Tale of Cinema (2005) by Hong Sang-soo.
It is a sign of white privilege to be able to “see” blackness and black culture from a standpoint where the rich culture of opposition black people have created in resistance mark and defines us. Such a perspective enables one to ignore white supremacist domination and the hurt it inflicts via oppression, exploitation, and everyday wounds and pains. White folks who do not see black pain never really understand the complexity of black pleasure. And it is no wonder then that when they attempt to imitate the joy in living which they see as the “essence” of soul and blackness, their cultural productions may have an air of sham and falseness that may titillate and even move white audiences yet leave many black folks cold.
