True?


This might sound a little odd but I was wondering about the scene where Keanu Reeves notes that everyone is sitting on the floor and the boy answers that's so they avoid bullets. Does that really happen in some areas of America?

What are you stupid?

You must be from Connecticut. =/

Yes, yes it does.

They're called GHETTOS.

y does cosmic_quest have 2 b stupid?
maybe s\he is from an area where there r no low income people.
and it does not have 2 necessarily be CT...
there r low income areas in CT...there are low icome areas everywhere!

and they ARE NOT ALL called ghettos....

Or he or she COULD live in a low income area... low income areas aren't always the projects. or they could be the projects, but not designed like that. I have to say, gluba, that was a PRETTY dumb comment.

Hell yea it does. Its not like that in my neighborhood, but I know places like that. I used to live in Compton, then Watts, and stuff like that happens

Or, just like me, he/she doesn´t live in US (hey, people outside US read IMDB too!) so, it´s hard to understand this reality. I used to hate rap but thanks to this movie I understand now the origins of the lyrics, so I am going to explore this kind of music more...I am still singing "I like when they say big pappa..." :)
Good movie, but, can Keanu Reeves put some emotion in his face once in a while?

an area shot for a movie isnt always portrayed as it is in reality...

Does that really happen in some areas of America?

...because they arent aware of places in which this happens doesnt mean they're stuid... not all people live in that type of setting

Well, for sure it`s true for south america :)
Of course it`s also common to teenagers to be the ones shooting. (Not where I live, but in some parts of my country (brasil), yes...)

I live here in Chicago and i have driven past the projects where they made the film. Here in the CHi its gotten to the point where all the projects are being estroyed because they have become too dangerous to the city. Its funny too because the cabrini green projects are less than a mille away from downtown.
Buy black people and hello rich whites who are back in the city
