The Black Candle review

My next movie review revolves around a documentary called the Black Candle. For the most part, the documentary revolved around the Holiday of Kwanzaa, from how it was first created to how it became what it is today.

I found the film to very interesting in a lot of ways. Although it was cool to know all the meanings of Kwanzaa and what each of the days mean, it wasn't the thing that interest me the most. If I wanted to know all the things about the meaning of the holiday, I could simply read an article on the internet. What I liked the most is that everyone of the individuals that talked during the documentary had their own particular feelings on the matter. I liked that a lot since not everybody had the same feelings about Kwanzaa than everyone else. It allowed me to see the holiday from other people's point of view, which to me is extremely helpful.

Another thing that I liked about the Black Candle is that it taught me that not a lot people really know about Kwanzaa. Although they may know some of the things about the holiday, like how it's near Christmas, that's about all they know. I'll even admit that I don't much about it either, mostly because I don't celebrate the holiday. The documentary, in a way, opened my eyes to the fact that Kwanzaa, despite not being as well known or celebrated like the other holidays, is still very important and that everyone African American, at least needs to have a better understanding of it.

In conclusion, I think the Black Candle was a good documentary, one that should be watched during the holiday season. I can say for sure that if you do watch it, you'll understand what I've been trying to say here.
