yeah, it's not Boyz in the Hood or Babyboy, but some "real" producers, directors, writers and actors get together all the time with unlimited budgets and still can't come up with something this good.
shareHollywood could duplicate the staged parts of this film but they could never duplicate the "real" parts. The southern black dialects and the slang are very hard to duplicate by anyone other than people from that background.
Some of the violent scenes were staged and others were real. The street meet-up scenes were real and showed real people in their element, doing what they normally do and saying what they normally say to each other, using their own slang and ignoring the camera for the most part.
Professional actors usually don't sound authentic when they try to act like street thugs. The street people in this film were authentic. So that's what this film brings to the table that Hollywood can't match. Hollywood probably wouldn't go as far as to hire the street people in Snow on Tha Bluff. However, those same people would go on camera for free for a trusted person from their community who is well known to them.
As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. - Proverbs 23:7
like dude said before you, peep the wire! yes, in fact the producers of the wire did goto the streets of b-more and got real residents and real street pharmacists to act!
if ya wanna watch something good, it's not Hollywood but some friends are still fiming a web-series called "THE BARRE" about my current city Wilkes Barre PA, a small city with a high crime rate, perfect setting for a series using real street hustlers from the area..
