I'm going to try and make this as quick as possible since I don't have that much to say about this film. As I already stated in previous reviews, I'm not a big fan of documentaries, especially of ones that tell you the same thing that other documentaries talk about. To me personally, it feels very repetitive and it really begins to get on my nerves. Now, that's not to say that subject isn't important, because it is. It's just that once I hear one documentary about one topic, I can pretty much guarantee that over 50% of what I heard will be said in another documentary of the same subject.
It's for that reason why I wasn't a pretty big fan of Classified X, which is a documentary by Mark Daniels that talks about the history of black people in cinema. Earlier, I did a review on the movie Ethic Notions which covered the same topics as this film, only with different people talking. No offense, but I'm not going to get anything different just because someone else is talking about it. In the end, I still get the same information. As a result, I don't have too much to say about Classified X and I only recommend it to those who don't know about the struggle black people went through when they were being protrayed in either TV or in plays.
