I've seen this movie years ago,and i luv it !!
This movie was so touching, to where its not even funny,and whats so sad about it is that,the same things that happened in the movie is happening in real life as i speak..its funny people can change..but not the polices..
I do remember ...
I was less than ten-years-old when this movie first came out. But I remember it so well. Such a sad story, that still has relevance today when innocent Black youth are gunned down in cases of supposed 'mistaken identity' and 'I thought he was reaching for a gun.' (Amadou Diallo)The sheer heartache of losing a youth with promise to unnecessary gunfire also resonates in movies like "Cooley High" and "Boyz in the Hood." Highly recommended for those who are interested dramas from a young man's perspective. Also highly recommended for those (like me) who are simply fascinated by Larry Fishburne the child actor, who is now Lawrence Fishburne the adult cinematic superstar.
Good film about the importance of friendship and manhood
Aw later for you, Leonard Maltin! This movie is GREAT! This is an important story about friendship and manhood. Young Larry Fishburne's admiration of "Cornbread" rings true with any child who had an older friend to admire as a role model. But the outstanding part is where Fish's mother (Rosalind Cash) tells Fishburne to go to the courtroom stand and BE A MAN and not to be intimidated into giving false testimony of Cornbread's death at the hands of the police as the other witnesses were! This scene borught tears to my eyes and a "standing-o" from the audience I saw it with. This scene alone, with the message it gives to young people about integrity, is worth the price of admission alone!
