Get Rich or Die Trying

**Diakonos** · 11-15-2005, 11:28 AM

I saw this movie over the weekend (very entertaining). Since this flick is suppose to be 75% biographical, I tried to figure out who the characters in this film were supposed to represent in real life as I was watching it. Of course some characters were easy to figure out. 50 Cent was obviously represented Marcus (played by 50 Cent). I also believe that Ja Rule was represented by Dangerous (the rival rapper played by Michael Miller).

Has anyone else seen this movie? If so, help me figure out the following?

Who was Majestic (played by Adewale Akinnuoye) supposed to represent?

Who was Bama (played by Terrence Howard) supposed to represent? Was he supposed to a member of the G-unit (Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo)?

Who was Levar (played by Bill Dukes) supposed to represent? Also, did you get the impression that Levar was Marcus’ father?

Who was Odell (played by Russell Hornsby) supposed to represent?

All of these characters were involved in serious criminal activity. I wondered throughout the movie how much of it was fact, and how much of it was fiction?

sorry, I am not interested in trash-culture.

It probably all bullshit. It just adds to his whole gansta image he has

**BigDyl** · 11-16-2005, 10:22 AM

What's so special about him, that he deserves to have a movie made about his (fake) life?

Same reason Eminem did, people care. Maybe not you, but some do. I personally don't, but see the appeal to some.

**lnvanry** · 11-16-2005, 12:32 PM

the movie will flop at the box office

He is a laughable character...He'll be lucky if the movie will even get close to barbershop status.

Movie looks awful. I like some urban films. They just don't make them like they used too. Eminem ruined with that horrible film "8 Mile". I like the older films: Juice, Boys in the Hood, Menace to Society, New Jack City now they were great movies. Get Rich or Die Trying, Nigga please.

Dale what about your move "Get sodomized or die trying" ?

**lnvanry** · 11-16-2005, 02:50 PM

speaking of 8 mile...anyone who has lived in or near the D know 8mi is a hang out spot...a cruising street (8 and Gratiot).

THat movie played it out to be tough and ghetto. Its not!

Personally I think Eminem is better at his "profession," but I agree that there is nothing special about him either.

**maniclion** · 11-16-2005, 03:10 PM

I like movies like Purple Rain and 8 Mile about a talented artist and where their inspiration came from, but 50 Cents is not as good of an artist that he deserves his own SEMI-Autobiographical movie, this will go down like Mariah Carey's Glitter.

**BigDyl** · 11-16-2005, 05:00 PM

50 mumbles his lyrics. It sounds like he's about to fall asleep when he's rapping.

Me and my ex-gf rented Barbershop 2. It's the only movie ive ever turned off in the middle and returned to the video store out of pure disgust.

What a brutal movie.

That's why I call him Mush Mouf, he should take his horse toofed dentures out when he raps so it's not so muffled.

No because they are the same if not worse

It sucked, and Frederick the Entertainer is overrated in my opinion. I mean he is OK but I don't think he is leading man material.
Ice= worst actor ever.
I think Chris Tucker is funnier than Frederick.

I don't think 50 cent is as good as they make him out to be....I wonder if the recent Payola scam had anything to do with his popularity.

**KentDog** · 11-16-2005, 07:06 PM

50 Cent (rapper) is fake. Do a search for the real 50 Cent who was a real life thug who really got shot 9 times and walked around wearing a bulletproof vest. This guy was supposedly a huge badass. He would walk down a block in broad daylight robbing every single store in a row. He ultimately got betrayed and murdered by a close friend. The rapper promised to give the real 50 Cent's family some money for assuming his nickname but he never did.
