I was moved to see this story, which began 39 years ago as a narrative about a white underdog going up against a cocky black overlord, pass into the hands of a breathtakingly
talented black director and an
equally talented black star (and, by the way, a black co-writer, and women filling the roles of DP,
editor, production designer, and costume designer), and honor the original narrative while turning it inside out.
And at Legal Blog Watch, I am
equally honored to work with Carolyn Elefant and the top - notch and
talented editors and production staff at Law.com.
