Prison Song

Summary: 5 stars, a good Samaritan in his ironic life
Review: A movie so sad, yet so good. With real reactions from the characters and the harsh effects, this movie touched aspects of life we wish we won't ever go through... I respect the movie for how much reality it had: fears, tears,all things we could be cowards to admit. I respect the movie for its creativeness in songs and situations, but for the most part,for showing me how glamour and fame should be the least thing we should focus on in our lives, after all, we all each just have one life or one death.

Summary: Tragically Moving
Review: BET's Prison Song offers a look into the life of an inner city teenager, Elijah, (Tip) who gets stuck in the system after his mother is institutionalized. Sent to a private jail after accidentally killing someone (Fat Joe) from his group home, Prison Song follows Elijah as he comes to terms with the harsh realization that even though he is innocent, the only way out is to escape. The tragic ending of this unusually un-musical musical leaves the viewer wanting to break the cycle, but ultimately feeling helpless against it.

Summary: True to life...but a bit predictable
Review: I first saw this on B.E.T. and then I picked up the DVD. I was't a Q-Tip fan, but he gave a strong performance. But it would be an injustice to view this movie for its entertainment value. The message should be taken to heart.

Review: I loved this movie when I saw it on BET. I love Mary J Blige and loved the music. I had to have it. It was worth the purchase because I have watched it a million times! The message is a great one and it always makes me cry at the end! You won't be sorry!

Summary: One of the Better Examples of a Prison Film
Review: I saw the edited version of this film which did little justice to the actual film which I found to run like a stage play not to say that this is a bad thing. Prison Song is one of the better examples of films on the "prison" theme. I would say the best one was perhaps the classic Cool Hand Luke, but in post-modern times we have OZ which some of said has lost some of it's focus. Though Prison Song is not as in depth as perhaps OZ is, it's still worth at least a rental. For those who are irritated by musicals, you may want to consider renting before buying. If you do purchase this film, you won't be disappointed.

Summary: The Best I Have Ever Seen
Review: Prison song is the most amazing movie i have ever seen. I have seen it a ton of times and still every time, i cry. It has such a moving story line, you get absorbed in it the second you turn it on. I have been searching for the soundtrack, but especially the artist and songtitle of the closing track during the credits. It is a beautifully written and acted movie, i recommend it to anyone who is interested in Q-Tip or the movie itself. You will never forget the impact that Prison Song has on your life.

Summary: Great Movie - awesome music
Review: Prison Song was a great movie with a good cast and awesome music to go along with the emotions of the characters. I've been trying to find the soundtract to the movie but have had no luck. This is a type of movie you can watch over and over agian and still feel all the emotions of the characters. It goes deep into the system and shows the violence within it. The fight to stay inocennt is taking away with one second of wrong doing.
