Killer of Sheep

Charles Burnett's debut - Killer of Sheep (1979)

What makes a man 'A Man' ? Is it him or his job?
 



Stan's big heart is only filled with sadness and drenched with weakness as he watches his wife and children grow in a ghetto. His honest money from the slaughterhouse does make ends meet - a mere survival.  Burnett's short (Horse) is very spiritual addition.  His style is filled with emotional images with an ideal mix of sound.
