Movie Review: Good movie!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I have listened to Ghostface Killah's Ironman cd and we would always say "man that sound like a good movie." Finally,I decided to do an extensive search to find out what movie he got that excert from.When I found it I was ecstatic.I ordered it as an early xmas present for my husband.The movie was good,teaches about the perils of gang and hood life back in the 70's.It was really just great to finally see the movie that both Ghostface and Mobb Deep used excerts from in music and tie them together
Summary of The Education of Sonny Carson
Based on a best-selling autobiography by outspoken activist Sonny Carson (Mwalamu Imiri Abubadika), "The Education of Sonny Carson" is a thoughtful and sensitive film about the early life of a ghetto youngster who falls into a life of gangs and petty crime. Rap and hip hop artists, most notably Wu-Tang Clan and Lauren Hill, continue to refer to the movie in their works. Sonny Carson (Rony Clanton) struggles to survive in Brooklyn's toughest section. The film begins with Sonny garnering honors as the best student in his junior high school, then reveals his transformation into a gangster. Soon, he enters prison for robbing a delivery boy out of $25 to buy flowers for a friend killed in a gang war. After Sonny is released from prison, he returns home to find his best girl hooked on drugs. He realizes that his life won't change unless he rises above the violence, crime, and unrest of his urban environment.
