MIM Movie Review

This is an archive of the former website of the Maoist Internationalist Movement, which was run by the now defunct Maoist Internationalist Party - Amerika. The MIM now consists of many independent cells, many of which have their own indendendent organs both online and off. MIM(Prisons) serves these documents as a service to and reference for the anti-imperialist movement worldwide.

   Harlem Nights (1989)

   Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor and Redd Fox make a perfect
   fictional representation of the interests of the Black national
   bourgeoisie. Upstart Black national bourgeoisie fights established
   white bourgeoisie of organized crime and wins decisively.  The Black
   national bourgeoisie distinguishes itself from the comprador
   bourgeoisie by its independence. That is the strength of the movie,
   which shows both the restrictions that the Black national bourgeoisie
   chafes under and its independence. As with any national bourgeois
   leadership, though, the proletariat here ultimately gets short shrift.
