(biography, drama, history)
The true life story of Ralph Waldo "Petey" Greene Jr. In the mid-to-late 1960s, in Washington, D.C., vibrant soul music and exploding social consciousness were combining to unique and powerful effect. It was the place and time for Petey to fully express himself - sometimes to outrageous effect - and "tell it like it is." With the support of his irrepressible and tempestuous girlfriend Vernell, the newly minted ex-con talks his way into an on-air radio gig. He forges a friendship and a partnership with fellow prison inmate Milo's brother Dewey Hughes. From the first wild morning on the air, Petey relies on the more straight-laced Dewey to run interference at WOL-AM, where Dewey is the program director. At the station, Petey becomes an iconic radio personality, surpassing even the established popularity of his fellow disc jockeys, Nighthawk and Sunny Jim. Combining biting humor with social commentary, Petey openly courts controversy for station owner E.G. Sonderling. Petey was determined to make not just himself but his community heard during an exciting and turbulent period in American history. As Petey's voice, humor, and spirit surge across the airwaves with the vitality of the era, listeners tune in to hear not only incredible music but also a man speaking directly to them about race and power in America like few people ever have. Through the years, Petey's "The truth just is" style — on - and off-air - would redefine both Petey and Dewey, and empower each to become the man he would most like to be.

I was not sure what to think when I started to see Talk to Me. This gave
against an interesting style, but I was not sure
amount to anything. Maybe I fear that too much depends on the black
rights issue. Immediate impressions aside, I soon found myself
immersed in the movie. I was completely inside at the time of
Martin Luther King, Jr. 's assassination. From there until the end, I felt
of the characters and enjoy the ride. It was revealed a few things about our culture that
other films are afraid to show, but not in a way that
entire film depends on it.
The acting is phenomenal, especially Don Cheadle as Petey Greene.
He does a realistic, complex, yet modest-radical-
radio talk show host. His emotions flow freely in front of the screen at the hearing.
Chiwetel Ejiofor also makes a notable appearance as Dewey Hughes, who
Greene becomes the manager. The chemistry between these two
main characters (and actors) is wonderful. The music is excellent edition
and goes a long way to help put an emotional impact on viewers.
There is a lot of equal amounts of comedy and tragedy. Toward the end,
a point of reflection is achieved by summarizing the main ideas presented
throughout the film. The plot itself has its ups and downs,
but ultimately, is satisfactory.
Talk to Me has all the attributes needed to be a great movie. His
the structure is original and successful combinations with comedy, tragedy, drama and
together. Highly recommended if you have a chance to see him.
Excellent film about Washington DC jockey Petey Greene.
Had never heard of it, but Director Kasi Lemmons made a good movie with great characters
(as a member of the audience)
was interested in finding out about it. Lemmons evokes the music, dress and style of the time
very well, and all of the cast was great - not only Don Cheadle,
But around the world, as a woman, I liked the way your girlfriend
was like a strong woman who knew her man (their strengths and weaknesses).
I recommend not only to hear a great period of music, but
to learn about someone who made a difference (at least in the lives of the people of
DC). Two thumbs up! : D
