[starstuff]

@thecuriousproject I agree. It is sickening. Unfortunately these people are the grease that keep the cogs going in their version of the art world.

[GimmeKitty]

@thecuriousproject Yes, I agree. I have seen this film THRICE and still can't make much sense of it.

Bad production values, poorly recorded dialogue, bad "acting", no plot, what more can one say?

It's NOT Scorsese.

Most Haitians have french French dna due to colonization, just like most African-Americans have European-American dna in there genetic profile due to Americans history of slavery. Basquiat's parents were if both Haitians though.

[Blacksky17]

He was not french he was haitian

[phonedial9]

.. actually he was American, of Puertorican/Haitian decent.

[GimmeKitty]

@phonedial9 The art world elite were racist. Simple.

[Smolley28]

This has nothing to do with what Im looking for; this is horrible.
