Once Upon an Egg

One day, everything changes when a cleaning crew washes away their nest — and with it, their only egg. Heartbroken, they set off in search of a new home and a renewed sense of purpose. Along the way, they befriend a young ring-necked parakeet named Brutti and eventually find an abandoned egg. While caring for the egg and for each other, they learn that only by adapting to the changing city can they build a new life — and a family — of their own.

"She’s Gotta Have It” was Ahead of the Curve in Portrayal of Female Sexuality
In Spike Lee’s She’s Gotta Have It (1986), we follow the love life of powerful female protagonist Nola Darling (Tracy Camilla Johns) and explore the relationship dynamics she has with her partners. She sees three men simultaneously: Greer Childs, (John Canada Terrell) Mars Blackmon (Spike Lee), and Jamie Overstreet (Tommy Redmond Hicks). Though an 80’s film, She’s Gotta Have It is surprisingly progressive with its themes of female sexuality, although at some points in the film it is handled clumsily. Overall Nola is an incredibly compelling character especially for modern women, as we as a society acknowledge female sensuality more and more without the negative stigma.
