‘Last Black Man’ is heavily influenced by Spike Lee’s filmmaking. Much like Lee’s films, it examines race relations, gentrification and urban poverty in Black America. These themes, and Lee’s immaculate style of filmmaking (a few Lee-esque dolly shots show up) are used by Talbot in the movie. Of course, there is nothing wrong in finding your own directorial voice by using exterior influences. But, something tells me, that my friend can’t surely be the only person complaining about Talbot being white. That’s just the way it goes these days — who is telling the story is more important than how the story is told. Contribute Hire me
