I watched Graffiti Bridge last night, and, ok, as a "mainstream" movie, whatever, but as deeply personal allegory dealing with a borader term/struggle (i.e. "Divided Soul") that came to be associated with Marvin Gaye but which goes further back and further ahead more than the mainstream either wants or, probably, needs, to know, I found it to be for the most part riveting. The denouement was a little weak, but everything leading up to then, strong.
I see where most reviews think the story line is about Morris & Prince competing for the same girl and for ownership of a club. Hahaha, yeah, right.
