REDEMPTION MOVIE (2004)
THEY DID 2 MU2C ON THAT MOVIE...TRYNA BLAME BLOODS FOR KUMIN OUT with the GUNS...ANYWAY THE WAY THEY THE BLOODS DRESSED UP THERE WAS NOT the BUSINESS, LIKE WE GO OUT OF OUR WAY TO BE FLAMED(IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS)
Re: REDEMPTION MOVIE
i saw the movie. the part when the gangs were throwing hoods up, were those real hoods.
Re: REDEMPTION MOVIE
depends on what hood, and what year. Some bloods stay flamed up, our at least used to. Others barely sport their colors. You can't just make a blanket statement like that.

Re: REDEMPTION The Stanley Tookie Williams Story
They could have had a better guy than Jamie Foxx portray Tookie, from what i understand Tookie was a pretty big built dude. Otherwise I liked the movie.

Re: REDEMPTION
u can rent it i rented it on DVD cuz i saw it on cable n i thought it was koo give it a 7
Re: REDEMPTION
Saw it. I personally didn't like how they zoomed on his face when he was saying "I had to do the most ruthless thing possible", etc. when hes talking to the lady in prison... I think if they would have just kept him in that distant camera angle people would have felt sorry for him more so they did all this zooming shit on his face to make him seem more menacing.
Re: REDEMPTION The Stanley Tookie Williams Story
This movie wuz tigh but it didn't really explain enuff of tookies baccground like his life in the hood but theas a new tookie movie out haven't seen it yet it's advertised on his site.

Re: REDEMPTION The Stanley Tookie Williams Story
Yea trip i been lookin at his site it sayin that it his life story n they mailin it u jus gotta order on the site
Re: REDEMPTION The Stanley Tookie Williams Story
I THINK THE MOVIE JUMPED AROUND TO MUCH.. IT SHOULD HAVE HAD MORE FACTUAL EVENTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND MAYBE MORE REAL FOOTAGE. BUT I STILL LIKED IT.
Re: REDEMPTION The Stanley Tookie Williams Story
The movie was good, but I think it focused too much on his transformation in prison. I would've like to have seen more stuff about the early years of the Crips.

True that and the first fight which happened in the 70s againts the Crips and Pirus which ended up a Crip victory due to more presentness of the Crips.

Well put. Redemption was a interesting movie a good film definatley in the collection.ablackmanlookin wrote:I have finally seen it and thought it was very good. Jamie played the part very well and depending how much the budget was they couldnt tell every detail of his life. I think people need to take heed to his message and not focus so much on them not showing fighting and killing.
Re: REDEMPTION The Stanley Tookie Williams Story
you can get it here for $12.99:FILA wrote:Movie was good but the dvd was expensive shit it was like 23
