Better Late Then Never
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Excellent movie. This is the birth of hood-rats and the choices to make. "Why you gotta be like this?" Really? That's the guy and life you want to follow? It's sad cases that you can see happens in real life as well. Visions of hope and the tragedy mixed in you can see coming a mile away. They think they're the "baddest" girls around, they fight each other, their boyfriends, rivals and just life in general. It's another world that lives beneath, the urban lifestyle trapping the girls in a place that most people would never want to live in.
This is a very interesting film about the girls who hang out with the gangbangers in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. The focus shifts from one character to another, but the story is pretty much always told from the viewpoint of the girls.This movie is bittersweet to me because it documents much of the tragedy surrounding the senseless killings on the street but it also offers a vision of hope. The characters in the film are shown as real human beings - the director used a mix of actors and real people from the neighborhood. It's sad to see how innocent many of them are yet how easily the violence comes.Don't think this is just all shootings and beatings. It's mostly about the neighborhood and the people in it, and that's where the sweet in bittersweet comes from. Even amid all the tragedy, men and women hook up with each other, babies are born, life goes on. It's not the melodrama of "West Side Story", it's more a poignant look at life in the Echo.Production values lag at times but this is still a very fine movie and one of my favorites.
It is so much like the world I grew up in during my high school years that there isn't a character in the movie I can't identify with. Everytime I watch it, it's like I'm watching a home video of me and my old friends....
I liked how the movie was filmed is about it. They are telling you what happened in real life is liked teenagers go through that stuff but the good thing is that I liked the girls take care about their children and they never let their children with other people liked if they weren't anything. If I know that an other women is with my boyfriend I never go out with him or sleep with him also I think that that's truth about people they still used drugs and sale drugs so they could have money and take care of themselves. But that's life can do anything else have to do what you have to do.
