    • Abstract:
      The article presents information on several motion pictures. "Heart Condition," by James Parriott; "Men Don't Leave," by Paul Brickman; "Time of the Gypsies," by Emir Kusturica; and "Black rain," by Michael Douglas. Instead of advocating racial harmony, "Heart Condition," seems to propose that black people are so well suited to serving whites that they should continue to do so from beyond the grave. They have that superior musculature, even in their internal organs; and since by nature they're too pimplike to reform a gold-hearted hooker, their best course would be to donate their bodies to science and the white guy marry the girl. The director of the film "Men Don't Leave," made his name almost seven years ago with his only other picture, Risky Business, a movie best remembered for the scene in which actor Tom Cruise jumps around in his Fruit of the Looms playing air guitar.
