Danny Glover on "The Last Black Man in San Francisco": "We have to fight for this city"

[@cantbeatthebay4765]

So crazy to see a friend on the big screen. "You aren't allowed to HATE San Francisco until you've LOVED San Francisco." Gave me chills...

ITS A LESBIAN! The last black man in San Francisco is a lesbian who got plastic surgery and takes drugs to appear as a straight person. Do you see the irony?

[@dfa3366]

Wow. Blown away this is Jimmy Fails acting debut. He’s a.natural on the screen. The acting is top notch all around. Definitely one of the best films of 2019. Very impressive.

[@moontide3943]

This movie was so beautiful 😭😭 the characters were so well written and well acted

[@sholaarowosekila6171]

Absolutely loved this film. The concept and artistry were oddly satisfying. The shots, were beautiful. I wish the interviewers gave them time to actually answer questions as opposed to asking and answering themselves. It deserved more time

[@paulstevens6043]

ITS AN UNDERCOVER LESBIAN!!! Open your mind and eyes. She is trying to lecture us and gentrification and toxic masculinity. Can you not see this person is not a man...much a less the last black man in San Francisco. And she is part of the uppity white miluiex.

[@breannadurant3874]

Paul Stevens just enjoy the movie man. What are you talking about? He’s talking about real things POC go though in San Francisco. You wouldn’t understand tho huh?

[@paulstevens6043]

@@breannadurant3874 I've replied to this twice now. They're editing the comments. My comment is totally legitimate and they are censoring.

[@breannadurant3874]

Paul Stevens so what your saying above me is false? In that case I’m really sorry for not understanding.

[@paulstevens6043]

@@breannadurant3874 F2Ms make San Francisco an unpleasant place to be. They are behind every meat counter and work at every construction. They don't act like men...they act like they are Lebanese...which they are. Its a form of skin lightening. Let's see if this goes through.

[@halifaxx55]

I live in San Francisco, I'm so glad I watched this film. SF is our home and we fight for it.

[@HotelCalifornia360]

It was absolutely lovely. I’ve watched thus film more than 10 times. The emotion in the film. I live in San Francisco and I’m just overwhelmed with the beauty

[@pooh4025]

This is exactly what is going on in my city Nashville,Tn .

Houston too, it's everywhere man.

[@wvanderwahl]

This is exactly what HAS been going on for DECADES in thousands of cities across out country.

[@brandonsterlingon6130]

And most people want to cry and whine about it other than risk their lives to take back what's theirs!!

[@2015898]

Yea the director talks about how when he shared his story people everywhere talked about how this was happening in their city. Idk what's happening where the soul of our cities is disappearing over night

I thought it was poetic masterpiece. I myself am not a SF native however my Dad grew up in Hunter’s Point. When I’m in the city I find myself hypnotized by the beautiful old Victorian homes. I never really knew why it’s just something that interested me. I saw myself in the characters as strange as it sounds.

[@ashtonturner2862]

I look forward to seeing this film.

[@TopFlightSecurity415]

watched it last night....still cant get it out of my head

Silicon Valley led the gentrification charge

[@dahliafully]

It was far better when it was Santa Clara Valley.

[@n444t]

the repercussions of innovation 🥺

[@paulstevens6043]

This movie stars an undercover lesbian. Lesbian filmmakers and non-profit types and cyclists have ruined San Francisco just as much as tech workers. No one is forcing lesbian couples to live in The Mission.

[@JasonPuckettNY]

Fantastic film

[@jamiematthews3450]

jimmie is an icon

[@Lateef139]

This movie was a true gem.

[@DIGITALGH05T]

It's gonna happen if it hasn't already. Folks are slowly being pushed out of the "good" neighborhoods, then the lower income neighborhoods get "cleaned up" or "become safer" and the prices raise. Natives who have lived their whole life gotta move out of the city. San Francisco is not supposed to be a city only for rich people, but it's headed there and it shows that the city doesn't care for cultural diversity but rather who's got millions to spare.

[@sholaarowosekila6171]

brandon zhang it absolutely sucks I’m from London and I see it every single day. There are apparently so many schemes in place to tackle the issues of displacement so a percentage of built housing having to be social but it doesn’t take into account those who rent privately. Beyond that, the actual cultural integration does not exist so if you’re not pushed out economically, you will be culturally- it’s undesirable

[@Dual971]

There must be a part 2

Real city folks watch this film and see more

[@gregoryisom8333]

First I want to say this is an excellent film, I've watched it at least 10 times, LBMS have all the undertones or overtones of a Spike Lee style movie, this movie put me in the mind of (Red Hook Summer) I'm from Oakland as we have always been overshadowed by SF. Still, I identify with this movie 100% ... If those 150-year-old victorian style homes wall could talk would tell a magnificent story, Great Movie!

[@moviedude22]

can we please put to bed the meaningless and sterile yet highly racist government jargon of "inner city" when referring to Blacks in whatever capacity please

[@scribejay]

0:50 That's not what that scene's about, [spoilers] that scene is right after one of the local greek chorus of toughs gets killed right by Danny Glover's house. Gail, why you always gotta be finding ways to do stuff like this?

[@TwerpXNation]

Are we going to pretend that Gayle King didn't recently try to destroy a Black Man's legacy? Shame on you. Kobe Bryant was a consummate professional athlete.

[@2015898]

Don't worry everyone, it's been owned and lived in by an elderly gay couple for decades, proper San Franciscans own that house.

He never said just black people are being displaced. I live in la and see blacks and Latinos neighborhoods being gentrified as well

Previous month I was able to pull my first five figure paycheck ever!!! I've been working for this provider on the internet for 2 yrs now and I never been happier... They are paying me $95 per hour, and the most desirable thing regarding it is the fact that I am not that tech-savvy, they only required basic knowledge about internet and simple typing skill...Awesome thing about this work is that I have more time with my kids. I am able to enjoy quality time with my friends and family and look after my babies and also going on holiday break along with them very consistently. Don't miss this chance and try to react fast. Check it out, what I do... *acttoday48­.­c­o­m*

[@GS-ze3lr]

Yea, Danny Glover is an expert on everything - we must support him. I mean if a Multimillionair Actor says it it has got to be a well planned, workable and fair plan. Remember when Danny Glover went to and praised how FINALLY a country in America truly cares for its people. And just look at how Happy the people of Venezuela are now. Maybe He can also help with some financial management class to all of us that work 40 hours a week.

Well you DO need a good paying job to live there...? Aint nobody telling anyone “you can’t live here” unless you got the money. Go to college and be a doctor.

@everyone I literally started out with nothing and i’m working on my doctorate. Furthermore im a straight white male; so the odds were against me. Heck, you could be talking with a veteran in Afghanistan who took part in active combat. But hey, you got triggered assumed I was someone with no experience. so obviously i’m stupid in your eyes; not someone with different morals. You kiddos are so ignorant. No respect, no analyzing, no studying; you’re all just bark and no bite. Grow up. You all haven’t already. Go to college, and you’ll understand how easy it is to get something if you work for it. The weak minded cannot accomplish anything outstanding; like serving their country, saving lives, or receiving their education. Shame on all of you.

When your only path to owning a home in San Francisco is to become a doctor, there's a problem, don't you think?
