Keala - Crooklyn Blog


In this movie so far we viewed how life was for this black family of seven living in Brooklyn. We witnessed how this family lives day to day through their issues and social surrounding. This movie by Spike Lee shows a family who fights hard but also loves hard. The movie goes in depth of the marriage of a working school teacher and a struggling jazz musician trying to provide for their five kids while owning a house but also living off of food stamps trying make ends meet. This couple, played by actors Alfre Woodard and Delroy Lindo, has complications in their marriage when it comes to the fathers job and his take on raising the kids.They are separated for a while then get back together. At the end of the movie, the main character Troy (played by Zelda Harris) has to take over the role of her mother because her mother passes away of cancer. I feel like this is a movie that a lot of young people with families can relate too. I myself have a big family of seven and I know how crazy things can get in a big family. This movie is touching and so is the music that plays. I liked this movie and it made me emotional when the mom died. This movie demonstrates a true act of  responsibility, family, and love.
