Colorz of Rage

Summary: SERIOUS DRAMA
Review: As a film critic, I have to tell you that Colorz Of Rage is an inspirational film that speaks of the seemingly never changing plague known as racism. I was asked to watch this film by one of my students at a middle school I teach at. She was literally crying about an interracial relationship she is involved in. In Colorz Of Rage, Dale Resteghini tackles the subject with a true story told with complete passion and honesty and challenges us as a people to recognize what not has the white man does for us lately but what have we done for ourselves. He points blame at no one but lets us point it at ourselves. Racism on all levels is an atrocity and should not ever be tolerated. I believe that his abitlity to tell such a touchy subject with an array of complicated characters and shooting in several cities was worthy of the Grand Jury Best Film at Sundance award, an award that it did not receive but should have. If you look at the films that competed in 1999 none have gone on to accomplish what Colorz Of Rage has both from a financial stand point or career stand pointr for the director.

Summary: Truth in film!
Review: Bottom line is that this film written, produced and directed by Dale Resteghini which by the way was his first film, speaks the truth about today's race relations. Black and white people get along better but the issues that divided us 100 years ago still divide us today...so this film asks the question why? Why is it that two people from two different cultures who fall in love have to be subjected by other peoples issues and ignorance. This is a compelling film worthy of serious converstaion and I suppose that 50 years from now when race relations are still divied by the same issues of today that this film will be a place to point to for retrospective thought. I'd like to thank the people that made this film happen despite it's indie film circumstances, the film is truly beautiful and amazing done with a style and passion that most studio films lack.

Summary: Impressive Debut
Review: I found this film after doing some research on Urban films with a focus on racial prejudice and have to admit was not expecting to see a "Real" story unfold before my eyes. Knowing that a few rappers such as Redman was cast in the film, I expected to see a simple minded exploitive stereo-typical rapper film. Instead rather I was impressed to see genuine heart and soul being displayed both in the film and in the music. This film is one o those rare gems that people will discover years from now. I'm glad to be in on it now. Much love to all mankind.

Summary: Fantastic First Film
Review: The bottom line here is this is an amazing film debut. Dale Resteghini has put forth the effort to qualify him to placed in the hierchy of first time filmmakers such as Spike Lee, Francis Ford Coppola, Steve Soderberg and Ed Burns. This is not an exploitive video director trying to be a feature film director turn in any form. Well done young man!

Summary: 5 STAR DRAMA
Review: This film is a gem that has only been seen by those in the festival circuits and frequent customers of the specialty urban shelves of Block Buster and Hollywood Video stores. It stars REDMAN in his acting debut as well as vet action star RON VAN CLIEF and other notables such as BROADWAY STAR BILLY PORTER and R&B DIVA DELUX CERYL PEPSII RILEY just to name a few. Despite it's indie styled camera work, the film flows with ease and oozes with potential in terms of it's incredible soundtrack and underscore. This fine film belongs in your collection.
