What I do not like?
The end. The story unfolds in a somewhat bizarre. Almost surreal. Unreal luces. Nor all I
like the way it is sold as a biography when it is clear that !ust will not be. I understand that
"# cent was in the group of friends or ac$uaintances of %minem. %minem was supposed to
be its disco&erer or at least that's what he said in an inter&iew. And is not mentioned at any
time. In fact the only one with the features of %minem's ri&al and left in pretty bad place.
And especially the biography (was fine( where the protagonist is a tough guy when he
does do bad things moti&ated by the loss of his mother. but this is a particular &iew of the
topic.
In short the film is not all bad and worth to spend a moment entertaining. Nor is a gem of
filmmaking he sent negati&e messages.
I hope you ha&e en!oyed.
