What did you think of They Cloned Tyrone? I thought it was very Black Mirrory with an extremely powerful/relevent message combined with the sci-fi nature of it. Comment your thoughts below!
It shows how how easy it is to control and get to "Blacks or just people of color period..../ Chicken,foods we love,Permans see how they can tuck your brain up with all those chemicals Malt liquor beer 🍻 that's what's up in the hood oh trust 😢me I took a lot from this movie 🎥, Jamie was funny as always and the rest of the crew was cool even "Tyrone" anyway if you get a chance watch and see what you take from it , who knows maybe they didn't want him to make this movie and that's why,😮😮😮well I let you😮 figure figure it out 😜 figure it out 😉
The fact it was betrayed that black children never see their mother is sheer ignorance. Fontaine was fully grown so are we suppose to believe this man has been talking to his mom behind a door for years like Catholics confessing their sins to the priest. 🙄
I think it was more that the programming was so intense he was so focused on being a dope boy and his own reality that those responses were all he needed to never question that he didn't see his mother.
@@calibama6234 The real Fontaine had seen his mother, and his memories of her were implanted into the clones. So, even though the clones never saw her, they thought that they had seen her.
Netflix reaches more people and so much less red tape everybody from the bottom up gets more money. The only reason to put it in theaters is to get a bunch of black people in the same place for a mass sh00ting. Nice try.
Definitely was more than I expected too. I agree! I’m glad movies like this are able to get us interested without giving away too much in the trailers and promotion. Makes for a way better viewing experience!
Fontaine character didn’t have a single funny scene in the movie. How was he “hilarious”? In fact, the other 2 characters were meant to be in contrast to his seriousness. That’s why the kid called him Squidword in the beginning, saying he kills the vibe.
Better than most of Eddie Murphy's movies. I am bummed that they're giving The Marvels a hard time, Teyonah Parris is a phenomenal actress @@BrainPilot
I love how the movie name joke was saved for the very end of the movie. Changing Erykah Badu's 1997 hit lyrics to refer to cloning Tyrone was pure genius.
This was an empowering film for Black middle class and lower class people (as well as all lower middle class people). The Gangs, pimps, prostitutes, Drug dealers, scammers and, regular civilians all put their heads together to protect their community. It was a great movie that says Black people CAN. We can work together no matter how much money we have and make a postive change. Most movies like this make Black people seem helpless or there is just ONE LONE black person to be a savoir. In this movie, the whole community were heroes by ALL doing their part and working together. I believe thats the real message
That's the message I got from it as well. It reminded me of when I'm trying to wake "My People" up they always hit me with the "What can we do?" or "We can't do anything , they're too powerful!" , and my favorite line they use is .. "There's more of them , than us we'll get overpowered" , ect. I didn't realize so many of us don't/didn't know that we are NOT the Minority but the Majority . Just like mouse are finding out Africa is a Continent instead of a country 😩🤦🏾♀️ Anyways 💯 Thank you King 👑💯🤞🏾💕😂❤ SideNote: The Chicken part of the Movie reminded me of when those Chicken Sandwiches came out from Popeyes remember how "CrAzY" people were acting 💁🏾♀️ WhyPePO as well not to single us out but we're who I care about is all 🤷🏾♀️💯
Remember it was said it would take generations to complete the overall mission. I think this is the reason why we see a mix of 70’s 80’s 90’s and 2000’s..reference and settings Generations…! I believe the old timer by the store probably knew the older Fontaine and decided to just exist rather than be involved. Kind of like the opinion they were given to keep doing their part in The Glen rather than get murdered. I enjoyed the movie. It was a great mind bender.. especially with growing up in the hood.
Agreed, also, the old alcoholic outside the LA store in a Tyrone’s neighborhood was not a clone of the old alcoholic in Fontaine’s neighborhood…but both alcoholic’s served the same role. So I wonder if the old alcoholic is a programmed clone or a paid position. Maybe even a robot. Can’t be a regular person like the woman’s character, because he has the same personality and function of Fontaine’s old Alcoholic.
@@firstlast9846although he is far too good of an actor for those Star Wars movies I understand why he did them. They propelled him into the spotlight. Not a lot of people saw Attack The Block. Those of us that did knew without a doubt he was destined for stardom
This movie was PURE GENIUS. Idk if this was caught and mentioned, but I loved that when we finally see the titular Tyrone, he wakes up in the house that Ice Cube live in in the movie Friday.
@@Knottyautumn yeah. As a matter of fact, Tyrone wakes up very much like Cube did in Friday…. This movie has TONS of classic black cinema references, and it’s definitely worth a rewatch imo
@@maskelly5439if you were taken as hostage in China, and then they let you go all of a sudden, what would you do? You have no money, no family, you barely know their language, you don’t know where you’re at. How do you make money? No one will do good business with you. So how do you try and live?
This movie was so enjoyable to watch. Every scene was classic. The Juvenile Back that ass up at church revival had me cracking up. So many good moments. I’m going to watch this several times.
Never heard anything of this movie or even seen a trailer of it until someone at my job told me about it. I watched it and was absolutely blown away with how good this movie was and its message. I'm definitely putting this in my classic section of movies. This really should've been shown in theaters. This movie wasn't advertised as much either.
Really enjoyed the movie🍇🥤 One of the things I liked about it was the mash-up of decades 70s/80s/90s like blaxploitation + in the Tyrone end scene I got 90s LA vibes. There was a flip phone used as well. It seems like it was set in the modern age bcuz there was talk about crypto + gentrification but the clones like Slick + Fontaine maybe have been stuck in their certain decade or era and not really noticing changes due to being in a rundown envi. Jamies pimp character was 70s-esque, Fontaine was a bit like a 80s/90s-esque dealer + Yo-Yo had those Foxy Brown vibes. I noticed the characters and community used their street smarts, creativity + resilience 2 outsmart their enemies. Lots of coded messages + symbols in this film fosho. Didn't know it was actually shot on film lol, now I understand why it was so grainy + gritty looking. Def adds 2 the vintage vibes.
Very good assessment. I did notice the shift... It kept giving me grand theft auto vibes also. And I think it's a very swell place or a swell place to live on the license plate... Maybe we should investigate what swell means...
That had me confused at first! Because when I saw people holding touch screen phones at the end I was like wait ?! What era is the movie supposed to be in ? Lol
I thought Tyrone was Fontaine's first name most of the movie. It was nice how they tied in Erykah Badu's song at the end when we see the California version of Fontaine which was Tyrone.
This movie was just different from the vibe to the sketchiness and the plot twist everything was perfect. All the actors played there part to perfection 10/10
I got a theory... What if "the glen" wasn't necessarily a real place but instead a test place to experiment 🧪🥼 people and then if the experiment went well they then move out to bigger real cities such as LA and Detroit. 👀 What if almost everybody there at the glen was all clones and the girl yoyo was a metaphor name (she keeps coming back) (simulation was the theme for the movie) to see how the clones reacts to real people??why? if y'all noticed the beepers, the 70s 80s 90s early 00s styles & music in the glen? They are all clones from the past. Yoyo name is a metaphor as jamie said she keeps coming back. (simulation theme). Search the word the glen and it's definition is a narrow valley in the mountains
I guess we could say simulation, since we're not talking about glitches and the matrix... And the simulation is a way to test things out before we go into it in real life. So maybe the Glen like you said is just like the testing station, where people are in there doing whatever they're doing in some sort of a loop, And then upon it being deemed successful, they branch out to a different location. Because how do we account for other people that live in the town... For instance, when John boyega was shot, other people saw him shot, And then they just moved on like that wasn't a miracle of sorts... So maybe the entire town is real and keeping people on drugs, alcohol, on that chicken and grape soda might be The Thing that keeps them blind to the clones that are operating in their locale And I noticed there weren't a whole lot of older people in the town... I can't say for sure, but the alcoholic sitting outside the liquor store, may have been the oldest person in that town. And maybe that's why he could repeat what's going on and nobody was listening to him because he's always been there, and maybe he's drunk because of all the stuff he is seeing but nobody listens to him. I just kind of feel like the alcoholic was the only person that knew what was going on really.
Instant classic! Loved the movie. Definitely shows people who are unaware a peek of what others have always known. Especially the chemicals and missing black people. If only racism would die I’d be elated.
You would be dead then friend. People like you are funny in the sense that you act like you’ve never been or said anything racist ever. Or you think you’re not racist cause nobody heard your thoughts in a certain moment but buddy. I think everybody has a bit of racism in them whether it’s taught instilled or just in us. To be outward racist just because you feel like it is true racism but I theorize we’re all racist to an extent. And I’m Mexican.
Best movie of 2023 hands down. Jaime fox had me crying. Then the real knowledge they were focusing on mind control and behavior modification mind blown. Triggering but so spot on, especially after what just happened to J a ime
So, was Fontaine actually selling drugs or was he selling the powder they found in the underground lab. Jamie mentioned that his last batch was like powdered sugar.
Just finished it and loooooved it… every aspect - the acting, cinematography, direction, the character arcs, the detail in the storytelling, the production quality, the look and feel - *everything* was on point. Feel like I have to comment in order to recommend this one
This movie was well written, the actors were great , a good soundtrack is everything. The feel that Jamie Fox character gave the movie was brilliant. You are in modern times, with a 70s feel. Great movie.
Kinda weird that this movie came out about the government or secret society cloned Tyrone, then the "health scare with Jamie Foxx and returned looking noticeably lighter
This movie was so fucking trippy and I loved it. I really hope this movie gets a sequel. The amount of possibilities that the ending brought is enough to justify it. ❤
This movie was a masterpiece and I truly believe that they running experiments in certain areas Chicago, Detroit,Los Angeles change my prospective on life
Yup. They always give us a sneak peek of the ishh that’s really going down behind closed doors. Making these types of subjects into comedy films allows it to go over everyone heads though.
We have a modern day classic! Feels strange to say this doesn’t feel far off because of the world we live in right now. This came out at an impeccable time.
Watching this movie I had emotions of laughter and get wrenching feelings from scenes that triggered me. Having the hustler, chicken store, liquor store, pimp and preacher to keep the “ peace or status quo “ in the black community. This video helped me see a different perspective because I thought about the eugenics movement. Eugenics movement came to the church with planned parenthood with Margret Sanger. Government put drugs in the community with War on drugs. Pimps pimp 🤷🏽♂️ 😂. Yo-Yo really was the driving force of the movie tho. Seeing Yo-Yo bedroom in her grandmothers house hit hard. She was a dreamer then fell victim to the streets but showed she was more than that.
The government pumping drugs into low income communities for their own agenda was 💯 % what I 1st thought about when watching this gem of a film 🎥 ...It added to the authenticity & the artistry of crossing decades too!!!.... Instant classic!!!
AMAZING Movie. The subliminal messages were brilliantly placed. If you look past it being just a “movie” and focus on the message…definitely in the category of top 10 best movies made. It ranks up there with “The Harder They Fall!” And the trailers were on point. The Music Supervisor did a great job!
Loved it! Loved it! Brilliant movie, with the right element of mystery and humour. So many layers to peel back. I will have to watch it a few more times. It was that good! The cast was amazing to watch.. so much talent ! Brilliant performances all around. This movie will be talked about for decades to come! Perfect 10!
I really enjoyed it. The plot twists were excellent. The acting was top-notch. Mr.Foxx should, at least, be nominated for best supporting actor for his efforts.
When I watched it, I saw that we are all victims of the machine where no one has value unless the puppet master deems it necessary. The girl didn't have a clone so she was expendable. Culturally we are taught to bet on our own team, but the truth is such that we're all pawns politics aside.
What a surprisingly entertaining movie. I really wasn't expecting this much thought provoking entertainment. Now, I'm going to watch it with a clear head and no greenery.
Exceptional project. Haven't seen anything shot in film forever. Great choice. I love all the characters, Everybody knew their assignments and committed 100%. I fell in love with Bordega in 2020 when he was unapologetically showing and articulating his rage with the rest of us who are anti-racist. Only tweak is I wish they had cast Shoniqua Shondai, who played in Harlem series. She's even more of a force.
Good movie for sure. Funny, good actors, awesome music and atmosphere. I'm wondering about the name of the movie - They Cloned Tyrone. You can say that the only Tyrone we see on the screen is a dude in the ending scene. But Fountaine's little brother's name is Ron. Which can be used as Tyrone too.
im a 24 year old white dude with tan lines thatll make you go yee haw but i sure do love me a cool gangster character. I need more of this world and more Boyega
That round and round track when they were trying to get out the club goes so hard!! 😭😭😭 Slick nearly didn't make it out I know I wouldn't have😅 it's just a movie but that beat really be hypnotizing, holy shit
@@lukewright9031not true, we see it leads off with basically the start of a revolution, how it ends it confirms tjay clones and people that know the clones around the world exists. This has so much potential to a civil war that leads to a trilogy or to sum deeper sci-fi shih which I doubt it’ll go that rout
My sister and I SCREAMED at the ending of the movie like "If that's tyrone than WTF IS THE GUYS NAME WE'VE BEEN WATCHING THIS WHOLE TIME?!?!" 😭 Gotta pay attention watching this.. I still genuinely don't know what time they are living in..I saw b2k poster but got a 70's vibe but they used lingo from today..
The ending was kinda shaky like you tell me all those people weren’t in state of shock after seeing clones or a underground laboratory and I also felt like the people agreeing to go underground should’ve had more pushback. It would take some major convincing for people to believe that it’s a laboratory underground making clones let alone actually going down there.
Your comment contradicts itself. You asked why weren't those people in a state of shock after seeing clones from an underground laboratory, but then say it would take some major convincing for people to believe that there's a laboratory underground making clones. You answered your own question. People aren't shocked upon first hearing the news of the cloning center underground, because they don't 100% believe it at first.
This movie will definitely make you feel that way! Stuff rang too true!! 😳😳 I remember that Popeyes chicken craze years back, and I thought at the time, "Something is wrong with this. I'm not going anywhere near that chicken"!!! People were breaking out into fights, lines to get it were ridiculous. It really just seemed like a chaos experiment, and we went for it. The programming is deep when you have to ask yourself, "Is this ME acting a fool, or is this my programming/social engineering"? 🤔
@@djbibsspecial it’s all in the movie in front of our face. Look at how we acted over the Popeyes chicken sandwich. Someone actually died over that sandwich when it came out . That’s just one example
He was the happiest with him. Any other time he looked stressed. Someone could be in ur life for 1 minute and make a huge impact. He fill many roles in my opinion for Fontaine.
You're spot on Kimmy b/c he genuinely laughed with the child showing a child's innate ability to bring that out of us. The only other time he laughed was in the restaurant when he was under the influence. The child's role was very significant. Since maybe the only other one that was not cloned besides Yoyo.
finished this today and i’d watch it again !! that shit is real life !! what happens to us to our world smh if we all come together as ONE instead of letting them divide us we’d WIN. ! but we’re all to selfish and or scared !! it’s saddening fr jesus is coming though ❤❤
Yeah, we're pretty much all under that mk ultra trauma based mind control. They're just willing to straight up tell us now. That's kinda deep and scary. 😳
The last scene was about the transition or disease spread in the for of Gangsta Rap. Notice they always mention Memphis as the next move. The psychological herd moving of the new face of Gangsta And Slut Rap. It wrapped back around from the beginning on Gangsta Rap(the first brainwashed clone) Los Angeles. After LA Rap it came to the south ATL dominated New Orlean kic the door open. Chicago and Detroit but the move is Memphis style of Gangst Rao and Slut Culture. Giving the same dish or program with a different season.
I also only read the synopsis and DID NOT expect all what happened on the movie, there's a lot of sociocultural critiques that can be extracted from this piece; it's a very raw movie if you go down that rabbit hole.
What did you think of They Cloned Tyrone? I thought it was very Black Mirrory with an extremely powerful/relevent message combined with the sci-fi nature of it. Comment your thoughts below!
If you liked John Boyega in this movie, you should check him out the British cult classic "Attack the Block" - Similar movies.

Turned it off after 15 min....hard pass.
Attack the Block was much better. It's actually launched Boyega aka Denzel Washington wannabe career.
When he finally came to the reality that his "mother" was just a recorded voice, that shit hit HARD
The fact it was betrayed that black children never see their mother is sheer ignorance. Fontaine was fully grown so are we suppose to believe this man has been talking to his mom behind a door for years like Catholics confessing their sins to the priest. 🙄

Loved Boyega since Attack the Block. He was so good in this. I would say Atlanta really inspired a lot of entertainment already and it isnt even old.
Don't doubt it but this film was definitely Jordan Peele inspired
Attack the block is where I first saw him too.. and an episode of Law and Order - seeing him jump to Star Wars was quite jarring

I guess we could say simulation, since we're not talking about glitches and the matrix...
And the simulation is a way to test things out before we go into it in real life.
So maybe the Glen like you said is just like the testing station, where people are in there doing whatever they're doing in some sort of a loop, And then upon it being deemed successful, they branch out to a different location.
Because how do we account for other people that live in the town...
For instance, when John boyega was shot, other people saw him shot, And then they just moved on like that wasn't a miracle of sorts...
So maybe the entire town is real and keeping people on drugs, alcohol, on that chicken and grape soda might be The Thing that keeps them blind to the clones that are operating in their locale
And I noticed there weren't a whole lot of older people in the town... I can't say for sure, but the alcoholic sitting outside the liquor store, may have been the oldest person in that town.
And maybe that's why he could repeat what's going on and nobody was listening to him because he's always been there, and maybe he's drunk because of all the stuff he is seeing but nobody listens to him.
I just kind of feel like the alcoholic was the only person that knew what was going on really.
Great Analysis. At least I hope so. It would explain the hyper negative and narrow stereotypes only depicted in Glen.
I was wondering about the era because I noticed it was off a lil
Great way look at it
Thank you for the insight
Instant classic! Loved the movie. Definitely shows people who are unaware a peek of what others have always known. Especially the chemicals and missing black people. If only racism would die I’d be elated.
Mfs been calling me a conspiracy theorists since 2016 for spreading info like this
You would be dead then friend. People like you are funny in the sense that you act like you’ve never been or said anything racist ever. Or you think you’re not racist cause nobody heard your thoughts in a certain moment but buddy. I think everybody has a bit of racism in them whether it’s taught instilled or just in us. To be outward racist just because you feel like it is true racism but I theorize we’re all racist to an extent. And I’m Mexican.
Racism? U missed the whole point of the movie.
@@kI-cq5xq lol ok 🙄
@@kI-cq5xqtrust bro where did she get that from😂😂
I had to watch it twice. I didn't appreciate how good it was during my first viewing. Very good movie.
It is a real good one!
I watched it again immediately after watching it for the first time. Mind blowing!
Best movie of 2023 hands down. Jaime fox had me crying. Then the real knowledge they were focusing on mind control and behavior modification mind blown. Triggering but so spot on, especially after what just happened to J a ime
The industry don’t fw cat Williams but I woulda liked to see him put the pimp fit on one more time😂
This comment aged well!
So, was Fontaine actually selling drugs or was he selling the powder they found in the underground lab. Jamie mentioned that his last batch was like powdered sugar.
They prolly cuttin it powder and the white stuff. B/c whenJamie hit the pure powder he was giggling like a mo fo! I’m sure he would have noticed that!
It was in the chicken that’s why they be laughing in the restaurant
He was actually selling drugs. The white stuff was only to put in the chicken.
@@nikyahparker4509And in the Grape drink communion juice and perm.
i think it was a reference to the FBI funding crack conspiracy theory
Just finished it and loooooved it… every aspect - the acting, cinematography, direction, the character arcs, the detail in the storytelling, the production quality, the look and feel - *everything* was on point. Feel like I have to comment in order to recommend this one
When netflix makes a actualy good movie
When did they?
Black mirror vibes
Netflix low key been producing good original movies
It was a good surprise. Hooked me in from the start. Acting was good. Mysterious and funny.
Yeah I was pleasantly surprised with the depth and meaning to the story! John Boyega was top tier in this as well!
They way they be showing things straight up to your face now. They aren’t even hiding anymore lmao 😂
This movie was well written, the actors were great , a good soundtrack is everything. The feel that Jamie Fox character gave the movie was brilliant. You are in modern times, with a 70s feel. Great movie.
Kinda weird that this movie came out about the government or secret society cloned Tyrone, then the "health scare with Jamie Foxx and returned looking noticeably lighter
I just noticed this cause everybody been saying jamie fox was a clone and mysteriously this movie releases with him in it
But I am glad he’s doing okay
@@alectricalexiahow do you know he’s okay.
I knew immediately that I was watching an instant classic. A great, fun, funny and philosophical movie.
This movie was so fucking trippy and I loved it. I really hope this movie gets a sequel. The amount of possibilities that the ending brought is enough to justify it. ❤
@@KemetShamarwho tf are u
The movie reminded me of a Gucci Mane lyric… “In every neighborhood there's a Gucci
The neighborhood dealer with an Uzi” especially the ending lol
This movie was a masterpiece and I truly believe that they running experiments in certain areas Chicago, Detroit,Los Angeles change my prospective on life
Yup. They always give us a sneak peek of the ishh that’s really going down behind closed doors. Making these types of subjects into comedy films allows it to go over everyone heads though.
Baby government housing isn’t called “the projects “ for nothing.
@@goldengirl7625the ‘comedy’ parts are just what makes movies entertainment. Everything is hidden in plain sight
We have a modern day classic! Feels strange to say this doesn’t feel far off because of the world we live in right now. This came out at an impeccable time.
Definitely!
The message of this movie was so powerful damn, I almost cried
🤣🤣
share it please. ive read so many different, beautiful interpertations
Watching this movie I had emotions of laughter and get wrenching feelings from scenes that triggered me. Having the hustler, chicken store, liquor store, pimp and preacher to keep the “ peace or status quo “ in the black community. This video helped me see a different perspective because I thought about the eugenics movement. Eugenics movement came to the church with planned parenthood with Margret Sanger. Government put drugs in the community with War on drugs. Pimps pimp 🤷🏽♂️ 😂. Yo-Yo really was the driving force of the movie tho. Seeing Yo-Yo bedroom in her grandmothers house hit hard. She was a dreamer then fell victim to the streets but showed she was more than that.
The government pumping drugs into low income communities for their own agenda was 💯 % what I 1st thought about when watching this gem of a film 🎥 ...It added to the authenticity & the artistry of crossing decades too!!!.... Instant classic!!!
It’s like a black mirror episode! 🤯🤯🤯😎😎😎👍👍👍
AMAZING Movie. The subliminal messages were brilliantly placed. If you look past it being just a “movie” and focus on the message…definitely in the category of top 10 best movies made. It ranks up there with “The Harder They Fall!” And the trailers were on point. The Music Supervisor did a great job!
When they brought the whole hood with them to the underground was every black person favorite part “ believe that “
I watched this along with Oppenheimer and Barbie this past weekend and out of the three? They Cloned Tyrone was my favorite.
A VERY wonderful and satisfying movie to watch in addition to Barbenheimer! Really enjoyed this!
Glad to hear that!
Loved it! Loved it! Brilliant movie, with the right element of mystery and humour. So many layers to peel back. I will have to watch it a few more times. It was that good! The cast was amazing to watch.. so much talent ! Brilliant performances all around. This movie will be talked about for decades to come! Perfect 10!
Its a modern day version of the story of yakub
Indeed, but the white police officers killed his little brother not black people so why would older fontaine want to turn black people white
On yakub his father's side( black people ) killed his mother and that's why yakub wanted the whites to rule....
Big head scientist
Now this is a CLONE movie, this was amazing I hope they make a part 2 to this 🥰
I really enjoyed it. The plot twists were excellent. The acting was top-notch. Mr.Foxx should, at least, be nominated for best supporting actor for his efforts.
I watched this movie twice! Like back to back. This movie reminded me of “They live”! Instant classic and should’ve been in the movie theaters
When I watched it, I saw that we are all victims of the machine where no one has value unless the puppet master deems it necessary. The girl didn't have a clone so she was expendable. Culturally we are taught to bet on our own team, but the truth is such that we're all pawns politics aside.
Loved it! Did anybody pick up the references to Black Dynamite and Undercover Brother?
And Friday
“ it’s bigger than you , it’s bigger than me”
I think Jon boyega could replace Jonathan majors as Kane the Conqueror, he definitely showed range in this movie
I agree that he is good enough but I think Jonathan Majors should keep his role. He is innocent
Maybe the son of the king t'challa
Boyega is a great actor Majors as well
@@Daniel-qn9rw John Boyega as Kang (or Iron Lad) but Damson Idris as son of King T'Challa.
Why would he need to replace Jonathan Majors?
What a surprisingly entertaining movie. I really wasn't expecting this much thought provoking entertainment. Now, I'm going to watch it with a clear head and no greenery.
Exceptional project. Haven't seen anything shot in film forever. Great choice. I love all the characters, Everybody knew their assignments and committed 100%. I fell in love with Bordega in 2020 when he was unapologetically showing and articulating his rage with the rest of us who are anti-racist. Only tweak is I wish they had cast Shoniqua Shondai, who played in Harlem series. She's even more of a force.
They say everything got a twin lol I heard that all my life.. fuck a doppelgänger we might have a clone out there but with different personalities
Good movie for sure. Funny, good actors, awesome music and atmosphere.
I'm wondering about the name of the movie - They Cloned Tyrone. You can say that the only Tyrone we see on the screen is a dude in the ending scene. But Fountaine's little brother's name is Ron. Which can be used as Tyrone too.
I think the name Tyrone was a generic name for D boys just like the Glenn is just a stand in name for the Hood. Any Hood USA
im a 24 year old white dude with tan lines thatll make you go yee haw but i sure do love me a cool gangster character. I need more of this world and more Boyega
That round and round track when they were trying to get out the club goes so hard!! 😭😭😭 Slick nearly didn't make it out I know I wouldn't have😅 it's just a movie but that beat really be hypnotizing, holy shit
Question 🙋🏾♂️so are we about to get a sequel in LA because that would be dope!
It would be haha!
Highly unlikely because there's no where left for the story to go.
@@lukewright9031not true, we see it leads off with basically the start of a revolution, how it ends it confirms tjay clones and people that know the clones around the world exists. This has so much potential to a civil war that leads to a trilogy or to sum deeper sci-fi shih which I doubt it’ll go that rout
@@lukewright9031yes it is start off where they ended now they bout to turn up LA
@@Kaneworld23no, do your part instead of trying to watch it through others..
They put the truth in the movies
So goood!!!...he sometimes looked like Denzel
Got 'Under the Silver Lake' vibes from this one, they both have similar themes in common. Great subversive film!
Am I the only one who couldnt believe that this was the same dude from the new Star Wars Trilogy? This dude can ACT! I mean damn!
That was him?! British people man! Great actors.
This high-key should have been under horror. The best movie I've seen in years
Crazy how the movie came out they really cloned Jamie
The white guys with the Afros were blacks already turned
My sister and I SCREAMED at the ending of the movie like "If that's tyrone than WTF IS THE GUYS NAME WE'VE BEEN WATCHING THIS WHOLE TIME?!?!" 😭 Gotta pay attention watching this.. I still genuinely don't know what time they are living in..I saw b2k poster but got a 70's vibe but they used lingo from today..
That was intentional. The clones were all replicated from different decades. Thats why you can't tell the time period
The ending was kinda shaky like you tell me all those people weren’t in state of shock after seeing clones or a underground laboratory and I also felt like the people agreeing to go underground should’ve had more pushback. It would take some major convincing for people to believe that it’s a laboratory underground making clones let alone actually going down there.
Your comment contradicts itself. You asked why weren't those people in a state of shock after seeing clones from an underground laboratory, but then say it would take some major convincing for people to believe that there's a laboratory underground making clones. You answered your own question. People aren't shocked upon first hearing the news of the cloning center underground, because they don't 100% believe it at first.
Isaac shot n killed taine obviously if he wants to shot again it’s not hard to know something is going on
What a dope movie man. Really didn’t expect it to be that enjoyable
Yeah it was solid!
This movie was brilliant 👏
It's about how the government places certain thing in the black community
Just finished the movie and it was super good, 10/10.
Agree, it was a great movie!
Who else is paranoid after watching this?
This movie will definitely make you feel that way! Stuff rang too true!! 😳😳
I remember that Popeyes chicken craze years back, and I thought at the time, "Something is wrong with this. I'm not going anywhere near that chicken"!!! People were breaking out into fights, lines to get it were ridiculous. It really just seemed like a chaos experiment, and we went for it.
The programming is deep when you have to ask yourself, "Is this ME acting a fool, or is this my programming/social engineering"? 🤔
I'm simply impressed by the breakdown, despite the non-seasoned voice over. Spot on. Right on.
The fact that it’s TRUE!!! And it’s beeeeen goin on…. It’s not a movie… it’s the TRUTH ON FILM!
I don’t know if it’s worse to find out your life’s a lie and you’re a clone or to find out your life wasn’t valuable enough to clone
Damn ain't think about it like that.ooof,hard to say which one's worse
would rather be in the latter situation lol
Art imitates life🤔 vs life imitates Art..🤔 this is really happening . Putting it right In your faces🙃..
the decade is 23 years old now this is the time for a higher form of thinking and films like this push it to the limit
You mean century?
This is like the Black Version of The Matrix.
This was brilliant.. call me crazy but I think there's truth behind this.
Of course it the truth we are TYRONE
In my opinion you’ll be crazy not to see the truth that’s behind it.
fa sho!
How so?
@@djbibsspecial it’s all in the movie in front of our face. Look at how we acted over the Popeyes chicken sandwich. Someone actually died over that sandwich when it came out . That’s just one example
Your ending commentary was on point
Tyrone Sequel anybody ?! 😂✌️
No
Slick Charles maybe 😀
They throw the truth in your faces in a movie so you won't bother noticing it
That little boy that was with Fontaine was the Biggest Star & character in my opinion. He filled so many roles. That was deep to me.
He was only in the movie for 5 minutes what you talking about
He was the happiest with him. Any other time he looked stressed. Someone could be in ur life for 1 minute and make a huge impact. He fill many roles in my opinion for Fontaine.
You're spot on Kimmy b/c he genuinely laughed with the child showing a child's innate ability to bring that out of us. The only other time he laughed was in the restaurant when he was under the influence. The child's role was very significant. Since maybe the only other one that was not cloned besides Yoyo.
@@LovelyNspiration He laughed with the kid once he realized he was a clone and took control over what he was programmed to be.
The main movie was Atlanta. The scenes after the end were showing that the same thing was going on in Los Angeles.
John Bodega is now one of my new faves. Parris and Foxx were also amazing!
Yeah all three of them did incredibly well!
finished this today and i’d watch it again !! that shit is real life !! what happens to us to our world smh if we all come together as ONE instead of letting them divide us we’d WIN. ! but we’re all to selfish and or scared !! it’s saddening fr jesus is coming though ❤❤
Yeah, we're pretty much all under that mk ultra trauma based mind control.
They're just willing to straight up tell us now.
That's kinda deep and scary. 😳
I loved everything about this movie from the main cast to the film look it was really well put together. Simply amazing.
Totally agree!
Seeing them play back that thang up in church made this movie a classic to me 😂
John boyega really got to shine as an actor. Pretty good range
Definitely!
This movie definitely deserved a theater release!
Yeah it was definitely good enough for one!
Good movie Jordan peel style 🔥
Definitely!
The last scene was about the transition or disease spread in the for of Gangsta Rap. Notice they always mention Memphis as the next move. The psychological herd moving of the new face of Gangsta And Slut Rap. It wrapped back around from the beginning on Gangsta Rap(the first brainwashed clone) Los Angeles. After LA Rap it came to the south ATL dominated New Orlean kic the door open. Chicago and Detroit but the move is Memphis style of Gangst Rao and Slut Culture. Giving the same dish or program with a different season.
I also only read the synopsis and DID NOT expect all what happened on the movie, there's a lot of sociocultural critiques that can be extracted from this piece; it's a very raw movie if you go down that rabbit hole.
Shame this couldn't have been released in theaters.
It did. For a week. Came out the same day as the Blackening.
