Nola, the protagonist was continually the one 'in power' or calling the shots in her relationships with the three men, and I thought this was an interesting and refreshing difference compared to the other movies. One thing I was wondering about was why that one scene of the two dancers was in color, when all the rest of the movie was in black and white? https://padlet.com/hydec2/s7m2txez6yvrf85/wish/1233653306 2021-02-23 20:36:42 UTC https://padlet.com/hydec2/s7m2txez6yvrf85/wish/1233653306 After watching I realized this is the first movie we have watched where to main conflict is not centered around the character's blackness. I think this is relevant because sometimes films portray black characters without all the layers that make them unique. I felt like this film focused more on intersectionality. https://padlet.com/hydec2/s7m2txez6yvrf85/wish/1233653450 2021-02-23 20:36:45 UTC https://padlet.com/hydec2/s7m2txez6yvrf85/wish/1233653450 I thought it was interesting how each of the three men (Mars, Jamie and Greer) were polar opposites of each other. https://padlet.com/hydec2/s7m2txez6yvrf85/wish/1233653660 2021-02-23 20:36:49 UTC https://padlet.com/hydec2/s7m2txez6yvrf85/wish/1233653660 This movie was super interesting in how each character seemed to develop the others in some sort of different manner. For example, each of Nola's partners seemed to characterize each other in the different ways in which they try to persuade her. putzm1 https://padlet.com/hydec2/s7m2txez6yvrf85/wish/1233653949 2021-02-23 20:36:53 UTC https://padlet.com/hydec2/s7m2txez6yvrf85/wish/1233653949 I thought the use of color vs. black and white in the film was really interesting. I was wondering why they chose to make the one scene in color and the rest in black and white. I also was curious about why they chose to have most of the film in black and white because at that time, color film had already been developed. https://padlet.com/hydec2/s7m2txez6yvrf85/wish/1233653993 2021-02-23 20:36:54 UTC https://padlet.com/hydec2/s7m2txez6yvrf85/wish/1233653993 fernandezpowellc https://padlet.com/hydec2/s7m2txez6yvrf85/wish/1233655211 I was interested in how the movie was filmed, with interviews with all the characters in the movie. I was also interested in how all the men had drastically different points of views and personalities, but how they all were similar in some way because of Nola. ]]> 2021-02-23 20:37:14 UTC https://padlet.com/hydec2/s7m2txez6yvrf85/wish/1233655211 https://padlet.com/hydec2/s7m2txez6yvrf85/wish/1233655226 This film was really thought provoking  and I enjoyed how each character had some sort of inner turmoil that played out into the larger themes of the movie.]]> 2021-02-23 20:37:14 UTC https://padlet.com/hydec2/s7m2txez6yvrf85/wish/1233655226 https://padlet.com/hydec2/s7m2txez6yvrf85/wish/1233655872 I appreciated the manner in which "She's gotta have it" challenged our stereotypical perception of masculinity. ]]> 2021-02-23 20:37:25 UTC https://padlet.com/hydec2/s7m2txez6yvrf85/wish/1233655872 hoffmana13 https://padlet.com/hydec2/s7m2txez6yvrf85/wish/1233662052 I have never seen a movie that had so many intentional interview-like scenes. I thought it was a very interesting addition to the film. It gave extra insight in a super direct manor unlike some of the other films we have watched.
