The Josephine Baker Story
Added 12/31/2009
This movie portrayed a very interesting tale of the intersting life of this often unknown talent. The movie was so well done, I found my self crying about things I never expected to cry about in the movie. The movie took you into the emotional as well as the entertaining and exciting.

This is a wonderful movie (quality and all) that has a beautiful message attached not to spoil the movie but once you have seen this it will become very clear what life is all about. Given that this story is one that is very near and dear to me, I must say that this is a powerful movie and the information that is presented is one that will not be forgotten.

When one does a bio pic of a person one would think the essentials of said person's life would be included. Such is not the case. While Lynn Whitfield was absolutely marvelous in the title role the reality is Josephine was a Lesbian. And a homophobic one to boot. Certainly one would think that had to play a part in her life story somewhere? Her rumored affair with reknown Mexican painter Frida Kahlo was even hinted at in Selma Hayek's depiction. Again this is well worth watching...but as history...as with many bio pics it is best to read "the book" along with it.

This movie is absolutely great. Josephine Baker was not only beautiful, she had a huge heart. There is noone like her. She was an activist and a great entertainer.
