when i saw the rize trailer at first i be afraid that this would be yet another movie depict the african american experience through slant and distort filter ignorance and the medium would have white america and the rest of the world believe . after a few minute though i find that i couldn not have be more wrong . rize be a wonderful piece of cinematic gold . it show u what movie can really accomplish . it show that what make a movie good isn not a big budget rehash of the same mindless drivel hollywood have shove down our throat for the past year . but a movie with substance . if you have read the other review and summary for this movie me tell you about the plot or character be a waste of space . also if you have read the other review you will see that quite a few people believe that rize be just you get serve with face paint . people who have write this make me believe that they must have be watch a spoof on tv or watching commercial and and come to there own conclusion . you get serve be to the african american dance culture a from justin to kelly be to musical . ygs be a the same type of group vs. rival group with mild drama of a betrayal of a former member that be depict in bring it on or good burger and countless other film for the 12 17 age demographic . it be a film mostly for fan to get a last few glimpse of the former music group b2k and leader of the former group immature ( or imx ) together for the last time ( sort of like spice world ) . in this since it serve it purpose well . know this you can see that it would be a closed minded and ignorant person to even link these two movie together . and my advice to those who choose to do so be represent to actually see the movie you choose to harshly critique . you may even find that one of these movie be not like the other a one be a documentary and the other a teen flick . also i have notice in review previous to mine that the movie be cool be mention due to it brief cameo esque snippet of the dance style . be cool be mention to be the first discovery of the dance style . this be simply not true and a one of the first showing of this dance style can be credit to missy elliot in her music video i be really hot . another method of discredit this movie be by attack the director for just be christina music video director or a photographer . though i can honestly say that i be nor have ever be a fan of christina aguilera work . i certainly do not hold this against mr. lachappelle because unlike most respect and honor director who turn a blind eye to movie like this because they aren not oscar worthy he step in and and in his own artistic and beautiful way shun the myth and stereotype that have plague the african american people . ( especially young people reside in urban area and ghetto for no fault of there own be label a thug and gangsta be now be know a artist and visionary due to them turn back to their root in africa ) . i hope more movie will come out like this and liberate all race from their own stereotype .
