Janet Jackson plays Justice a woman from South Central, Los Angeles. In the movie we see characters such as Iesha who is Justice's best friend, her boyfriend Chicago, and the postman Lucky. This movie is one of my favorites firstly because we get to see Tupac on camera acting, in my opinion Tupac is a pretty good actor. Its overall a good film its one I can watch multiple times a year and it never gets old. Its a hard film to watch find they don't have it on netflix or hulu. I had to look up a website to find it for free. This is a movie I recommend to people all the time its a great movie.

When watching movies or tv now I think about the post production and try to comprehend how much effort it took to pull of some of these shots. It is a great story portrayed by even better actors. I think about all the possible angles for different films. I couldn’t film anything on par however its fun to think about what could have been different.

The shots in this moving are slow passed there's never a shot where the camera pans faster than the wind. It’s a relaxed movie and views that back it. One of the shots I could recall is one where the camera is above a road and its looking down at the blacktop and as it slowly pans up the van drives underneath it and keeps going down the wind road in the hills on its way to Oakland.
