Synopsis

Watch: Baadasssss! 2003 123movies, Full Movie Online – Melvin Van Peebles stunned the world for the first time, with his debut feature, The Story of a Three Day Pass. Filmed in France and selected as the French entry in the San Francisco Film Festival, Melvin’s film was awarded the top prize. Saying it was controversial would be an understatement. In 1968 for a black man to walk up to the podium and accept the top festival award for a film he had to go abroad to make–now that’s how you make your mark. After his comedy, Watermelon Man, Melvin was determined to push the Hollywood boundaries with the groundbreaking, and even more controversial, Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song. Turned down by every major studio including Columbia, where he had a three-picture deal, Melvin was forced to basically self-finance. Risking everything he had, Melvin delivered to the world the first Black Ghetto hero on the big screen–whether they were ready or not. More than 30 years later, history is being fashioned again in the telling of this very tale. Mario Van Peebles, Melvin’s son, directs an honest and revealing portrait of his pioneering father. Mario now tells the story of the making of Melvin Van Peebles’ landmark 1971 film, Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song, including Melvin’s struggles to raise money to fund the film under the guise of creating a black porno film. Melvin had ducked creditors, the unions and had to bail out his camera crew after they were arrested because a white cop decided a bunch of Negroes and hippies couldn’t have come by that camera equipment honestly. Despite death threats and temporarily losing sight in one eye, Melvin somehow managed to whip into shape a rag-tag, multi-racial crew and finish the film that would give birth to birth of a new era which was about to explode: Independent Black Cinema..
Plot: Director Mario Van Peebles chronicles the complicated production of his father Melvin’s classic 1971 film, “Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song.” Playing his father in the film, Van Peebles offers an unapologetic account of Melvin’s brash and sometimes deceptive conduct on the set of the film, including questionable antics like writing bad checks, tricking a local fire department and allowing his son, Mario, to shoot racy sex scenes at the age of 11.

Good tribute by son to his father
It’s ashame that this movie wasn’t seen by more people. It is very good as a tribute from a son to his father. This is a movie for people who want to know how is was and still maybe is to get an independent film made. I never saw the original Mario Van Peeples film but I might just have to check it out. It was a revolutionary film for a revolutionary time. Unfortunately this film’s poor performance is just another indication of how comformist we’ve become. There is little revolution in the present generation no matter what the hip-hop folks would lead the masses to believe. Gangstra rap is no Sweetback. Mario saw first hand how his father had to struggle against a system that works against true creativity and genius.
