What're some of the most accurate gang movies?
>>63010879
The Warriors
WAAAAAARRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOORRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
>>63010879
Not this.
Watch American Me
>>63010917
COME OUT AN PLAAAYAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
>>63010918
>he didn't grow up in 1970s new York
>>63010879
The Warriors is about as accurate as a cartoon. I love it, but 1970's NYC was nowhere near as colorful as the movie portrays it.
Shitty of God
Goodfellas is famous for it
>>63010965
> grew up in 1970's Jew York
> posting on an image board for autistic frog lovers
How does not making it feel, anon?
Blame it on the Streets is pretty accurate but it's not a full length movie.
>>63010918
The Mexican Mafia threatened to kill Edward James Olmos because of the gay rape scene in that movie. They really don't like that gay stuff
I can't think of any other accurate gang movies. Straight Outta Compton is accurate but most of it doesn't focus on gang shit. I wish the spike lee Chiraq movie went for a more accurate style instead of a comedy musical style, cause chicago gangs are very different from the LA gangs that are usually depicted in movies
Colors, Boulevard Nights

>>63010966
I've talked to people who lived in The Bronx during the 70s. They say it actually doesn't go far enough to show how terrible it was.
>>63010918
I strongly recommend this, it's almost a fictional documentary of that kind of life.
I've been told that The Wanderers is pretty accurate.
>>63010879
I wouldn't say it's about gangs per se, but watch Snow On Tha Bluff.
>>63011206
>The real movie event of the summer
>that poster
Was this intentional?
>>63010879
Wasn't it banned in theaters because real gangs were going watching it together and tons of fights broke out?
>>63011108
>cause chicago gangs are very different from the LA gangs that are usually depicted in movies
splain.
also, just general gang talk. i think its neat.
>>63012778
L.A. fag here. Mexican gangs aren't unlike the Yakuza. There's a class system, and those who are smart and work hard enough can rise through the ranks.

>>63012778
Chicago gangs from the beginning were typically more organized and had more of a top down structure and hierarchy compared to Los Angeles gangs
>>63010966
>>63011222
Woah.
>>63012778
Chicago gangs are more racially mixed than they used to be. No bloods or crips. They don't wear colors anymore. They dress and talk different
>>63010918
>>63010988
I'm looking specifically for movies about black and Latino gangs.
>>63011108

Where do you learn this stuff?
Everything I know about street gangs I learned from this movie
>>63015154
Have you seen the remake?
How does it compare?
>>63015223
worth watching, and Laurence Fishburne's performance is excellent. Still not even a fraction as good.
>>63015283
Do you think it's more accurate to modern gangs?
>>63015223
A lot better than it has any right to be.Certain characters die who you expect to make it.
Michael Franceze (actual Columbo family ex-capo) said Goodfellas is the most realistic and historically accurate mob film.
>>63015312
In the remake, it's a squad of corrupt cops so it's not a very good comparison.
WHITE BITCH
GIVE ME SOME CHON CHON
>>63015317
>>63015344
Thanks guys.
I'll check both out.
>>63015329
Mobs and gangs aren't really synonymous now are they?
>>63015411
EHHH TELL HIM TO SUCK HIS PEEPEE
u ever get ur shit pushed in?
>>63015418
I mean they are gangs, just of a different sort. They referred to themselves as "gangsters" in Goodfellas
>>63015080
Gang documentaries, the news, happenings in your area, etc
>>63015472
Well, okay.
>>63015668
I didn't even think to look at the news.
Could you recommend some gang documentaries?
>>63010879
>warriors
>accurate
Fuckers could've just caught a cab.
>>63011108
The Mexican Mafia's head in San Quentin literally had a faggot thrown in with him so he'd have someone to fuck.
>implying it wasn't fun
>>63015736
it was the only gang movie i could think of to start the thread
>>63010879
Crows Zero

American movies?

Who was the worst kid in this movie? I think it's the one that killed his grandmother.

I don't know if they are all accurate, but here are some good ones from all over the world.

Jesus Christ, those comments.
>>63016856
thanks babe
>>63016419
Still worth a watch bredderen
Snow on tha bluff
>>63017886
Maybe one day, but it won't help me now.
>>63017913
Fine, I'll watch it.
>>63017937
Snow on tha bluff is less about gangs, but a very good movie, and ridiculously accurate in what it portrays. If you've been around these people you'll understand and appreciate it more.
>>63017991
What people? Black people?
By the way, I might as well say it, I'm writing a script that includes gang members and former gang members.
I'm trying to do research because I don't want to spread misinformation and have everyone hate me.
>>63018073
Black. Seriously, just go into a black neighborhood or go to a local, somewhat run down mall. Try buying some weed or better yet, some crack from some guys on the corner (keep your ccw on you.)

>>63010879
Westside Story
>>63018123
I'm black.
>>63018240
If you are in America, this should be no problem for you. Now you won't be shot for your skin color.
>>63018278
I'm not buying drugs.
>>63018240
>have everyone hate me
Don't worry, we already do.
>>63018367
Then you aren't going to understand the subject material and will have a harder time making something genuine. Good luck with your script, OP, I'm gonna go purchase some narcotics from the local corner boys.
>>63018422
I'm not writing about drug dealers, but thank you.
Have fun with your drugs.
