You Raiders fan? Oakland’s city lifestyle? Wanna roam through its streets and its everyday people? If the answer is ‘yes’, watch it! If the answer is ‘no’, still watch it!
Cinematically… Director Carlos López Estrada, editor Gabriel Fleming, and writers/producers/actors Rafael Casal and Daveed Diggs sat down and said: “Let’s cut the shit”! Literally and metaphorically. Not one shot is there for no reason. No line is there for no reason. No rap song sang is there for no reason. Anything that could be of no reason has been cut!
And then there is real life… Films like Blindspotting are the reason for filming. They remain true to their genres when, in times of relentless crime, they become the reason to laugh and become the reason to cry. And they will remain the reason, as long as they remind us that be it black, white, brown, yellow or any other colour, all of us are trying to find our place in this world of labels, struggling with who we are, who we want to be, and who society drives us to be.
