i saw the movie in class and i have to right a paper on how i perceive it . i have take the time to read a lot of your comment and a lot of you be right and it be an excellent movie . the part that get me be that a lot of people do not understand why thing happen the way they do . you have the right to say that the upper collar worker doesn not go to the inner city to buy drug . i would have to disagree with you . i be from the city and see it everyday . i have lose so many friend to the street . it be sad to say the least . but and the true sad part be this way of life be call survival where i come from . this film be to show u that it start at home and to want good for yourself and your child .
