Welcome II the Terrordome (1995)
interesting take on women
4 October 2004 - 11 out of 15 users found this review helpful.
One should not read the film as a simplistic endorsement of violence. The film presents an interesting take on womanhood, making two mothers (Anjela and
Jodie) the centerpiece of the movie, and pointing out how violence damages
both women and leaves both alone at the end. However, the film does
represent Onwurah's frustration, anger, and apparent feeling that reasonable
options and immigrant dreams are impossible. It's interesting to examine this film along with Onwurah's own meditations about her childhood (Coffee Colored Children) and her white mother's sexuality (The Body Beautiful). Onwurah's
most recent work, Hang Time, also explores the lack of options available to the urban poor.
