hate to brake it to you, but it isnt just a black problem, or an american problem, its a worldwide problem. from London England, south africa to south america to asia people are killing people like this in most major citys across the world. why?, mainly cos of money, thats why they say money is the root to all evil. Plus to many poor broken homes.
this aint a black problem its a people problem im a white male i grew up in the south bronx..ive been shot twice stabbed 3 times ,,i usta think hustlin was the thing to do..but the one thing ive learned is that theres no loyalty when i got hit it was my best friend that walked me into it..i work now 50 hours a week..its a constant struggle..my former self has left me scarred shit ive done shit ive seen shit stays with you..
i live in the projects and stuff like this happens everyday, its just sad and many the people killed in my ghetto i have know before, one day i hope me and my family can get away but violence is not the answer we all have to change and learn to consult rather than attack whether its in the hood or war overseas
The Begginnin It's Very Graphic 2 Watch, But This What Really Goes On In Da World, From The Gun Voilence 2 Racism & Ect. Did They Even Get Permission 2 Put These pics in da movie or Even Showin da movie. Spike Lee Movies R The Best
these images remind me of east new york and the sound bronx in the late 80's and early 90's, too much violence. Its definitely sad to see these images and see that it still happens today because it shows the rest of the world how we do each other here at home.
For the person who is looking for the movie. Spike has a box set that has Clocker's, Crooklyn, Mo Betta blues and some earlier movies ones on it. I purchased mine from Columbia House dvd club!
the picturers used were taken from NYPD crimes investigations murder squad unit (dated from 1992-1993).all murders in the files they used were unsolved to date due to lack of evidence case closed. people complained at the time about the begining but it got promission to use the pictures from the NYPD in the hope of making young black people think about there actions.very sad how these young black people are getting murdered at an alarming rate up to date in these areas & knowones even noticin
This movie is defeinitely mad slept on but you know how it is with Spike Lee. He's an Unsung Hero and will never be appreciated by the masses. The song sets the tone for the picture. Great movie and a decent soundtrack. Desree', Marc Dosey and The Return of the Crooklyn Dodgers are the standouts. Jeru The Demaja is just unreal with his verse. Classic Hip-Hop right there.
This was a great film. Was this the sumner houses? I can' t tell. The sad thing is that nothing has changed that much since then. it is a little safer but it seems like every weekend everybodys shooting at each other here.
This one of my favorite Spike Lee films I've seen, a very underrated crime thriller with powerful perfomances from the cast and director Spike Lee 5 stars for this film and what's this song that playing over the Universal Logo.
Marc Dorsey-- people in search of a life, brilliant song, like the film underrated, this film probably has one of the best movie soundtracks of all time!
"'The intent was to deglamourise this whole infatuation with rap and guns and this idea that it's cool to have a gun and shoot people. I really wanted to set the tone for the film, right from the beginning; to say that if you use a gun, or get shot, there's a good chance you won't get up again. It's not like do-over. Bullets do damage. To do that sequence we recreated real homicide photographs.? " Spike Lee
@icon1914 Wow I thought they were actual crime scene photos! I know that I was teary eyed while sitting in the movie theater. The photos made you think about all the senseless acts of violence and how victims are treated at the crime scene.
@75lord I think the spray painted murals are real. But now I am not sure about any of it! (Because I thought they were crime scene photos). Reading from another post someone quoted Spike from and interview about seekingt approval from the families of the victims before reacting the crime scenes and some scenes were fictional. Either way the hope was to get some answers to these unsolved homocides.
Nah man, these photos were taken during production by the cinematographer. But Spike says somewhere that they were influenced by real forensic photos of victims of street crimes.
no justice for Sean Bell ....all 3 officers acquitted..but it's not over ...we have to fight .and keep going..Lord give us strength through white America.
That is very sad. Unfortunately, this happens every day. I hope more people watch this to see how dangerous gang life is. Of course not all these people were involved in gangs. Plenty of innocents get caught in the crossfire. This is sad and disturbing.
there is always a purpose in life for us. to do good towards one other or to hate life. look in the mirror and ask the ? "What is my purpose in life"????? peace and love
I don't think we can blame black people. I don't think violence has anything to do with the color of your skin. I would say that poverty and the lack of opportunities in the ghettos are the real problems. And, for once, I won't talk 'bout the police.
@fifitrooper lol race has nothing to do with sticking together and bringing each other down, are u saying white, asians, hispanics dont do the same things?
u do sound ignorant
blacks are notorious for sticking together when one makes it big, so much so they go broke, tons of entertainers and athletes have gone broke splurging on friends and family
@fifitrooper to be honest, it's never that simple, you cant trust people you dont know, you never know who has a hidden agenda. trying to escape the trap they were born in. The nation is designed by racists, though were starting to get more controll over things. There are millions underneath that one group of people who make it. The culture, it's very complicated
Those are indeed actual photos. Spike was allowed to use them with the blessing of some of the victims families.
