TRULY Sir. It opened me to Afrikan Spirituality from the TWO TINY references to Orisha & Santeria, Voudoun, & Yoruba spirituality, and it opened MANY to that Spiritual Science, and basically, we are a people who are GRADUALLY coming HOME spiritually. And IF you don't know who Yemaya is, if you're not aware about the HISTORICAL significance of Santeria, Voudoun, or Yoruba Spiritual Science or spirituality if you're more comfortable WITH that, I HIGHLY suggest that you just try out our system of Divination, because it is a system of finding out about yourself and Olodumare (or GOD) himself, & trust me, it will be a LIFE CHANGING experience for you which will completely erase ALL fear of God, ANY fears you may have about "the enemy" or Satan, WHY? Because there IS no Satan outside of the evil one of you or Mankind or sections of mankind possess. Being that there is no Satan, there is no hell after death, Because SCIENTIFICALLY speaking, when you die, you're a corpse that feels NOTHING. So what about Afterlife? What about heaven for those of us who believe in God? Well, in IFA or the Yoruban Spiritual Science we believe in REINCARNATION into your descendants blood, there are PAST LIVES and we are reincarnated into FUTURE LIVES, the lives of our progeny. But I still am learning, so I have MUCH to study before masking myself as an expert on IFA so... carry on, & do the knowledge on Orisha like Yemaya. You will learn instead of FEARING God, you'll simply love & respect him even further than you did when you were practicing more popular religions which don't need to be named.

Jason Byrd...because it was not only the soundtrack of our day...it played our lives out on screen, in roles we had yet to experience until they showed us... Love Jones is as important to the X Generation as Hip Hop & Gospel. Its the epitome of a generation that wasn't being portrayed. It was the the flip side to Boyz in da Hood like Hip Hop is the flip to Gospel. All of these stories were our truth...and these "story tellers" told it in EXCELLENCE!

Did I point out that they considered Jada Pinkett-Smith for the role of Nina Mosley? Thank God for Nia Long!!!

Great director. He made a classic on the first try. Wish their were more movies like this. Black 90's movies just had an authentic feel.

Lorenez Tate looks EXACTLY the same. These are all some beautiful people 😀😍

This is one of my favorite movies. I loved that Black Love was represented in such a beautiful and loving way...It is a classic in my opinion. xoxo

You cannot teach, direct or hope to create chemistry. It's either there or it isn't and Larenz and Nina had it and even in this reunion it's still oozes out of both of them. I've seen a film called "it Happened One Night" with Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert made in 1934 and it never gets old and I feel the exact same way about Love Jones.

Jada Pinkett-Smith actually "competed" for the role of Nina Mosley...And got her ass waxed by Nia Long in the audition/screen test. They made the right call.

My favorite love story! I’ve seen it so many times and it still gets my heart every time. Definitely iconic. Still crushing on Lorenz - want to see him in more movies. So underrated as an actor.

This movie is a Classic!.. Still watching in 2022!

Best romantic film of all time!

My favorite movie ever... I love ya'll

It's another video on KZread that says jada pinkett suppose to play Nina, but I'm glad she didn't cause she probably wouldn't of played it better then Nia Long sorry jada.

The best classic movie ever I need some love like this

This Film Didn't Do Well When It First Came Out. A lot of people didn't go see it and support. This could have been the film to get Nia And Larenz an Oscar but the lack of support on this project is why this movie fail to reach higher success. I actually remember this Film when I was younger but I remember being in second grade and Brown Sugar was out. Love Jones Is being Honored but it didn't get enough recognition it deserve.....

Saw on the big screen in NY. Loved it.

Black dont crack

You better tell the truth Nia. My favorite movie of all time ❤❤

Such a classic movie. Nia is right, it was before it's time. The only thing I wish they had done differently is change the parts where Darius and Nia use fowl language with each other. And my goodness, Laurenz Tate is such a good-looking man! He should have made the cover of People Magazine's sexiest man alive. Bill Bellamy is also a very handsome man!

7:08 Nia relates to the character Nina the most of all her roles

A Classic!
