Wouldnt you say that the movie "Colors" incited and created many gangs, and attributed to the murder

Gangs have been in existence for as long as there have been inhabitants of this world. The word thug dates back to India in the year 1200 AD and it refers to a gang of criminals (Thugz) that roamed the country pillaging towns in their course. These Thugz had their own symbols, hand signs, rituals and slang. In the United States, we grew up with tales of our own form of thugs like pirates and gangsters, therefore, gangs, undoubtedly, are not a new concept. \n\nSo...no...I don't believe that COlors "created" more gangs. I think circumstances like socio-economic issues and lack of adult guidance helps to create gangs. \n\nDuvall? He's cool. He should go to sleep every night with a clear conscious.

They can. It depends on what the movie is and what type of message it promotes. I wouldn't think Bambie would incite violence or promote crime but I think movies where people get hacked up, shot, stabbed, folded spindled or mutilated might be sending the wrong message to some weak minded and easily provoked individuals especially if that is what they watch all the time.

They probably became 'violent'!

It portrayed the KKK and, unfortunately, after seeing the movie some people thought it would be a good idea to bring the group back. Before, they were just against African-Americans, but after the movie and to this day, the group is anti-everything. I hear it's a good movie because of it's age and the history, but it did a horrible thing.

Is it the color that get you in gang, or your choice?. Don't be stupid. And STOP the damn stereotyping. Not all Black people are gangs, I see gangs of all races. And IT IS NOT the color that makes you a gang, it is your decision. You are one stupid kid my friend..seriously.

Yes. Unfortunately, a lot of young people think this is quite cool--mostly ignorant, not very intelligent, poorly educated, poor young people, frustrated and disinfranchised. Looking for someone to blame.\nThey are everywhere, and come out whenever there are enough of them to victimize people. I know drunken packs of them were terrorizing people in Hollywood late last year--usually gay couples or minorities. Usually, when people fought back, they ran.

No, it just sounds like a good argument for the prejudiced and ignorant.But in support of this idea being true, the murder rate increased 10 fold after the white man stepped foot on this land!!! But I don't think that is the kind of supporting evidence they want to hear!Oh Well....

As I remember, it's about a world that has become poisoned by pollution, over populated and underfed. It is a police state where information is forbidden and those sources are illegal. At least that world gave you the right to die in dignity but you weren't supposed to know you were about to become food. I'd have thought that Heston's politics would have different because of that movie. You might try seeing 1984 and Logan's Run as well. I still think we may well be headed in that direction if we don't do something about our own state of affairs very soon.

ok..I just saw this last week, I'll tell you what I remember. Angelina Jolie's character found a book called "the bone collector" from which the serial killer was copying crimes. She realized what was next and went to the location. She rescued a little girl, but an old man w/her died.  Jolie looked around for the killer's next "clue" - which he left at every scene.  found a broken lock. went in. saw some #'s. realized it was Denzel Washington's old badge number and that he was next.  She shot the killer (who turned out to be the man who worked on his medical machines in beginning of movie) just as he was about to kill Washington.  The end.

It was a good movie, I thought. I have it actually...but to answer your question...I think the worst "gangsta" movie I ever watched was probably Tales From the Hood. It had it's funny spots but wasn't worth a re-watch and the best "G" movie would be a toss up between Boyz in the Hood and Juice. I love Juice...but I am a die hard Tu-Pac fan so...go figure.

Some movies are just violent without making much sence. It's just cheat entertainment.

Yeah, there once was an Irish gang that went by the name Westies. They operated in a New York neighborhood called "Hell's Kitchen" They were tied with Italian organized crime groups for a period. Extortion and theivery were there businesses of choice, and the first two founding leaders of the Westies  also developed a  very brutal and profficient method of killing and disposing of bodies. There mob came crumbling down when people started ratting eachother out to save their own skin. The loyalty disappeared and with it the gang.

It can be a combination of things, and in most real cases it is.  Poverty, upbringing, financial status, social status, can all have a push or pull when some one is deciding on commiting a crime.  In most crimes most people have a well structured plan of what they were going to do, which means that it wasn't some spur of the moment thing.  For example I did a case studie on Drug related crimes: selling, production and so forth.  Over 40 percent of the criminals admited that it was easier for them to sell and produce drugs than it was to actually go and get a paying job.  Now that can be considerd a social upbringin or classification.  \n\nFor some people crime is a way of life, Little Rock Arkansas has the highest rate of gang killings in the US Higher than LA, Okland, and New York.  There was a documentary that showed that little kids were raised up in gangs, hanging round drugs, sex, and crime.  It wasn't a case of these children choosing to joing the Crypts of the Bloods it was that they were raised in the enviorment.  Additionaly to the gang enviorment these children were raised in poverty, the social sturcture was messed up from the beginning weather it was parenting, education, and so on.  \n\nThen you have those that do it for the thrill of doing it.  Take for example kids killing for fun.  I forgot what show it was (was on A&E) but was over kids killing other kids for fun. 4 out of the 5 killers that were intervied said they wanted to know what it felt like to kill.  Now most of these kids were brought up living the american dream: mom, dad, house, minvan, dog, but yet these kids wanted to kill.  Now dose the killings that these kids in any way diffierent from the killing of those raised in gangs, no they were killing, but their social, education, and other aspects were worlds apart.\n\nso in short its can be alot of things that will push a person to commit a crime, weather it be petty thieving to premptive murder.

Gang life gets a lot of 'coverage' in movies, music, etc., people who havent live that life hear about it a little and then think they know it all.  \n\nThats why you see phoney ass kids (typically white) who come from good neighborhoods claiming to be from this gang or the other, wearing colors, and kicking their s hi t to  the side, and thats why they end up getting killed.  hope that helps.

it was because some guy used it to make a cult and had people kill for him.

2PAC glamorized Thug life.  We was murdered (not assassinated, People.  MLK Jr. was assassinated.  JFK was assassinated.) because of the lifestyle he chose.  Big whoop.\n\nIf he wanted to make any difference in his life, he should have told the kids to put the guns down and hit the books.  Instead of robbing liquor stores, they could get jobs in big corporations and commit high-colar crimes.  After doing a couple of years in Club Fed, they could grab the money they stashed in foreign accounts and have a real life.

Less then the NAACP would want you to believe. I live in Jersey and when the scandal broke we all questioned one thing. Almost everyone complaining of racial profiling was found to be in the act of violating the LAW.... Drugs, Guns, you name it......
