Loved it right. My only complaints about the entire film were that I thought it would have been cuter but perhaps less realistic if she was a good dancer, and that no teenager, now, is gonna be really into Illmatic. She had the music taste of a guy who picks music for films. A guy like me, except I'd have picked something more realistic.
It's still a nice ending though.
I might buy the dvd. Her little sister is the greatest.
But what would she be listening to? Maybe not Nas but I doubt you're anymore qualified to choose than whoever did choose. From what I've read about the process, the actress was heavily involved in building the character - the dancing came from her, etc.
But yeah, great film. Arnold is making a version of Wuthering Heights next, which I find faintly disappointing, somehow. A retreat from grappling with messy present reality.
I am more qualified. Duh.
You're middle-class, about 10 years older than she is, from North London, and you know too much about music to make a choice that would be unselfconscious.
Other than that you're qualified.
Duh.
Oooh!
It doesn't have to be the right choice it just doesn't want to be so obviously the wrong one. Touchy.
No touchiness - I have nothing at stake in this since I barely noticed what the cd in question was and am manifestly unqualified to judge what would be authentic anyway - I just think the same rule applies to "not right" and "so wrong" in these circumstances.
Or maybe your "duh" rubbed me up wrong. Duh? Da.
