7/25/2023 0 Comments Paid in full movieWhen Rico (his close friend) found out all he thought about was the money he could make from all of those breaks. This scene happened at the end of the movie when Ace got Mitch drugs to sell in order to pay the ransom to get his brother back. There was also another scene that was a lot more powerful and the director displayed it very well. Image 3 shows one scene where Ace got betrayed by a friend because of money and then left for dead. Throughout this film there are scenes when the people in the movie get greedy and double cross a friend. This is when another motif comes into play: “betrayal”. It was fun for them to do that every once in a while but ironically money and drugs were the one thing they killed for. In image 1 above, we notice that the three men are throwing money into the air and laughs as it falls to the ground. Both of these objects were thrown around like it was meaningless (more so the money than the drugs). Drugs and money where the main focus on this film, the three men wanted money so they resorted to a life of crime by selling drugs in order to see have money feels like. The movie display many motifs some of the main ones are money, drugs, Harlem slang, and betrayal. He played his character fine, but as he acts we can see the fakness. This was one of the biggest downfalls of this movie to us. We honestly hated his acting in this movie. We wished Cam’ron was played by someone else. The way Ace played the character worked in the movie though, because he gave off more of a secret look and acts like he is all about his money and doesn’t care about other foolish things. As for Wood Harris, he was great too, now we don’t know if it was intentionally as a character but Wood Harris, or “Ace” played a character who doesn’t really talk and/or do much. Mitch was the one who made the movie for me. Cam’ron just gave the movie the mood of it being a rap video, which it was not at all. He gave the evil and deceiving look that the movie needed. Mekhi who played as “Mitch” was one of our favorite actors in the movie. The director did have a great pick on the main actors because these three worked well with each other and looked good with each other considering what the film is about. Wood Harris was phenomenal and so was Mekhi Phifer, but Cam’ron had a lot of off moments in the movie. The acting was good enough to make this movie acceptable.
