Coming to America

1988John Landis

4.6/5

Immersed in luxury and riches, courteous Prince Akeem, the refined heir apparent to Africa's prosperous kingdom of Zamunda, summons up the courage to reject an arranged marriage proposal on his twenty-first birthday. As a result, bent on finding true love, the young blue blood finds himself in the strange urban jungle of New York City's Queens. Now, to mask his regal descent, Akeem, and his trusted valet, Semmi, have to pose as humble exchange students, doing their best to mingle with their neighbours. But, more than anything in the world, the noble bachelor yearns to be loved for who he is, and not for his title. Is Prince Akeem destined to find his soulmate in America's bustling Big Apple?

Celebration of colour:Love for melanated royalty

I always have and always will feel and had a kindred love for brothers and sisters of a richer hue,from the never ending harlem renaissance to the works of Schhomburg and Jones to the kids out in Decatur and the suited up FOI selling bean pies for brother Farrakhan.from griots to presidents and ghettos to high rise apartments this is not my experiences just my observations not my place to understand and sympathize but to empathise with a class/group/culture/tradition/and history most fluid and highly regarded by myself and others. Not my life to live but I love who I love and I am a part of this story and an objective observer as well as a student and lover.
