      That's exactly what I thought; the predator angle was unnecessary. Kionna could have been a grown woman, and his character would have still been a piece of sh!t. Making him a child predator meant that I didn't give a damn about his "redemption" later on.

    When I was younger I saw no issue with DMX character grooming the teenager because in the hood it happened so frequently and we saw it so often its like people just turned a blind eye to it or they hid it well. Now that I'm grown revisiting this movie that man was a whole pedophile! And I'm sure that teenager thought she was so mature for her age that she was attracting an older man. That is a bad way to look at it. That was a predator molesting a kid. And Keisha didn't even gripe about her age she was more concerned about the girl giving him head. Smh.

      The difference is focus is what he prolly didn't take into account.. when watching videos. Your top priority is the music.. what you hear, and Then what you see. So your mind and senses are more focused on a feeling.. when watching a movie, your top priority is visuals. What you see and then how it all makes you feel..
      But.. because of thee rappers in the movie, it prolly works for a alot of ppl cuz they are used to seeing them in music videos so it kinda flips some viewers priorities.. hence. Alot of ppl like how the movie makes them feel more than anything.

He originally supposed to play Tommy (Dmx character) but hype changed his mind and casted X instead because X was the bigger name at the time. So tryin Turner made Rico look goofy on purpose to sabotage the movie because he was salty over the recast but ironically he became one of the most quotable and most memorable characters of the movie.

    I was the only teenager in my circle of friends that never cared for this movie, because it was indeed a 1 hr. long music video. The visuals were stunning in certain scenes (namely the opener; I'll never forget the blacklight in the club and how it reflected on the men's eyes), and other scenes it was just...strange. Also, even as a young girl, I've always been big on plot and acting, and "Belly"...just didn't have that. However, it's chock full of Hip-Hop and R&B legends that I adore, and it takes me back to a time when life was virtually carefree and happy. Plus, I remember loving DMX's love scene (LOL).

      @@professorxaviour3649 In all honesty, I'm not sure if you're sincerely asking or if you're delivering a read, but either way, I'll bite. When it comes to a movie with a deep, coherent plot, "Carrie" comes to mind (the original film from 1976). Not only is the story itself engaging, but there's deep themes throughout the movie regarding blood/menstruation, bullying, abuse, and coming of age/womanhood.
      Another good film with an engaging plot is the recent film, "Missing." The plot is pretty simple: a woman ends up missing after failing to return home from her vacation in Colombia, and her tech savvy daughter has to find her. However, the constant twists and turns in the story keep you on the edge of your seat, plus I love how the story is presented exclusively with devices (computers, cell phones, smart watches, backup cameras in cars, etc.).

    Tommy didn’t snitch on Sincere . The cop asked him what were HIS aliases & he said Sincere so if the name Sincere ever came up the cops would think Sincere & Tommy were the same person !

    OMG!! This is a timeless classic, and I can watch this over and over again. Also to say that this was not a huge box office movie, without a huge budget, it was extremely good, the storyline was absolutely amazing, there were really nice homes in this movie, mansions, and vehicles. The LEGENDS in this movie. 🤯 I ALWAYS ALWAYS thought Naz was so freaking attractive, and he hasn't aged one bit. I loved his name Sincere, and my ole man's best friend's son's name is Sincere. You can literally watch this movie today, and not even realize what year it came out. Also it was shot really well, shout out to Hype Williams, who shot most of our favorite classic music videos. Shout out to OUR culture mayne. Keisha was a bad bih, beautiful, BEAUTIFULLY MELANATED, 🤎👑🤎 smooth skin, baddie!! Method Man fine ass, and still super fine as fuk!! Ox was one of my favorite characters in this movie, and he had that bread bread. It's so amazing how so many music videos, and movies are pretty much inspired by "Scarface". I enjoy it though, because "Scarface" is a classic. I also ABSOLUTELY love Nicki Minaj featuring Lil Wayne's "High School" music video which was inspired by "Scarface". Also one of my favorite R&B singers from back in the day Avant music video "Don't say No" was inspired by "Scarface" as well.

      I really liked how the movie was shot with the black lights. It was unique to Hype Williams style, you know back then everyone had their own signature thing, which I appreciate it, like Spike Lee had his signature style and his movies the way they were shot, but today we don't have that. Which takes away from the uniqueness we had in the 90s, and early 2000's. back then you definitely could not steal someone's style, it would have been a problem, and that was the best thing about back then.

    This has always been a guilty pleasure of mines!

    When Tommy was in the shower While Kiesha was on the the phone with Kiana. The news wasn’t recounting what had happened earlier. They were saying it’s a new form of heroin in Europe and it was making its way to America through Jamaica and West Indies. That’s why he went to Holler at Ox so he could get the new drugs.

    This was the only part in the movie that made me cry, when I saying how this child had no hope for the future. I knew eventually he would end up dead, or in jail.

I saw this as a teen tween, didn't peep that, idk if that's an excuse or not. But it does make me wonder: Were the men trying to protect this movie in their heads/to their fans by skipping over it?
