The movie Barbershop has caused controversy since its Sept 13 release, controversies that had every right to surface. Some things that were said in the movie weren't right but I think were misunderstood.

a people wouldn't be able to have movies like Barbershop, Soulfood, or Brown Sugar, movies that were written by blacks and starring black actors.

In closing I believe that Barbershop was a good movie besides all of the controversial issues. I took away valuable points from the movie. For example it is good to be financially responsible when owning your own business. Also the film showed a black woman standing by a black man through hard times. The strongest point that I took away from the movie was that two individuals were able to overcome stereotypes as well as personal issue to become friends, which I believe was one of the points that were being fought upon in the Civil Rights.
