Fruitvale Station is gonna be the next classic Black movie

[The Message]

I've seen it twice since the nationwide release. Haven't cried, but I feel so listless afterwards. Oscar was just a young dude trying to live his life and make up for his mistakes and be there for the people he loved, that's what I got from each viewing. They did an amazing job with the casting. I saw people I know in each of the characters. I saw my brothers in Oscar, I even saw a bit of myself. Its not fair he didn't get his second chance because of some a$$hole cop high off his own adrenaline..

Post is on point. When you saw Oscar with his friends, I saw me and my folk too. Man when I left the theater, I was empty. Others were either crying, bout to tear up or had this dazed look in their face.

A cat walked out with me and said to me "This justice system aint shyt. It's flawed." I said, "Naw, it's exactly perfect. They designed it for us to fail."

I dont think I can watch this movie again.

Wow, for a movie to evoke this kind of emotion it should result in an Oscar (no pun intended).

Yeah the movie deserves something. On the part where the screen went black you heard nothing but and sniffles

Right. I've never seen a movie literally suck the life out of people. And you know us blacks are very expressive and emotional. That's how powerful this movie was. shyt, my homeboy admitted that he cried when he went to see it. He's one of the toughest dudes I know. Props to this movie, I really hope it does well and opens the door for more films like this.

I plan on buying it DVD, I'm supporting it in every way.

Hit home for me, I'm from Oakland. Everything they showed in the movie, I've been there. From Fruitvale Bart to the marina. The gas station on 7th and Mandela parkway, west Oakland Bart station. Ryan Coogler made a hell of a movie, I hope he uses Oakland like Spike Lee uses NYC.

So were the lady he ran into at the store and the dude from jail really on the train? That's one hell if a coincidence of true.

Probably just filler material, like the part with the dog. Dude seemed like he was trying to get his life together, that could have been any one of us

When dude told the doctor "don't come back out here without Oscar!" Everybody laughed but then instantly got hit back with mode

Great film...not going to lie I was watery-eyed @ the end of this movie. Hope Michael B. Jordan gets some more looks in Hollywood.
