There's no intended moral to the story other than what you want to read into it. What we see is a first hand account of what life as a robber and drug dealer living in the projects of Atlanta is like. Curtis Snow steals a hand held camera during a potential drug deal, and from there he has every moment possible of his life filmed. The horror genre has many films that used the 'found footage' approach to give a sense of total realism, and although this isn't a found footage film, the approach and feeling is very similar. You get the true "fly on the wall" feeling with this so called documentary. Im assuming its based on actual events hence 4*. It was a great great movie if its real, and good movie if its fake. Many people, mostly rappers, contend that its very close to real life in the hood.
stick-up kids, coke/crack selling and the making of it, drug dealing, dealing with a child and baby momma, getting into shootouts with rival drug dealers. The film is a detailed look inside the hood.
Some sites portray the film as being real, but I'm of the belief that its like a reality show: not real but based on actual events from his life. Glad Netflix recommended me this film.Ī crazy "documentary" thats based on the life of a real person named Curtis Snow. Will need to get a camcorder with a battery life that this film had, though.Ĥ/5. This film was all about being close to reality as possible.
Still, some scenes and parts felt a bit out of place and away from the storyline.
It paints a bleak picture for those living on the fringes of American society. It offers no apologies for the actions of its protagonist, someone who is doing what he can to survive in a rough neighborhood. Snow on tha Bluff blurs the line between reality and fiction. There were some parts where I questioned whether or not this was real or fiction. An action-packed found-footage-style film.
