This is definitely one weird movie, to understand,, taking place in Greenwich Village on the east side of Manhattan, in the 70's , it starts off with a guy trying to make a small budget porno, using nothing but a telescope, and a cheap camera. then the movie starts to go in a different direction. It goes into black power, and what it's like to be black in New York. then towards the end the movie goes yet in a different direction towards vigilanteism. this movie is not for the faint of heart or youngsters, sometimes in places this movie is very hard to watch specially the beginning,, it takes you into the mind of a Vietnam Vet, who comes back to Manhattan and rents out a cheap apartment, but the movie also grips you and doesn't want to let you go in the middle , where the have the Baby Be Black segment,, which is also hard to watch, but very interesting , nonetheless,, this was very early Deniro, when he was really young.. overall it was okay,, takes sometime to get use to.
