I was at that station after it happened. I was pretty fucked up so didnt remember much until I read the paper the next day or the day after. Very surreal.

Fruitvale is a movie about an event that was nationally covered, and Forrest Whittiker's company made it I believe. So you can pretty much take it as a Hollywood movie anyway.

Its gotten 4 * on a lot of legit sites, like metacritic and rogerebert.com (aint he dead?).

 

[OG_Carl_Weather]

Yeah my brother went to see that last wknd. Said it was a really good film

They're playing the "Fruitvale Station" movie out in Salinas at the theater. I didn't know it was playing there until I took my son to watch Woverine yesterday.

Hopefully Fruitvale Station is still playing next weekend. I'll go check this out.


Oh, and...

LOL!

very authentic acting/writing as far as emulating bay area youth and culture.

 

[Dana Dane]

My only complaint is they said 'Breh' waaaayyyyyy too much! Even by siccness standards!

I saw it a few weeks ago in Pleasant Hill & was surprised at the ratio of old white women to black people.

I thought it was a grrrreeeaaatttt movie. I tried to watch it objectively, and not let my preformed opinion of the Oscar Grant situation affect the opinion of the movie.

yea they did have the dude who plays oscar on 106& park talkn about the movie a few days ago... N i could be wrong but i think i seen 1 of the bart cops is the same dude from 3:10 to yuma.

 

[ItAintFunOutHer]

Saw this last night, and i was in awe. Excellently filmed and almost too real. I wont lie, my eyes watered up. Ironic how they play Mac Dre and Johnny Ca$h before the shooting. It puts Oscar Grant in a better light than the media did. I could really feel his struggle as a young father trying to make it all work for his daughter. Dope movie, best ive seen all summer.
