Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Wattstax is a 1973 film directed by Mel Stuart.It is a concert film documenting the 1972 Wattstax concert. The August 1965 Watts riots in Los Angeles had already inspired a yearly celebration, the Watts Summer Festival. Executives at Stax Records, a major label distributing black music (and a rival to Motown), came up with the idea of putting on a benefit concert to coincide with the festival.The concert was held on August 20, 1972, in the LA Coliseum. The lineup featured all of Stax's best artists, including Kim Weston, The Staples Singers, Albert King, Rufus Thomas, and Isaac Hayes, who closed the show. The film also includes performances outside of the concert: gospel trio The Emotions perform in a church and Johnnie Taylor was filmed at the Summit Club a month after Wattstax. Richard Pryor, a Stax artist, introduces the film and also does some comedy bits scattered throughout the movie. The film also includes interview segments where black people talk about the black experience in America, segments that were mostly pre-arranged with actors. Ted Lange, who soon would appear as Isaac the bartender on The Love Boat, appears as one of the interview subjects.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Big Entrance: Isaac Hayes is brought into the stadium in a motorcade, lights flashing. Jesse Jackson, the MC, announces to the crowd that if anyone penetrates the security fences around the stage, "Mr. Hayes" will leave. Then Jackson screams "DO YOU WANT TO SEE ISAAC HAYES?" | |

The Ken Burns Effect: Pans and zooms on still photos (a drawing of a slave ship, portraits of slaves, portraits of early black leaders like Frederick Douglass) during a photo montage. | |

Male Gaze: One camera shot shows a woman outside the stadium before the concert, then pans down to focus on her behind, snugly encased in yellow shorts. | |

Manipulative Editing | |
| Wattstax / int_e409de66 | comment |
Manipulative Editing: Luther Ingram did not appear in the concert. His performance was shot on a soundstage, and cut together with crowd shots to make it look as if he had been at Wattstax. | |
