I cant imagine a place filled with so many evil and useless people as the ones portrayed in this movie.
Menace Ii Society Torrent Without AIf you torrent without a VPN, your ISP can see that youre torrenting and may throttle your connection and get fined by legal action.Tyrin Turner and Larenze Tate played great and believable roles.The Hughes Brothers movie charts the hapless life of Caine (Tyrin Turner) as he seeks to escape the ghetto. Jackson in a potent appearance) and an addict, Tyrin, surrounded by guns and a machismo culture, is tied to his friends and the way of life afforded him. Even as love and a chance of a way out arises with Jada Pinketts (terrific) pretty Ronnie, its doubtful if Tyrin will escape from the revolving door of death. Menace II Society had a troubled beginning, refused a video certificate on the grounds of its profane language and brutally violent scenes, it has since gone on to be viewed as one of the finer exponents of anti-violence involving Black Americans. That wasnt always the case though, many critics in the 90s were prone to calling it a film that glamorises the lifestyle of Hood gangsters, but offered a saver of sorts by correctly saying it had realism in amongst the harshness. Certainly the dialogue and regional slang was refreshing to hear, thus affording Menace and its makers praise for keeping it real, so to speak. Ineviatbly comparisons were (are) drawn with John Singletons 1991 film, Boyz n the Hood. But although Menace is rawer, uncompromising and more visceral with impact, it lacks the intelligence of Singletons film. Where Boyz had fully rounded characters, character with which to hang your hat on to, Menace is just a social group of youths we neither know or care about outside of the group, ego driven dynamic. When lead protagonist Tyrin is trying to deal with his inner conflict, we the audience are treated to standard run of the mill melodrama. The streetwise edginess that the Hughes began their film with (the opening is nigh on horrific) has long since gone as they try to make a film that touches all the bases of Black Americana. Easily the most realistic of all the ghetto films made, in fact the film at times feels like we are on a documentary drive around downtown Watts. Menace II Society, however brutal it clearly is, has loaded the gun and shot the bullet, only to see it narrowly miss the whole target it was aiming for. First off, the authenticity talked about in other reviews about ghetto life is so ridiculous I cant express how ignorant those people are. I grew up poor, so while Im white, I can relate on some level to a lot of the trials of young black men in movies like Boyz n the Hood. Those were just normal lower middle class to poor boys caught up in awful circumstances. Their lives resembled the rest of America in a lot of ways, but were punctuated by brief bouts of extreme gang and drug-related violence. For one, theres no way a neighborhood could get this bad without the National Guard getting called in. Im not kidding when I say that the level of violence and the frequency with which it is portrayed in this movie would make it worse than a literal war zone. I dont know how the people of Watts felt about this movie when it came out, but if this was about where I grew up and the people I grew up around, I would be deeply insulted by it.
