AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
sakatristan I must say i thought it was very interesting to see this movie. I've only ever been a fan of 2Pac's music but have never taken my time to look at his life. As he said in the end of this movie "There is a Tupac in everyone" He did reach that spot in me. But I wonder if his killing will ever be solved. My guess is still Orlando Anderson. And now i really see what his contrubution has been to the world of music an discrimination. I wonder what have happened if his 3 albums where released while being alive. And if the rumors about Suge Knight had part in the plan of killing Tupac. But the next question about this man for me is would he still be famous in his world of music in the generation of music in 2006. One thing is a fact Tupac Shakur is a legend.
luv3076 I am a big fan of Tupac he made his movie Tupac resurrection on my B-day i love his movie's their really great i vote a 10 because i fill the heart inside for Tupac. He was a great movie maker and i hope that everyone likes his movies and they fill inside their hearts to vote a 10 or at least a 5-10 well i hope that he gets the highest vote and i really can't believe that this all happened to Tupac he was a great person and some day the love one's of Tupac will all be with him again in heaven cause that's where i believe that Tupac is right now smiling down watching all of us every move we make he is watching us all so before i go i just wan't to say is god bless all the loved ones of Tupac and he shall rest in peace with others!
GHCool I don't listen to rap. The only thing I knew about Tupac Shakur before I saw this movie is that he had been shot a few years ago. After seeing this movie, I understand that Tupac had a life worth making a documentary about, but I did not like the approach the filmmakers took. I really wanted to like this movie. Parts of it were really well done, but it was so biased that I cannot honestly recommend it. It was more like a commercial for Tupac's image than a documentary on his life.Its amazing how many interviews Tupac gave in his life. We can see that he was an intelligent and affective storyteller. However, a person's life cannot be understood just by the way that person sees him or herself. A person's life also needs to be judged by other people's points of views. This could have been a great film if only the filmmakers had shown interviews with important people in Tupac's life such as his mother, his sister, his teachers in school, the artists he rapped with, his producers, etc. It was also a little difficult for a person unacquainted with Tupac's life and the world of gangsta rap music to fully understand the time line in which these events occurred.I liked the visual style of the film though (especially that 3D effect a lot of the photographs had). Those helicopter shots in Las Vegas and of the Golden Gate Bridge were beautiful too. Overall, TUPAC: RESURRECTION is a flawed film that had a lot of potential.My grade:5 out of 10
Ronin47 There is no doubt that Tupac Shakur is one of the most intriguing, fascinating personalities in pop music history. He is made up of a seemingly endless list of contradictions: ruffian / nice guy, obnoxiously arrogant / sweetly humble, hedonist / activist, "gangsta" / poet. And most interesting is that none of these "sides" of him seem at all false. He really is that complicated.Being a fan of his, especially his acting, ("GRIDLOCK'd" is one of my favorite movies) I choose to remember the admirable parts of his personality more often, but I know that he was no angel, and I'm glad that "Tupac: Resurrection" doesn't try to paint him as a hero.Made very much in the style of last year's great documentary "The Kid Stays In The Picture" (so much so that I was surprised there is no connection), it combines seamlessly edited footage, photos that "float" around to look 3-dimensional, well-chosen music, and fluid narration to create a dreamlike and slightly eerie portrait of one person's lifetime in his own words.Unlike "The Kid Stays In The Picture", though, in "Tupac: Resurrection" the narrator telling his life story is dead.Tupac is the one and only narrator of this film (through an edited collection of insightful interviews), and it's a distinctly poignant and eerie experience to hear it, almost like he is, "Sunset Boulevard"-style, telling you his story from beyond the grave. Adding to the "Sunset Boulevard" feeling is that the story starts in Las Vegas where he was killed, and then rewinds to the beginning of his life. But sadly, you know it's eventually going to end up in Las Vegas again.This is an extremely well done, gripping documentary that I highly recommend even to people who don't care for rap music. Tupac's life story is a true American tragedy, and anyone can learn from those.
