      from Movie to the OST

      Just after watching this movie, there is nothing new in terms of emotional lines, but fortunately the appearance and acting skills of the actors are good. The great thing about this movie is its theme: "When did you first fall in love with Hip-Hop?", the whole film has been around the hero and heroine’s pursuit of the origin of Hip-Hop. As a Hip-Hop fan, you should watch it. , What is discussed is not those commercialized things, but the real Hip-Hop. A group of Real Hip-Hopper appeared in the...

      Insensitivity to hip-hop and lack of knowledge make it impossible to enter the show or appreciate the OST, and this vulgar childhood sweetheart from the best friend to the final love is a kind of bloody plot that I dislike the most. The favorite part is the pun monologue of the heroine, not only talking about the hip-hop that I love, but also about the person I...

      The plot is so mentally handicapped, I can’t blame the two protagonists for not being able to play (´-ω-`) The supporting actors Mosdaff and Latifah are qualified and eye-catching. I suspect that their lines were modified by myself. . Although the movie is not good, if it is someone who likes them like me, it will still be very enjoyable. Some passages are absolutely stunning, the ho is mine made me laugh and pass...

    Creative background

    One of Michael Elliott’s original intentions in creating the script for the film was to change the audience’s perception that "the sweet and beautiful love in the movie only happens to people of non-colored people", and to impress all people with "the most romantic feelings." ". In addition, it is due to my love for rap music. The director Rick Famuyiwa also became interested in the film because of the rap music component of the...

    Evaluation action

    "Brown Sugar" has been hailed as the black version of "When Harry Meets Sally". There is no suspense in the plot itself, and the result is clear at a glance. It is a typical romantic comedy dessert   . (Netease Entertainment Review)
    The film was shot with a black audience as the subject. Whether it is from the selection of two black actors or the penetration of hip-hop music throughout the film, this can be easily found. But obviously...

    Movie quotes

    • Sidney 'Syd' Shaw: [narrating] So, what is the difference between rap and hip-hop? It's simple. It's like the difference between saying you love somebody and being in love with somebody.

    • Sidney 'Syd' Shaw: What just happened was the most amazing, most fulfilling, most exhilarating... 5 minutes I've ever had in my life.

      Dre: 10 minutes.

      Sidney 'Syd' Shaw: 7

      Dre: 9

      Sidney 'Syd' Shaw: Okay, 8, whatever.

    • Dre: One minute you talkin' about you-you want things to change and the next minute you talking about you want things to stay the same.

      Sidney 'Syd' Shaw: I do want things to change, I just don't like *how* things have changed. And and and... and I didn't know this is how it would turn out.

      Dre: And that's why we need to look *back*. Okay, 'coz if we look back, then it will make us see things, the mistakes we've made, things that we never knew were there before. And if we just... can *stop*, then maybe we can find that thing that we both know is missing and build on that.

      Sidney 'Syd' Shaw: Are we st... are we still talking about hip-hop?

      Dre: That's all we've ever talked about.
