Dolemite Is My Name is not just a biography of actor, musician and comedian Rudy Ray Moore, but rather the love of American black star Eddie Murphy for one of the most daring characters of the 1970s, specifically during the Blaxploitation movement that emerged and emerged in that decade .

This movement appeared to alter the stereotype of black Americans who were either marginalized, victims or villains. The movement put them heroes of their stories, and made the evil white man in some of her films. Initially it was intended for blacks, and when Hollywood noticed the turnout, it expanded its production. Murphy always wanted to play Moore's character, but he faced funding difficulties, and there was insufficient interest from Hollywood studios, especially when Murphy starred in the early 2000s, and is no longer an attraction to the American box office.

Then the course of history changed with the entry of «Netflix» on the line of the entertainment industry, and the technology giant showed interest and interest in cooperating with the star, to make a movie of his ideas without any interference, “Netflix” funds, and Murphy makes the movie, and displays it exclusively on its platform.

Strange circumstances

Through a text written by Scott Alexander and Larry Krasowski (Books "Ed Wood" 1994 and "The People v. Larry Flint" 1996) after director deep research of the character, the director, Craig Brower, managed to make a movie that brings Los Angeles back to the 1970s. And strange circumstances occurred behind the scenes of the movie Dolmite in 1975. For Murphy, Moore's reincarnation is tantamount to returning to his roots. In the past two decades, Murphy has focused on family-oriented films. Now, as he approaches the age of 60, Murphy seems to lean toward adult films, and this film gives him the perfect opportunity to achieve characters that combine boldness and obscenity, which he routinely embraced at his beginnings.

Only fans of the "Blackplotion" wave of films remember Moore, who made six films between 1975 and 1982, before his disappearance and re-emergence in the 1990s until his death in 2008.

Types of comedy

"My name is Dolmite" tells the story of Moore re-inventing himself as a dolmite, and after a successful comedy collection, he managed to fund his classic movie, after a certain type of audience turned around. The comedy is subjective, this is agreed upon, there are those who will love Monte Python, and there are those who will find it absurd, especially those who do not understand the British comedy. The same applies to Moore. The film unreservedly reflects the reactions of people of different ethnicities, classes and genders to the comedy qualities.

For example, in a scene where we see Moore and his friends going to the cinema to watch the 1974 "Billy Wilder" first page movie, starring Walter Matthao and Jack Lemon, we see them sitting in the hall with fossilized faces, while the audience around them, mostly white, laughs at the comedy, and they say: "This movie is not funny, and it does not contain vulgar Kung Fu scenes that people like us want to watch."

Although the comedy of the movie they are watching does not reach the level of their logic, they are exiting the auditorium with an important lesson which is the power of cinema as a medium to reach their fans. I mean, if we look a little further, we will find that the late Wilder - an Austrian / American legendary movie maker from the golden Hollywood era - inspired the Dolmite movie! Question: How would Wilder feel if he knew this fact?

The movie is not comic for fans outside Moore's Lover Circle, but it is very entertaining, and can be viewed as a biographical movie or study of personal behavior. The movie contains Moore making scenes for the Dolmite movie, which is very similar to that of James Franco in the movie "The Disaster Artist" when she recovers the character of Tommy Weso, the owner of the movie "The Chamber". "Dolmite" and "The Chamber" share their being very poor, and because of that the fans came to laugh at them, and thus they became classic, and this is one of the cinema's oddities, you find a classic masterpiece movie, and you find a bad turn into a classic because of its bad quality. The turnout of the masses is the deciding factor. There is a huge difference between Moore and Weso. The first is smart and knows that he is making a funny, lucrative, bad job because of the crowd turnout. The second since he made the "room" in 2003 and until today, he is believed to be a movie genius. Moore considers himself a showman who is more popular because of his personality than his films, and Weso lives in his own bubble.

As we saw in "The Catastrophe Artist", the scenes of making "Dolmite" may be the funniest. We see real scenes from Dolmite and its second part, "The Human Hurricane", shown at the end of the movie.

Innings

Murphy surrounded himself with the cast of co-star co-cast, Keegan Michael Kee (appeared in The Catastrophe Artist) in the role of a silly screenwriter, who is thought to be writing a strong drama about social problems.

Cody named after McVeigh, who was in the role of Knight Kroller in "X Men", as a film student at the University of California, appointed as a cameraman for the film. Wesley Snipes is fantastic as De Orville Martin, co-star and director of the movie. Chris Rock and Snoop Dogg - the latter being instrumental in re-introducing Moore to audiences in the 1990s - have short, but immense, impact scenes.

This movie is for adults only and not for family. This is not Murphy, whose voice we heard in "Partner" and not the crazy professor or Dr. Doolittle. This is Murphy we knew in the Beverly Hills Cop cop trilogy 1984- 1994, or in Trading Places, Murphy we enjoyed laughing even slightly if it was obscene.

A little nostalgia

If you are a fan of "dolmite" or "blackplotion" movement in general, this is an opportunity for a little nostalgia. If not, then it is a good opportunity to examine an extinct cinematic variety from a bygone era. Moore was a very ambitious character whose dreams were narrowed to him, and it is thus that Murphy recounts him with a powerful performance of a character who deserves to be told in her film.

Chris Rock and Snoop Dogg look short, but big action.
