Movie Reviews of Tupac - Resurrection (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Very Good Look At This Tragic Star
Summary: 5 Stars
I just re-watched this last night and let me say, its still just as powerful as it was when I first viewed it. If all you know of Tupac Shakur is his time at Death Row Records, his sexual abuse case and his death under the specator of the East Coast/West Coast thing, then you need to peep this.
A lot of people don't know that was actually a trained actor from a very prestigious arts school in Baltimore, MD and not just some thug who got a part in a film because he was a rapper. Don't believe me? Then watch the film as he's shown with classmates such as Jada Pinkett-Smith (that's right, Will Smith's wife) and other stars that are big now. They also show him with established stars such as Jasmine Guy (Whitley Gilbert from A Different World), Mickie Rourke and even Madonna in her younger days.
Admittedly, I wasn't a huge 2PAC fan as I felt he was a bit overrated as a rapper (though he was FAR better than the crowd that we got now, especially Kanye West)! He was, however, an intelligent and (when he wanted to be) very articulate man. Not a bad actor either. That makes this even more tragic.
Just my opinion but he, in part, brought about his own death. While I have no doubt he was set up, a lot of choices he made towards the end of his life contributed to his early demise in my view.
Anyway, its probably the most comprehensive look at this guy that you will ever see in my opinion. This one gets high marks from me!
Summary of Tupac - Resurrection (Widescreen Edition)
"This is my story. A story about ambition violence redemption and love."Tupac Shakur rose from the ghetto fought for fame and fortune and became the number one best-selling hip-hop artist of all time. He was insightful and sensitive and spoke with an uncensored voice of truth.During his brief life he touched millions of young people around the world. His influence and importance have only grown in the years since his shocking untimely death.Now for the first time Tupac tells his own dramatic life story. Narrated entirely in Tupac's own voice this major motion picture is the only film made in collaboration with Tupac's mother Afeni Shakur and the only film to feature Tupac's music and electrifying concert performances.Special DVD Features:Audio Commentary by Tupac's mom Afeni Shakur director Lauren Lazin and Surprise Guests4 Deleted ScenesExclusive InterveiwsMalcolm X dinner speechDepositionAbout the Resurrection soundtrackMusic VideosRemembering TupacMutulu Shakur interveiwTupac Amaru Shakur Center for the ArtsTrailersBootleg This!Widescreen Version Enhanced for 16X9 TVsDolby Digital: English 5.1 Surround English Dolby SurroundEnglish SubtitlesSystem Requirements: Running Time 112 Min Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DOCUMENTARIES/MISC. Rating:?R UPC:?097363433743 Manufacturer No:?343374Title aside, we'll never see the likes of Tupac Shakur again. The late rap superstar was a complex, contradictory figure and, throughout the course of this riveting documentary, it's as if he's back in our world again. Produced by his mother, former Black Panther Afeni Shakur, Tupac Resurrection isn't so much "biased" as it's subjective. In the MTV film, accompanied by a book and soundtrack, director Lauren Lazin looks at Tupac's short, full life from beginning to end and doesn't avoid the dark times--the arrests, the shootings--but she does tend to emphasize the positive over the negative. More to the point, the narration comes from Tupac himself, smoothly edited from countless interviews, so we're constantly getting his take on events. He's more thoughtful and articulate than his detractors might expect (despite the profanity), but the contradictions remain, making this essential viewing for even the most casual of fans. --Kathleen C.
