      People make life and we make life harder for others. People like to blame God for everything, even cancer. Especially when a life saving drug is not on da market because companies haven't found a way 2 dilute it and market it. Its like dat old proverb, a lion refuses to be king because he's afraid of not ruling well and it's too much responsibility and da little fox agrees because he gets to play his games on everyone in da kingdom

    I’m sobbing because when I was a kid I stayed up all night reading this. I couldn’t stop turning the pages. I was stuck. All the joy and sorrow that were sewn together that night hit me when I hit play. Black boys deserve more, I was gifted more in the escape of storytelling but so many boys like me never got the chance. Nearly 20 years later, so many boys lost later, so many marches later and this story still rings loud.

    The cast is stellar, but I can't watch anymore Black trauma movies. There is more to being Black than pain and suffering! Contrary to popular belief, we experience joy, love and laugh in spite of the BS laid at our feet. It would be nice to get some representation of that, but people seem to get off on the pain instead.

    This is based off of an amazing book. I’ve read it and it challenges the idea of perception and how everything is not what it seems. The story never gives you a clear answer on whether or not he was involved and it is up to the reader to make the decision. I’m really excited because I absolutely loved the book.

    The movie was great overall from all characters but there’s so much more that could’ve been explored in terms of relationships, interactions, character development, character’s actions, etc.
    Almost felt like there had to have been deleted scenes cuz some parts of the movie move so fast.
    Also they could’ve explored some characters more, such as the quiet dude associated with King, King’s past, King’s life, Harmon’s relationships, more of these character backgrounds, etc.
    Great movie overall though!
