#MoBetterBlues (1990)

Jazz trumpeter Bleek Gilliam makes questionable decisions in his professional and romantic lives.
2.5/5⭐️

#MoBetterBlues 2/2
The wardrobe and background changing signal time and location change, but the shots and blocking remaining similar - not to mention where in the music the shots change - clearly tell us “this is the same person, all grown up.”

Denzel is so young and BEAUTIFUL in this movie, goodness. #MoBetterBlues

#MoBetterBlues 3/3
Meanwhile, Frame Right gives the idea they’ve got a little money (or like to pretend they do), likely live in a Black neighbourhood (we find out soon they do), and try to hobnob with political and famous athletes and musicians.

#MoBetterBlues 2/3
This shot gives us a life overview of two characters we don’t spend much individual time with.

Frame Left shows their dynamic and interests: similar-to-indistinguishable outfits, surrounded by books, tapping away on the computer, nattering away at each other.

It’s times like this, I like to picture what’s going on in the TCM Facebook group. <snicker> #TCMParty #MoBetterBlues

Black and white photo of Denzel Washington circa 1990 holding a trumpet in character as Bleek, at the peak of his gorgeousness, in profile

Plus it's Denzel at his peak of fineness

#TCMParty #MoBetterBlues

This look is SO 1990. #TCMParty #MoBetterBlues

I get why Bleek has no problem with women. God DAMN young Denzel. #TCMParty #MoBetterBlues

This isn't my favorite of Spike's movies, but I do love that it's such a time capsule. Everything about the club says it's 1990. The clothes, the slang, *the hair*. Plus there's a shout out to Arsenio in the first five minutes.

In case you were wondering, yes that comedy routine was extremely misogynist. #TCMParty #MoBetterBlues

#TCMParty, #MoBetterBlues. Saw this in theater. It has painful scene that I don't like to revisit. I get why its in there but it stops me from watching over and over.

Hello Denzel #TCMParty
