Solution
The statement that does not apply to Blaxploitation films is "Rave reviews from white critics because of the positive view of African-American life".
Here's why:
-
"Rave reviews from white critics because of the positive view of African-American life": This is not true. Blaxploitation films were often criticized by white critics for their stereotypical portrayal of African-American life, not praised for a positive view.
-
"Reviving traditionally "white" genres with characters of color": This is true. Blaxploitation films often took genres that were traditionally dominated by white characters, such as action, crime, and horror, and filled them with characters of color.
-
"Occasional political commentary and expression of ethnic identity": This is true. Many Blaxploitation films contained political commentary and were a means of expressing ethnic identity.
-
"Catering to urban audiences": This is true. Blaxploitation films were primarily targeted at urban audiences, particularly African-Americans living in cities.
