Duvall documentates street life in the 90's!
This movie is one of the best movies, in history, to display what life was in a ghetto kid's childhood. It ranks up there with The Warriors and The Boyz in the Hood. It shows reality for a poor person in the that era. Hopper is a genius, and he uses Hollywood to show a message. Most movies just sell dysfunction, but this movie shows survival and human nature. It shows what some people had to do to live through their existance, not some emulation of rebellion, which is what entertainment now sells. I was(or still am) a Crip, and this movie couldn't have said it better, and it still teaches a lesson the way old entertainment USED to do(just like Good Times!?). Jamie Fox's Tookie Williams movie is the closest movie to this. Beat Street is one of the last movies to even show street life, with a good message in the end. God Bless REAL Americans, whom fought through what they were given, dispite what they got!
