Review of Fresh (2009) by Roman T — 15 Oct 2016

Bad main description of the movie to begin with. This movie brings the reality of living in the projects to our homes. Although fiction it characterizes the issues that occur when living in the projects.

What stood out to me is how due to fresh being 12 he was very intellectual and he understood what was expected of a twelve year old and how he could use the stereotype of 12 year olds being simple and only worrying about girls and candy.

I liked how fresh didn't shed a tear when the girl died or his best friend instead using that pain as a fire to ignite his plan to get him and his sister out being patient even when seeing his sister being provided drugs and used by men, and only allowing himself to be 12 after his plan has unfolded.

I also find it interesting how a large amount of the reviewers use film terminology excessively knowing that the majority of readers are not formally educated in film, but if it sounds smart we don't dare disagree for we want to be attached to link of what we perceive as intelligence but in reality is simply a facade to someone with a need to be perceived as intelligent by people they will never meet.

Knowing that someone will be impressed gives them a reassurance that all that time in film classes didn't go to waste.
