Marketing For Talk To Me


This film has had a terrible marketing campaign. It makes this movie look like an idiotic comedy when it is actually one of the best movies I've seen this year. They are always showing the scene where Martin Sheen looks on in horror through the booth glass. Taken out of context the scene looks like a generic stick it to the white man scene. In reality it has nothing to do with that and it's actually one of the funniest scenes in the movie. This movie caught me completely off-guard and I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was. The marketing campaign is going to make a lot of people miss a great movie.

And if they had marketed it as a more serious and thoughtful film perhaps even more people would have stayed away. That's the dilemma for black movies.

I hope that's true because this movie deserves to be a success. I've been telling anyone who will listen to go see this movie.
