Color Me Now
What a movie. Glorifying gang life and the Po-Po looks effective for the Hollywood makeover. Some scenes feel true, others not so much.
Fantastic actors in their primes. The cops were gritty. The gangstas were real... ish. The streets definitely looked authentic. Wonder how much they had to crowd control the neighborhood gangs in the area? A look into a world pre-Riots (1992) and post Neighborhood Watch (2012) - a 20 year difference in exposure. Now we have the "Interwebs" as a certain starlet first said. Would we be seeing this world without movies? Don't think so.
Thank God for filmmakers having the courage and resources that believed in them to make them.
Then and Now.
An endurable world still living in the underbelly of our lives.
Go watch.
