DOLEMITE IS MY NAME W/ LETTER FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)
"Dolemite Is My Name" is a biographical comedy film directed by Craig Brewer, released in 2019. The film is based on the life of Rudy Ray Moore, a stand-up comedian, actor, and filmmaker who became a cult icon in the 1970s for his character Dolemite, a bawdy and larger-than-life figure. The film features the incredible talent of Eddie Murphy as Rudy Ray Moore, alongside a robust supporting cast, including Keegan-Michael Key, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Mike Epps, and Wesley Snipes.
The narrative of "Dolemite Is My Name" explores not only the comedic aspects of Rudy Ray Moore's career but also the struggles and challenges he faced as an African American artist in a predominantly white industry. It delves deep into his determination to pursue his passion for comedy and film, even against daunting odds. The film showcases the DIY spirit of the era, highlighting how Moore used his creativity and charisma to produce low-budget films, which ultimately led to cultural significance.
The film is peppered with references to the era of blaxploitation, a genre that emerged in the early 1970s, characterized by its portrayal of African American characters and themes. Films of this genre, including Moore's "Dolemite", often featured exaggerated characters and plotlines yet resonated with audiences seeking representation. This film pays homage to that genre, while simultaneously critiquing it and showing how it has shaped African American cinema.
Furthermore, the production of "Dolemite Is My Name" itself is a testament to the struggles of independent filmmaking. It provides an inside look into the creative processes involved in making a movie without the backing of a major studio. The film intricately details:
The extensive preparations Moore undertook to develop the Dolemite character, including writing, rehearsing, and securing a cast.
The challenges of financing and producing the films with limited resources and access to traditional distribution channels.
The camaraderie and the relationships that were built among Moore and his fellow performers, emphasizing the community aspect of indie filmmaking.
The backdrop of the 1970s and how the cultural and societal norms of that time impacted the themes of Moore's work.
"Dolemite Is My Name" not only serves as a recounting of Rudy Ray Moore's journey but also invites audiences to reflect on important societal issues, such as race, representation, and the power of art to create change. Additionally, it examines the transformative impact Moore had on African American culture and beyond, leaving behind a legacy that continues to influence modern filmmakers and comedians.
The film has received critical acclaim for its writing, direction, and, in particular, Eddie Murphy's performance, which many consider one of the best of his career. It bridges comedy with poignant storytelling, demonstrating the resilience of an artist who's not afraid to be unapologetically himself. Ultimately, *"Dolemite Is My Name"* stands as a significant tribute to a charismatic figure who broke barriers and redefined entertainment in many ways.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
