yea the movie isnt that great.

I liked it

Coli logic:

Fruitval Station=nikka was a scumbag and they should of kept it that way in the movie. Awful movie is awful because of inaccuracies.

Captain Phillips=movie of the year, awesome movie overall. Who cares about the inaccuracies, its just a movie at the end of the day and majority of the movie was true.

Am I the only one who still only sees him as Wallace? I'm having that problem with Stringer, Avon, D'Angelo, & Omar too -- every movie they're in, I only call them by their Wire names.

Uh....no. People on here were calling bullshyt on "Captain Phillips" more or less as soon as it was announced. There was an entire thread dedicated to just the poster, if I remember correctly.

Other than some calling racism, it looks to be a positive thread for the movie

I see Wood Harris as just an actor. He did Remember the Titans and Above the Rim way before the Wire.


I still look at Lawrence Gilliard as the Kicker from the Waterboy.

Nah, while I'll remember him as Wallace. He done a lot of other things I've enjoyed since then and he looks way different from when was on The Wire. Way taller, no cornrows.

Every white person that felt that way still feels that way. This movie did nothing to change that. It was way too over the top the way they tried to shove it in your face how he was a good guy who had just started to turn his life around or whatever. Every...single....scene Oscar was in, the entire point of the scene was to show how he was supposed to be some good Samaritan. Thats what made it so unbelievable. I didnt find a human element to his character.

The first maybe 45 minutes of the movie was incredibly slow and boring, plus the fact that it was obvious a lot of stuff was fabricated left a bad taste in my mouth up until the point when there were actually on the BART. And the pitbull scene served two functions: one, to make the audience empathize with Oscar. He's obviously a good person if he cares about animals. and two, the pitbull is a metaphor for young black males. They're perceived as a threat...violent and uncontrollable to the general population. But when the dog dies, you realize its a living thing thats mortal and feels pain just like everyone else. So that kinda set up some foreshadowing as to whats going to happen to Oscar.

And overall, the acting was pretty terrible. I'm from Oakland, and the Fruitvale station was the BART stop in my neighborhood so I was pretty much there a couple times a week. The most frustrating part of the movie was honesty the fact that none of the main characters sounded or acted like people from Oakland. The extras, like a couple of his friends, and that asian dude he was supposed to sell the weed too sounded like some bay nikkas tho.
