Unrealistic movie


I mean I like Tupac, but still, usage of the word "bro" on his part is unrealistic. I lived in New York City, only Hispanics (and I mean non-Visigothic Hispanics, you know Garcias and Riveras not Velezes and Cortezes) and Italians were talking like that. Not blacks or whites. Luckily, Tupac is said to have not enjoyed that experience.

Means Tupac is a smart guy. I would expect better, but of course the director is a dumbass.

A. It was Tupac's first film so to be professional perhaps he stuck close to the script as written.

B. Your gripe seems to be more with the writer and director.

and 3. Only dumbass around here seems to be you. Seriously, if Tupac's use of the word "bro" throws you off then you have a bigger problem than the obvious.

When theres no more room in Hollywood, remakes shall walk the Earth.

It's that it's unrealistic.
I mean if you're insulting me though because I find it unrealistic, you're an *beep*

So no black dude in all of New York used bro? Just because it wasn't common doesn't mean you can generalize. People use different slang, not everyone talks the same.

reply

OK, maybe you got a point, and maybe I'm jumping to conclusions...
It's just I've run into so many idiots who say (1) "bro" is black slang, (2) "Bro" is white slang, or that (3) "bro" is said, by of all girls, Visigothic girls (surnames with -ez) the most.

Maybe he's not saying that, but I get jumpy.
I do think it's a bit unrealistic though

reply

I didn't say that.
And yes.
Because I've never heard black or white people say that word. Period.
Southern blacks (Louisiana, not included, since they're a foreign country in some respect, well semi-foreign) that's differnet.

Maybe he just liked how it sounds.

There's no problem with saying "bro." I hope you don't think I hate the word.

I just hate this movie because it's selling the idea that "bro" is black slang PFFT

Now Southern black people do say "bro" a lot, mostly because of the house servants who made the word popular, having learned it from the English families they worked for. Remember "bro" in its English form came from the Normans.

Unless you're quoting my disbelief about him saying it out of liking it. Thing is aside from that movie I've never heard Tupac say the word. In any of his music. Saying it would be very un-Tupac.
