Movie Reviews of Tupac - Resurrection (Widescreen Edition)

Movie Review: 5 stars, nothing less.....
Summary: 5 Stars

The film starts off with Pac in the car, with his classic reflective song "Starin Through My Rear View" playing in the background, just before he gets shot and then starts from his childhood in chronilogical order up until his death, literally a visual autobiography. He sheds much light on his life as a young child, his Black Panther heritage, and what the purpose of his music was and stood for. Many of his troubles with the law do indeed take a back seat here, and for good reason. These are things that the press only seem to look at, while choosing to ignore his talents and the positives of his music. We already know he was very controversial, and that he had alot of trouble with the law. Finally, we get to see it from his point of view. He admits that some of his troubles were his fault, and that he didnt take responsibility for some of his actions. At the same time, he points out that some of his cases were unwarranted, and that he was not at fault. For those who have only had a negative view of him, it is highly suggested that you see this movie. Even for those who know much about him already, even if you are a huge fan to begin with, there are some things about him you will definatly learn here.

This isnt about Tupac the artist. It's about Tupac the HUMAN BEING. Overall, Pac was a extremely intelligent, well-read deep thinker, with a charismatic personalty, a sense of humor, and an extremely sensitive side to him. He was also a very angry, confused indivdual as well, and why he was all these things is broken down perfectly in this film.

Tupac wasnt a perfect person, and he made many bad decisions during his life, something he admits during this film. However, we all make bad choices in life. Overall, I think Pac gives an honest (brutal honesty is something you can ALWAYS expect from Pac, whether in his interviews or in his music) view of who he really was. He was far from being the loud-mouthed, ignorant gangsta that the press and the rich, right-winged conservatives put forth (and continue to put forth even today). What he was/is, a revolutionary, a poet, and spokesman for the oppressed young people disenfranchised by the older people who refuse to listen to their pain, and for those who "grew up on the otherside of perfect". Why the mainstream media and upper class conservatives continue to loath his ideas and what he stood for is beyond me. Ignorance and blindness is perhaps the best explanation for that. In any case, love him or hate him, you better start getting used to him, because he is now considered a legend by many, and his music will continue to be played and bought for years to come. He is considered by many to be the biggest musical icon of the last 15-20 years (he's arguably the biggest icon since Michael Jackson), and is perhaps the Elvis Presley of this generation. His voice and words will continue to be heard forever. His legacy wont be dying out anytime soon.

For those who seek to understand him and what he stood for, this movie is a must see. For people who already follow him, it is still a must see.
