Love Jones
Title: Love Jones
Thesis: This is a love story set in the world of Chicago’s middle-class black artists and professionals which is to say that it shows a world more unfamiliar to moviegoers than the far side of the moon. It is also frankly romantic and erotic and smart. This is the first movie in a while where the guy quotes Mozart and the girl tells him he’s really thinking of Shaw.
I. Introduction
A. What do you do after love at first sight? That’s the question posed in this romantic comedy-drama set in Chicago.
B. Love Jones is the debut feature for African-American writer and director Theodore Witcher; Isaiah Washington, Bill Bellamy, and Lisa Nicole Carson lead the supporting cast.
C. Darius Lovehall (Larenz Tate) is a novelist who is giving a reading at the Sanctuary, an upscale club presenting jazz and poetry to a bohemian clientele. Shortly before his set, he meets Nina Mosley (Nia Long), a woman who is a gifted photographer, despite the fact that she just lost her job. Some of the main ideas of the Movie are listed below:
· It is a love story because it encompasses what many relationships endure.
· Effective Communication is the key to a successful relationship.
· Our Relationship should be about more than just a physical one.
II. Define your ship!
A. If the relationship is going to last, then it must be something more than sex. “What do you have besides it?” is the question to be asked.
1. It’s rarely ‘just sex’
2. The relationship between Darius and Nina proceeds, but not smoothly. Is it just a sex thing?
B. There’s a thin line between stalking and persistence
1. People who push past and disregard the boundaries we set are not persistent.
2. A mutual attraction is sparked
C. Leave the games to the kids
1. Don’t wait until it’s too late to discover that this is the person that you can’t live without.
2. Relationships can make mistakes and encounter conflicts.
III. Synopsis
Love Jones is a love story set in the world of Chicago’s middle-class black artists and professionals. This shows a world more unfamiliar to moviegoers than the far side of the moon. It is also frankly romantic and erotic and smart. This is the first movie in a while where the guy quotes Mozart, and the girl tells him he’s really thinking of Shaw.
IV. Conclusion
A. Life is too short and if we are lucky, we may get one or two people in our life that we will love for the rest of your life.
B. Relationships take work, it’s giving and taking while simultaneously giving and taking.
C. Love Jones should remain just a film and not an example of the love we want to see in our lives.
