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:

  1. "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.

  2. "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.

  3. "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.

  4. "Catering to urban audiences": This is true. Blaxploitation films were primarily targeted at urban audiences, particularly African-Americans living in cities.
