Love this analysis of the movie, L Vago. Very cool insights. Agreed, not a typical slacker movie. But then, the mid-1990s were an era of a different kind of expected work ethic than the 60s-70s-80s -- "the end of welfare as we know it" as President Clinton claimed. Friday is immersed in that world.
Great analysis of this classic movie from the work perspective.
Damn it's been ages since I've seen it (probably back in high school??) But it's one of those classic Black films you watch for a bit of fun and nostalgia.
I'm glad you touched on Ice Cube's vision for the film. Back then (and even now) Black hood movies are known for violence and darkness.
This movie succeeded in showing a lighter side. A very welcome contrast.
