In 1988, Eddie Murphy and director John Landis combined forces to create "Coming to America," a romantic comedy that went on to become an emblematic staple of 80s cinema. On the surface, it's a story about a prince from a fictional African country who travels to America in search of true love. But as we delve deeper, it reveals a myriad of layers that blend humour, cultural commentary, and romance in a unique blend that stands the test of time.The movie embarks on the journey of Prince Akeem of Zamunda (Eddie Murphy), who, against the backdrop of opulence and traditionalism, wishes to find love that transcends his royal status. Rejecting the arranged marriage set up by his parents, he and his confidante, Semmi (Arsenio Hall), decide to go to America—specifically, Queens, New York—to find Akeem's queen.This simple yet intriguing premise serves as a foundation for the exploration of various thematic undercurrents. "Coming to America" subtly underscores the tension between tradition and individualism. While Akeem's motivations are romantic, his journey is also an act of rebellion against Zamundan royal customs. There's a message of self-determination and autonomy, underscored by his desire to be "liked for who he is" rather than his princely status.One of the film's most notable achievements is its rich character tapestry. Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall, through their multiple roles, showcase an astonishing comedic range. From the hilarious barbershop patrons to the charismatic Reverend Brown and the unforgettable Sexual Chocolate band, these multifaceted roles add depth and vibrancy to the story.However, it's Murphy's portrayal of Prince Akeem that truly stands out. He masterfully captures the essence of a young man torn between duty and desire, seamlessly blending innocence, determination, and humour. Likewise, Arsenio Hall as Semmi wonderfully complements Akeem, offering both comedic relief and a contrasting perspective on their American adventure.Supporting characters, from Lisa McDowell (Shari Headley) to her father Cleo (John Amos) and the hilarious antagonist Darryl (Eriq La Salle), provide the cultural backdrop against which Akeem's journey unfolds. Their interactions with the prince not only contribute to the movie's comedic moments but also its emotional depth, presenting a nuanced portrayal of urban America in the 1980s.Beyond its romantic and comedic plotline, "Coming to America" offers an exploration of cultural contrasts. The lavish and exaggerated depiction of African royalty against the backdrop of urban Queens provides ample ground for both humour and reflection. The film plays with stereotypes, sometimes reinforcing them but often subverting them for comedic effect. One might argue that the film occasionally walks a fine line between genuine cultural appreciation and caricature. However, given the context of its release and its overall intentions, it largely manages to stay on the right side of this divide.The film also provides an interesting examination of the American Dream from an outsider's perspective. Through Akeem's eyes, America is portrayed as a land of opportunity, equality, and potential—a place where even a prince can start from the bottom.The film's soundtrack, peppered with hits from the era, adds to the movie's charm. From the catchy "Soul Glo" jingle to the memorable dance sequence set to "The Greatest Love of All," the music plays an integral role in creating the film's vibrant atmosphere.Cinematographically, "Coming to America" is a visual treat. The stark contrast between the extravagant palaces of Zamunda and the bustling streets of Queens is captured beautifully, helping to further the narrative and the humour."Coming to America" is undoubtedly a product of its time, yet its core messages and humour allow it to transcend its era. While some elements might seem outdated by contemporary standards, the film remains a testament to Eddie Murphy's brilliance and the universality of its themes.At its heart, it's a tale about finding one's place in the world, breaking free from societal constraints, and pursuing genuine love. Combine that with impeccable comedic timing, memorable characters, and a catchy soundtrack, and it's no wonder "Coming to America" remains an enduring classic.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcast If you are looking to start a podcast and want a host or get guests to pipe in remotely, look no further than Riverside.fmClick the link below https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=matthew

Last year, I had the opportunity to sit with some of the most amazing chefs and hospitality professionals at IGF's @internationalgourmetfoods Shift Drink-the industry's first after-hours food show. I'll be releasing those interviews over the next few months. IGF took the show to Richmond, Virginia Beach, Charlotte and Atlanta. Their territory runs from Baltimore, Maryland on down to Birmingham, Alabama. This year I'll share quite a bit of insight on choosing vendors and partners to serve your food business and I can tell you without a doubt that IGF is the gold standard. Service and ingredients-no one does what they do as well as they do it. This episode you'll hear from Chef David Hannah @regularchef of Virginia Beach. Chef David is talented, humble and very wise. You will also hear from his "wifeager", Mrs. Hannah. I think many of you will find it cool to hear how that dynamic plays out in the interviews especially the humble and quiet ones. I was inspired by his story and his vision. Chef hosted a super dope pop-up last year that was inspired by McDowells, the restaurant in Coming To America the movie. How cool is that? There's more, so check him out and listen to the show. 2 questions: What city should IGF @internationalgourmetfoods hold its next Shift Drink?

Telecinco en España fue un impulsor decisivo para ciertos títulos como El Príncipe de Zamunda y algún día alguien debería de reconocérselo de la manera que se merecen, otros clásicos ochentenos como Golpe en la pequeña China también tuvieron esa continuidad en la parrilla de programación a lo largo del tiempo que las situaba entre nuestras cintas familiares y sobretodo en la excusa ideal para pasar una buena tarde del Sábado o Domingo. Eddie Murphy ya nos había conquistado anteriormente con Superdetective en Hollywood, pero con esta encontramos esa capacidad camaleónica para encarnar múltiples personajes diferentes que en adelante explotaría hasta el hastío. En esta pequeña joya nos presentan la típica fábula del rico que se hace pasar por pobre para demostrarnos que la felicidad se encuentra en cualquier lugar por encíma del estatus económico que se posea, aunque al final de la película ni Eddie ni su chorba renuncian a ello...que paharos. Igualmente esta es una de mis películas favoritas del chico de la sonrisa perenne y podría seguir viéndola el loop hasta el fin de los tiempo, o aunque fuera siempre que Tele 5 nos la siguiera emitiendo. Para esta ocasión nos hamos instalado en un Mcdowells para merendar entre colegas: David Webb, Champi, Miki Edge y el aquí siempre escribiente Domingo Dark Vinyl y ya de paso volver a poner nuestra cadena amiga y disfrutar nuevamente de las aventuras de nuestro autentico Principe, porque aquí en España ni Don Juan Carlos ni hostias, el nuestro se llama Akeem.
