What a good film

I don't normally right reviews for films, but i'm going to make an exception on this one.
I never heard much about this film and usually these type of film never catch my eye as they are not advertised as well as the big blockbusters, however I tend to enjoy them alot more than those movie which are thrown down my throat. With critics ranting and raving about how good they are, when in actually fact they are a piece of crap.
This movie was very interesting because it shows young rich kids trying, to escape their privileged lives and act like something that their not. Even quoting lyrics from famous hip hop songs and using the word "Nigg@" freely, and not taking in the fact that they might affend someone.
This type of movie make me think why people would want to change who they are?
why can't the be happy with them selves and their lives?
I have come to realise that if someone wants to change who they are, they must have some self esteem issues and the persuit of them changing everything that they are will not make them happy but more than likely send them on the same path of unhappiness, they need to love them selves as they are and not try to be someone else.
I am not saying that people should not embrace the cultures of other communities, but If you don't really associating with that community and are only going by the stereotype of how that community is perceived by the media.
Surely not ever one who listens to hip hop, goes around talking the way those kids talk, I find this odd because It seem like they, have never associated with people outside of 'thier crew'.
As a black person I know this as I enjoy embracing my culture, but I know their is a time and a place for everything and like anne's character I adapt my language, to suit the person I am speaking too, because if I speak creole to a middle aged white person they probably wouldn't understand me. The same statement goes for a african person, but a fellow caribbean person would understand me. However the fact that anne and he "plc" crew don't come from that background and more than likely only just got into the whole hip hop culture, speaks volumes to me and I just don't understand why they feel the need to talk the way they do, as they have not grown up around it.
I really enjoyed this film, it make you wonder why people feel the need to join gangs, do drugs, play with guns and want to be someone else.
Is it to escape the reality of their home lives?
But why choose to do things that are so negative?
Why not do good?
why not help folks who are not as well off as your self, get out the life their in.
why not volunteer your services to make a difference?
Ok enough of my ranting, you should watch this thought provoking movie. I could add more but i might spoil it for you. |
