Yea, L.A. is VERY overexaggerated. Most of the cities in the states are. Like Kill was saying, there's cities in other countries that are much worse. As an example, where my moms is from, Honduras, 18St and Marasalvatrucha are DEEP. Most of their members down there are ex-cons from here who ended up getting deported back. Not only do they have to worry about each other, but they gotta worry about the cops killin' on sight. About 4 days ago, a Prison caught on fire. 102 prisoners died. It's being speculated the Government set that up. It's ruthless out there. They'll slice you for some change. What's poor here in L.A., is actually living good down there. There's no middle class. You're either rich or poor. Hell, bums out here live better than the bums out there. Shit!So, yea, don't be afraid of Crenshaw etc. Snoop and the rest of these guys just tell stories. Don't get it twisted though, you can get done up if you act stupid, but that's anywhere.
^^^^Well, I watched Training Day with the commentary track, and the director said he was actually hoping that the figurants (the Bloods and the little kids who were on the set) would be inspired to also do something with movies or acting. So maybe it wasn't so bad at all...Still...like you said, it's crazy to see those real Bloods, not just some actors they hired.Btw...I saw Colors (DVD) in a store the other day, but I didn't buy it because I wasn't sure if it's really worth the money. Have you seen it?
