Instructions:
Consider the way Richard Pryor turns entertainment into education. As we’ll see, Pryor’s comedic technique was self-effacement as self-affirmation, and affirmation as education. You can see the way he makes this change when he talks about his trip Ghana (a stand-in for Africa). Write a few sentences on the impact of going Africa had on Richard Pryor’s comedy.
Remember to include & base the paper on:
-How does the film depict the Black Power Movement?
-Describe when the film falls in the history of Black Power.
-Is the film’s depiction of this period accurate; that is, is the depiction historically correct or incorrect?
-What are the symbols and visual cues indicating Black Power? Is the depiction of Black Power accurate? How are black people depicted in this film? How are other people and/or LGBTQ persons portrayed?
-Talk about the mechanics of the film — plot, acting, cinematography. What were your impressions? Was this film poorly made? How was the acting?
-How do the readings (attached) illuminate/explain/expand the film? You must quote or cite the reading.
-What lesson is the film teaching?
Choose some of the following as extra discussion in the paper:
Why, do you think, is he dressed in a red suit with gold shoes?
How is Pryor different from George Carlin? George Carlin made fun of institutions and regulations. He had a strong libertarian streak, but not politically speaking. He advocated social liberalism in his comedy. What kinds of political ideologies did Pryor espouse?
What feeds his humor depression, addition, success, pain?
Consider this quote by Rollo May, existential psychologist: Depression is the inability to construct a vision of the future for yourself.
Apply this to Pryor. Does he have a future for himself? Is he hopeful?
In Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip, he renounces the use of the word nigger, because its a word that describes our own wretchedness. Is he right? Are there other uses for the word?
Single-spaced, 3-4 pages. Times New Roman, Usual 1-inch margins.
