...engaging and discerning culture, as a way of life...

Menace II Society - 5

A sad but insightful movie about the drug and gang wars of the Ghetto in Southern California. This movie gives a bleak(and maybe accurate?) picture of how hard turning one's life around can be. One's life is a combination of choices, experience, character, and environment. And this never makes anything easy or simple. Often life doesn't let us be, or line up with our hopes, but then sometimes it does or goes beyond them and we are engulfed in the continuing mystery of a story bigger than ourselves. Once again, we are left with the question, "How to choose life?" (See the Trainspotting Post)
