Revisiting the theme of masculinity and the interrogative, I here trace the allusions to slavery in Get On The Bus and how it outlines, along with his treatment of Jeremiah (the film's elder), Lee's commitment to cinema as question-asking and the horizon of the unprecedented. Jeremiah's damaged life contains an ethical imperative: center identity on an expansive, strong sense of blackness. But it also opens up only possibility: his life was not one to emulate, nor is any from the past. Rather, the unprecedented questions asked in Get On The Bus ask each subject in the film (and also us as viewers) to begin again, to make relationships to self, others, and community for the first time.
