Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 3403714, member: 2504"] Just watched "Last Black Man in San Francisco", which is about a man living in San Francisco who is obsessed with the house in that city where he spent his childhood years, to the extent that he makes attempts to maintain the property even though no one in his family has owned the house for many years. What the movie really centers on is how the city is changing fast, the gentrification that is taking place there, and the effect that it has on people who love how San Francisco used to be. That being said, there is not really all that much plot to this movie, it is more of a vibe and a feel that exists in the city in this film. In terms of action, not much really happens. This movie got very good reviews, and it held my interest. That being said, while I feel positive that I saw it, I can't really recommend this film to most people, except possibly to those living in San Francisco who have experienced what is going on. That would include my older brother who lives in San Francisco, who I saw at Christmas at my Dad's house in Pennsylvania. My brother spent some time talking about how San Francisco is changing, and not necessarily for the better. [/QUOTE]
