I don't mean this to sound snarky or anything because I've had this very same debate with people. Although some scenes are disturbing and distressing, ultimately it's a movie - a work of fiction. I don't see it being any different than something like "Oliver"....
I thought about it some more, and I guess I see the movie as being all cymbals and hardly any rhythm. It is so loud and intrusive and I feel like it emotionally rapes people in an attempt to mimic depth. Yet the actors don't portray much emotional range at all, it is almost like they are impervious to all that is happening around them. The most you see is a young Jamal beating up his brother, beating up the cop.. that is how you see them display anything other than numbness. . .. (and even that, is it acting or non-acting?) I guess, to me, if you're going to show such atrocity, make it worth it. Don't seal it at the end with a simple kiss and call it a great movie. Cause it isn't.
This time I went through and defriended all the people I didn't think I'd ever be good friends with. I mean, I had a whole baby and you didn't bother to send a card or ask to come see it. You never want to go to any of the movies I've ever asked people if they want to see with me, you've never invited me out. . .it just seems like this is it, just reading about each other's lives while not really being part of them, know what I mean?
What spurred this line of thought for me was that I have such little time online these days, and I have been really trying to keep close to the people I love, and bring new good people into my life, so the time I have online is reserved for those who mean a tonne to me. And it just seemed after all this time you aren't part of my life and probably never will be. I hope you understand. I wish you all the best.
