or any precipitation lol). I love that people still
love and celebrate the film. It was honored at the American Black Film Festival
this year, the cast united on stage with the film’s director, and artists who
were featured on the film’s soundtrack. I loved the soundtrack actually it made
me appreciate music by Duke Ellington too there was something about the music,
the film, characters, and costumes it fit that time frame, and everything
actually. Sometimes some films and cast don’t realize how much of an impact
they will have on their public audience. You inspire them to want to have a
relationship just as the characters in the movie.
Congratulations to the cast all of
them are doing amazing special shout out to Bill Bellamy, Isaiah Washington,
Nia Long, Larenz Tate, Lisa Nicole Carson, and everyone who had a major or small
part in the film. The film was so successful there was also a play adapted from
the movie’s screenplay as well. Did very successful as well so keep it up
cannot wait to see what next love story will captivate audiences yet.
