Blaxploitation

Black films made in the 70's set a different tone and was influence by a different generation of black culture. Musically the in the 70's the films were influence by mainly by Funk and the films from the late 80's and early 90's were influenced by the emergence of hip-hop culture. The films in the 80's and 90's were a bit more realistic as well although that comes with the territory of time and evolution.

There are some similarities however. Black men are viewed as aggressive, and sexually driven throughout all the blaxploitation films. There are also similar attempts to reshape the way the black male and female are viewed within society. Women are also disrespected often throughout many of the films although there are many roles where they have scenes to assert dominance.
