SUPER CONFUSED


So I was about to give it 3/10 because I though this is such a lazy movie for killed the main character at the end of the movie.

But I thinking about if again after I realize that this is based from a true story. I was like "Oh, so this is based from a true story. Then it's ok if he ended up die just like in real life".

But then again, NO. Apparently, Theo is played by Theo Ikummaq himself. So how come he died??? Am I missing something?

Can't answer that, but would like to suggest that you either write "SPOILER ALERT"[ spoiler]SPOILER ALERT[/spoiler] or click the little Spoiler tag if you're going to give away the tragic ending. JEEZ!

Spoilers: To me Theo's death at the hands of the NY muggers, simply to steal his new sneakers, was to drive home the irony of his trip to NY. He spoke about excessive consumerism everyone seemed to participate in and it was that focus on material things, desire for his shoes, that resulted in his death.

On a deeper, unspoken level, it is a commentary on our whole society where we seem to be wanting more and more "things" with less focus on the relationships we might make with other people in our lives. The two thugs killed Theo, all of us are killing the world for the things we want but don't really need.
