Juice

Juice is a classical urban movie that everyone has enjoyed. Director Ernest Dickerson did another magnificent job on this 1992 film. He clearly showed the life in Harlem, New York in the 90's and the center of life of music and poverty.
The lighting showed the hardship and the life of poverty in New York. It showed how in one minute you're in this dark place and the next minute you try to be bright but your light gets dim trying to hide your emotions to the world. One example is when Raheem ( Khalil Kain) died and Q(Omar Epps) and Steel( Jermaine Hopkins) was at Raheem house pretending that they was okay but really was dis drought.
The sounds was as hard and truthful as can be. The music told the feeling of the atmosphere and of each scene. The dialog between the characters was frank and straight forward . Most of all truthful.
The costume designs was great. The New York style in the 90's was hip and hoppy. You can see the conversion between the late 80's to modern days. Clothes not too baggy but not fitted either. Salvation Army for some reason was calling out real loud.
