Hustle and Flow
9 Jul
I went to an advance screening of Hustle and Flow at Landmark’s E Street Cinema starring Terrence Howard, Anthony Anderson and others. I got into the screening free because I entered a contest and I probably wouldn’t have seen it on my own. I didn’t know what to expect … all I had heard about the movie was that it was about a pimp that wanted to be a rapper. With that who knows what the movie could be about? To my surprise the movie was great. It didn’t glorify anything like many of today’s movies seem to. It showed a gritty type of realism. One also sees that no matter a person’s station in life, people have dreams. The movie won the Audience and Cinematography Awards for Drama at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. Check it out.
(On a side note, I guess the bootleg “industry” is really taking off. They checked everyone entering the theater for cameras. Even if you only had a camera phone you had to check it.)
