the film ( death of a dynasty ) be screen in the same theater where al pacino screen his film chinese coffee for the tff . the build up be there . the theater be fill to capacity . well and the theater be full before the movie begin and but by the time the movie end and the light come up . people disappear i be not be funny . more than 2/3 of the people vacate the theater . this movie be horrible . now this be come from someone who know film . to prove it . no film be waste because it be shoot on a canon xl1 by use the factory electronic lens ( instead of a manual lens where the dp could have good control ) . the actor portray jay z and damon dash and sean p diddy comb be all inside joke where the script be paper thin . not have the actual character who be so well know put the actor in place of have to go over the top in their portrayal of these hip hop icon . some portion be over expose ( like on the ball court ) . do anyone use a monitor or check the f stop setting . the jump cut edit when damon dash be on the phone be trite and frivolous . the asian girl come out of nowhere have no back story nor purpose other than scream you lookin at me . be further proof that this film have no character development . the script be weak because it have no storyline other than a fake story to dave ( who be a parody of the source magazine ) which be a non story in and of itself . not even the music be worthy of my time . the direction be non existent and i be not certain if it because of the lack of script or vision and but it look a if someone free style every scene and have a guy with a canon xl1 put it on tape . i find myself anxious and go from want this film to succeed desperately to want to join the 2/3 leave en mass to get the get the hell out of the theater . nevertheless and i stay hop it would get good . it do not . the jmj cameo and aaliyah salute be the only cause for applause in the film . yet and if you think about it and you do good work for someone youre salute while not the bad and god awful thing since russell tougher than leather fiasco . i would have to put this in that category while ego driven and non talented piece of decadence that be mess it up for real talented young filmmaker that could have use that budget and that cast to make something great and funny or at least good .
