Keith S @Artlabhastings 06/13/2023 S.2 Ep.3 'Ruth Carter: Costume Design' Ruth Carter was the focus of the film and it was in fashion and because she's African American, most of the clothes she designed for films were African-American 90's style and 90's was her era. She was asked questions about the films she made clothes for, her life and what she does on a day to day basis. They asked her questions in her fashion workshop and sometimes she goes about town and shows us peoples outfits and how their outfits inspire her to make her own. She talked about old African movies and fashion and how culture is really important and how this is shown in clothes and accessories. It was pretty entertaining, but there was a lot of talking, which is okay because it is a documentary. I'm not so keen on documentaries but this one was okay. I also loved the style of the documentary. The documentary was about how we can tell someone's personality through their clothing. The film was mainly about black culture and showing culture through clothing, like using an African flag as a necklace for example. It was also about how people react and treat black people in movies and in life and how we react to clothing from other cultures. Ruth Carter said we should wear clothes that make us feel like ourselves, comfortable and confident. In 2019 Ruth made history by becoming the first African-American to win the Oscar for the best costume design for her work in "Black Panther". I liked when they were talking about old iconic African-American movies and culture and what they wore in the 90's era when they started baggy clothing trends and Zoot Suits. I found it interesting when Ruth was saying she looks and observes people on the street (their clothing, how old their clothing is or how new and luxurious). She gets her ideas for clothing from these people. Carter said "It's like an artist with a painting, it's never finished". I liked this quote because whenever I make or draw something, I never feel like it's finished and I keep adding and adding to it because I'm never happy with it, so this quote seems relatable. "You have to see what you don't want sometimes to know what you do want". I also really liked this quote as well for the same reason. Review by Iona M. (aged 12 yrs.)
