User Review
No sooner had the catchy song “Greetings, greetings, greetings...” from the film of the same name echoed in my head than I was already delving into Brian De Palma’s early works. *Hi, Mom!* is a sort of sequel to the 1968 film *Greetings*.
John Rubin returns from the army. The guy is trying to find his place in life: he rents a cheap apartment, looks for easy money and fame. John tries his hand at filmmaking, but his porn project fails. No matter—John Rubin doesn’t give up that easily. He joins the cast of the controversial project ‘Be Black, Baby,’ which serves as a form of entertainment for America’s white population.
The film is, first and foremost, interesting for its characters.
In the role of John Rubin, Robert De Niro, in my opinion, proves himself to be a promising young actor. It is De Palma who opens the door to Hollywood for him.
Brian De Palma is a director who made a name for himself with films such as ‘Scarface’, ‘The Untouchables’, ‘Carlito's Way’, and others. Here, De Palma ventures into a somewhat different genre. ‘Hi, Mom!’ is a perfect example of independent social cinema from the early 1970s. The film addresses the challenges of war veterans’ reintegration into civilian life and interracial relations. Much of the film consists of black-and-white documentary footage of the “Stay Black, Baby” event.
'Hi, Mom!' masterfully captures the atmosphere of that era, which is what makes it remarkable. The film helps viewers understand racial relations in the U.S. during the 1960s and 1970s.
It’s a film for a specific audience; you might not like it, but it will stay with you for a long time.
