Food=Culture

I was very excited to be able to watch both of these movies. I am always glad to watch a movie that has a strong black cast. It’s a bonus to be able to watch the movie as an assignment for one of my classes. Both films were really good films, but of the two I would rather watch soul food. There’s no underlying reason for this I just personally prefer so food over once upon a time we were colored. Both phones do a very great job at showing culture through food. Both films utilize very cultural food choices which allows the food to express culture itself. One way so food does this is when the mother talks about how it’s a good thing for your lover to Cook your favorite dessert for you which was sweet potato pie. And once upon a time we were color the culture was shown through the actual making of the food. Through those rough times people were brought together through food and I just thought that was a beautiful thing because that’s really how it is in the real world. They use many different cultural foods such as sweet potato pie chicken mac & cheese and even the way that they go about making the food and how they eat the food is very cultural as well. It is also interesting to see how the family members interact because the way they fight and the way they make up and gets into gather and how they love each other is a show of how their culture is express throughout the film. Overall I thought both films were done very well and I can appreciate them for what they are and what happens in each film. I get a sense and feel of like what is happening is realistic and genuine and I love that about both of these films.
