Despite what people may think of R. Kelly, I dig and I love his music. I love the stories he tells with his music. Also from the U Saved Me album it is a whole story on how if you beleive… God can work miracles. This Trapped in the closet was another show of his talent in writing and directing short stories. It was very amusing. A nice peice of entertainment. Good singing and nice wardrobe. I loved that white suit!

Not since the days of Jean-Luc Godard has history seen such a brilliant filmmaker as Robert Sylvester Kelly. When taken at face value one might mistake this movie for a cheap poorly written narrative about the life of mindless thug. In reality Kelly has created one of the world’s greatest satires. The character Bridget and her affair with a little person named “Big Man” is clearly a metaphor for the Bush Administration’s mishandling of the Iraq war, and mismanagement of government funding. There are so many hidden icons, and underlying themes that one must watch this movie several times before appreciating its cinematic value. I am very satisfied with Kelly’s work and look forward to the sequel which is rumored to be directed by James Cameron.

Words fail to capture the greatness that is Trapped In The Closet. Its a 90-minute r&b video soap opera. Pimp Luscius, stop your pimpin’ ways!
