COMMENTS & FEEDBACK WELCOME. ENJOY...

"BLACK SNAKE" 1973"BLACK SNAKE" is an ill 1973 film about the slaves, of The Blackmoor Plantation, revolting against their sadistic master. After a week filled with controversial comments about Black People possibly being better off still in Slavery & other comments that make us appear less than human in the eyes of the rich, I thought this movie to be a timely choice. The film was written, produced & directed by Russ Meyer; and was undoubtedly an influence on Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained." Filmed in Barbados; but set in the 1800's British West Indies, the film follows a spoiled & psychotic Slave Plantation owner Lady Susan. Lady Susan dominates & exploits every man on the island mentally, sexually, and emotionally like it's all a game. Black or White, Slave, Aristocrat, or laborer, it didn't matter. Lady Susan treated all badly-even after sex. Of course all good things must eventually come to an end. And after an especially savage murder of the son of the plantation's main Uncle-Tom Preacher, Lady Susan & all under her employment would catch a wrath of Biblical Proportions... Alternate titles for the film include "Slaves," & "Sweet Suzy." One very notable cast member from "Black Snake" would be David Prowse-the original "DARTH VADER." Yep. He plays the role of Jonathan Walker. The film was considered a financial failure for Russ Meyer, who was well known for his many cult classic films. Perhaps the people just weren't ready for a film like this. Hell, THEY CLEARLY STILL AREN'T. COMMENTS & FEEDBACK WELCOME. ENJOY...
