The Fact That The Movie 'Chiraq' Was So Bad.....

[Splackavelli]

It would have been a lot better if I were included.

I got a camera at the crib. Let's make a sequel

I'm the producer Leon tibbs the 3rd and we are funky fingers productions. Now uhh... Howard where did I put my card?

Howard: "BAM!"

I bought the Chi-raq dvd this weekend. I have to say I really like the movie. Some shit could've been left out or changed but overall that was a damn good movie IMO.

Even though its named Chi-raq the movie ain't just about the shit happening in Chicago hence Angela Bassett talking Bodymore and Killadelphia and a few other cities in the movie.

 

[TheGOAT]

As weird and dumb as it was, it was his best movie since Inside Man

Sam Jackson & Dave Chappelle's cameo were best parts.

He shoulda never called it Chiraq. But he obviously titled it that to get some publicity. Thats the only reason anyone has been talking about this movie at all.

Spikes fall off has been real.

I will always remember him for Crooklyn & Clockers mostly

I agree with angela in that scene though I hate that "chiraq" shit. niggas always proud of negative destructive shit. why would you be proud your city has that reputation?

I have to disagree it wasn't his best. it was his weirdest also wtf at that musical " oh girl " musical number that was worse than that "good or bad hair" shit from school daze. I didn't appreciate that general king kong shit and I fast forwarded on that love making boxing match part. i'll have to read or see a film on that greek tragedy he based this on to understand where he's coming from with this but this is weird . weirder than any thing else he's done in movies like girl 6 , he got game with that team line up scene in the beginning, she hate me, etc......

I said its his best work since Inside Man

...he put out much trash after inside man

 

[Splackavelli]

i was a little off. its not based on a greek tragedy but a greek comedy called lysistrata. its about a woman who holds off on the sex to end the violence of the Peloponnesian war.

When certain people are morally bankrupt they will take pride in damn anything that gets them noticed by the dominant group. Some even play it up more to get more attention no matter how they are being made to look like fools and being laughed at and not laughed with.

The movie wasn't bad. The biggest complaint was that he chose Chicago as the setting; I think he should've created a fictional city inspired by Chicago (and other cities).

Yea he shouldn't have attached the name Chiraq to it, or shot the movie

No need to create a fictional city to address a real problem in Chicago and many other cities as well. The problems the movie is based off is bigger than Chicago which was stated in the movie. So in actuality the movie is not even about Chicago. Its about ALL black people who out here living like that.

Why some of yall so caught up on the name and not the damn message?

 

[TheGOAT]

No a fictional city would have been better but only half the people would have checked the movie.

Spike tried to play it both waus in interviews when he was getting backlash from Chi-natives. He was saying its not about Chicago... then why the fuck is it called Chiraq?

He said its not a comedy... But it was

Satire = comedy

Nothing funny about kids murdering eachother in Chicago

And even tho he sets it in the Chi nothing about it was authentic to Chicago

 

[yellowtapesport]

At least the movie got some alleys and gangways cleaned in the Chi

Because it is the city with the biggest name with a nationwide problem at the moment. California wasn't on the only place with a Crips and bloods problem but the movie was set in LA. The title is just an attention grabber.

Also a satire doesn't only equal comedy.

Simple Definition of satire

1

: a way of using humor to show that someone or something is foolish, weak, bad, etc. : humor that shows the weaknesses or bad qualities of a person, government, society, etc.



2

: a book, movie, etc., that uses satire

Full Definition of satire

1

: a literary work holding up human vices and follies to ridicule or scorn

2

: trenchant wit, irony, or sarcasm used to expose and discredit vice or folly

Now which definition do you think Spike used for the movie?

No matter which one you think Spike used the message of both is some people are doing some dumbass shit.

Bamboozled was good satire imo

Chiraq not so much. Felt like a comedy with a couple heavy scenes.

The movie did have its funny parts but lets be honest if that church scene didnt get through to niggas that murdering kids and each other needs to stop asap then I dont know what to tell them dumb Chicago niggas cause nobody else is addressing the issue to the public but Spike....my point is yall niggas trying to shoot the messenger

This movie did not end poverty in Chicago so , the movie and its agenda failed
