In Reply to: Was just reading a review that said it may be the greatest American film ever made and yet it was never released posted by sjb on April 22, 2007 at 09:20:45:
I'm not entirely sure I (and I emphasize the I) would call it the greatest ever (that would take a lifetime to determine, I think). It's definitely got something to it, though.I could see where some of Singleton's inspiration for Boyz N The Hood came from (one of my favorites). One thing that did stand out was how heady and deliberate it was without beating you over the head with any messages or sermons and for a student working with no budget and non-actors, it was very, very impressive.
Follow Ups:
There's no way I could declare it the best as I haven't seen enough films and even if I had who can really say such a thing.I would say that in it's way it's among the best I've seen.
One of my favorite scenes was the little girl singing along with "Reasons" by Earth Wind & Fire.
