So that was a snoop voice over the whole theater was When he popped up
You know that nikka lyingThe actor who played snoop said it wasn't a voice over
Is there some article you guys read with the film makers or snoop saying it was or somebody said it so everybody is running with it?
Somebody hip me to who Maino, Tia Mowry's husband, and the Dee Dee from Half and Half's bf were playing in the movie.
Damn this is all the love a thread about a movie directed by a black director about a black icon with a mostly black cast gets?
Coli looking real
Mowry's husband was Haitian Jack.
The movie was ok, but mannn when they played Dear Mama when Afeni was walking out the prison.....
Just got back from seeing it.
You can tell a lot of heart was put into this film. Demetrius Shipp did a MUCH better job than I initially gave him credit for and not just because he looks like Pac. But because he really channeled Pac, especially the prison and Death Row era. The Death Row East interview he did when he called out Nas and Bad Boy I actually thought was real archival footage.
Now Heart and dedication can only get you so far. My skepticism regarding this film always ALWAYS stems from my belief that an effective Pac can't be done properly unless it's a 3 hour epic ala Malcom X. Pac's story was always suited for something like an HBO mini-series where his origins could properly breathe. Take this SAME cast and give them a 3-4 part series and I gurantee you have gold. The direction by Benny Boom is all over the place, and I think it's because, again they crammed so much into the film that things got lost in translation. For instance the Pac-Kidada relationship should've been a litttllleeee more fleshed out and I feel like Afeni should've been given more of an arc. You don't go from proud Black Panther to junkie without showing the reasons why.
I'd rate it a 6.5/10 based off the performances alone. I appreciate the effort, I really do. And most of the material from the Death Row era onward is dope but a Pac biopic deserves more
Without looking, I'm guessing Benny Boom had never directing anything before this.
Because yikes did this need some work.
Naw for some reason the main thread in Locker RoomDamn this is all the love a thread about a movie directed by a black director about a black icon with a mostly black cast gets?
