I was relieved that jail time was relatively short, so that it wouldn't overpunish & destroy DJay's dreams/hopes as represented by his new music career. The song getting local airplay showed that he did have a chance; his dream was possible; he didn't have to stay stuck in his criminal lifestyle. His life would be the result of his own choices, not someone else's choices. The use of blond girl to "sell" his music did parallel his pimping, but it being legal made a difference to me, as did her ability to do something well that didn't involve selling her body. That the actions of DJay & the 2 women didn't involve criminal activity was a big factor for me liking the movie.<BR/><BR/>Overall, I never saw it as particularly about the power of art; rather, about people who thought they had no choice exercising that choice.Liz Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16671844475303001610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12461652.post-1153511226147353692006-07-21T15:47:00.000-04:002006-07-21T15:47:00.000-04:00I've heard this one is good!
