Movie Review. Live and Let Die. 1970s Bond movie with Roger Moore.
a Bond Blaxploitation movie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaxploitation
I like how Black Americans* ( insert latest phrase ) are masters of their own lives, they make choices
But some of the racist and bigoted depictions of people made me gasp.
Just had to remind myself that this is pulp fiction/men's sex adventure genre, it's not high art.
The motor boat chase was really excellent and Bond was a good detective, he solved the case and also kinda saved the girl.
I don't care what Paul McCartney said, the song is lame ...lol. Maybe his voice is too sweet.
