- Thread starter douche
- Start date
that's it? Wtf kinda ending was that
Word!!!! Son acts the same in everything...how the fukk he keep getting roles? Couldn't finish the Wu series cuz of that nikka
I’m confused on the time setting. Is it early 2000s, late 1990s, or present?
Not talking about the obvious flashbacks.
It looks like the 1990s with the way theyre dressed then homeboy has a Roc Nation shirt on and someone has a camera phone recording at a function.
Update: It supposed to be current but I guess East Oakland cats are into the retro look.

If this current day is supposed to be 2020 the flashbacks are to 2007. The dad to me seems like a late 30s early 40’s type dude in flashbacks. Him bumping old short and dressing how he did is understandable.
The sideshow scene is just them playing all types of bay shyt from diff eras, but they should have played some mid 2000s too short because I can see why that threw somebody off. especially if you not familiar with the the bay

That would make sense if the trial was not 13 months after him first seeing Malcolm as an adult from his studio.
these are almost all my sentiments exactlyThe cinematography and the performances (other than Jeffrey Wright's) were good, the film itself though was. The film lingered waaaaay too long on shyt that didn't mean shyt in the scheme of the movie, the story is extremely cookie cutter with no real payoff for sticking with it.
The rap subplotshyt was half-baked then a mf, the flashback scenes with his pops was nothing but exposition that could've easily been implied in the prison scenes. The whole film is caught up in trying to paint the picture of how a regular kid ends up doing life despite fighting to break the cycle but there's zero character development, the whole movie is basically one long flashback where we never actually see the main character (or any of the other characters for that matter) grow into anything different outside of deciding to be there for his son. Literally none of the other characters have an arc
From a screenwriting POV this movie is terrible. The quality of the cast made it watchable - Ashton in particular is an excellent actor - but it went nowhere and had nothing interesting to say.
someone also hit the nail on the head sayying Wright's performance was like something from Key and Peele
i am interested tho, what do you think of the portrayal of Oakland tho bruh? I know you a bay nikka so im interested to know how you think they showed shyt

The movie ain't as fresh in my head as it was a month ago but the portrayal wasn't too far off, side characters like TQ and Trex were pretty accurate as far as smirkish snake ass nikkas go
If anything, Ashton didn't come off like a Town nikka at all. I still enjoyed his performance though, it's not easy to capture that if you don't know it organically.Location and costume design-wise it was fairly accurate, to the small extent that they depicted the function & sideshow culture it was also fairly accurate. The characters didn't feel real like that though because the writing was subpar, the only Bay Area hood flick I've seen where the characters felt like people I know irl was Licks.
Real shyt though I'm waiting on a good Fillmoe period film, hood flick or straight-up drama... the potential there story, character and cinematography wise
There's so many legends and incredible stories outta Fillmoe it ain't even funny, it's also literally the most photogenic neighborhood in SF.
LOL ITS NOT THAT DEEP CUDDIE
SOMETIMES SIMPLICITY DOES THE JOB
AS FAR AS THIS MOVIE GOES, THE PLOT WAS EXECUTED WITH EXCELLENCE.. AND EVEN THO ITS A SIMPLE PLOT, THE CINEMATOGRAPHY AND ACTING CARRIES IT. THERE WERE NO HOLES AND THE STORY THAT WAS WRITTEN WAS TOLD WITH STRAIGHT FORWARD EXECUTION.....
OVERALL ITS A GOOD MOVIE... MOVIE THEATER WORTHY, OFF TOP.
Just watched it. I thought it was ok. A bit confusing though. Wright killed it. Ashton trying hard to be this generations’ Keanu Reeves
I love Oakland, but they gotta start using other cities in the Bay for these films. Pittsburg/Antioch, Vallejo, Richmond, San Jose, East Palo Alto....shyt they should show multiple cities in one film.
People in the Bay tend to move around city to city anyway. Just my lil rant!

They could easily make a Godfather of Harlem-type show of that eraThe movie ain't as fresh in my head as it was a month ago but the portrayal wasn't too far off, side characters like TQ and Trex were pretty accurate as far as smirkish snake ass nikkas go

Easily
Not gonna lie though they'd have to hire a shyt-ton of extras to make Fillmoe look half as black as it used to be though
