Another film that I have seen before but one of you recommended that I watch it.. so I decided to watch it again. Amazing film about the Black cowboy culture in Philadelphia. But a deeper story between a father and his estranged son trying to find their way back to a good relationship.
Okay, so I watched concrete cowboys a while back, and honestly didn’t love the movie, but I loved Caleb McLaughlin in is, and I told my mom I wished he got more opportunities to show his true acting abilities.
This is not what I meant, this isn’t what I wanted. I did not need to ugly sob and almost hyperventilate as he delivered an Emmy deserving performance. I did not need him trying to calm max down as she died in his arms with El watching from a pizza freezer. And I sure as hell did not need to hear him begged for Erica’s help.
Concrete Cowboy (2020) is genuinely the best horse kid movie ever made. All the classic tropes are there. But it's through a Black lens showing modern Black Philadelphia horse culture.
The stable is a real stable and many of the actors are from that stable, some telling their real stories. It's about the kids they keep going for in the face of gentrification and racist city pressure.
To hold onto hope and something bigger than themselves. And a legacy white people have tried so hard to erase but couldn't.
Where The Harder They Fall (2021) takes it's characters from Black cowboys of the old West and tells a fictional tale with them, Concrete Cowboy takes a look at their descendents and how many off those battles are still being fought.
The characters have so much depth. The opening conflict is emotionally gutting and you can feel our young protagonist's life crumbling and where he's coming from. The dad truely feels like an absentee hardass that isn't a safe haven. But we get to see them change each other through the lessons of horses.
I found the end very powerful and how the fiction came to a close, but the real battle was still being fought. Viewers have the power to change the outcome through their support and determine what happens to these people if they've come to care about them.
Going down my Black cowboy/Black country playlist while I do some editing. 2024 is the year of production and moving forward. Revising a book while its out on submission is a long road y'all. I will prevail. Until then I will be in the rabbit hole enjoying Black country folks that share creole and geechee roots.
