"We Grown Now" is visual poetry, a gorgeously shot and sensitively acted depiction of a childhood friendship in flux. The indie drama from writer-director Minhal Baig was nominated for Spirit Awards this year for best feature, cinematography and editing. It stars Blake Cameron James and Gian Knight Ramirez as lifelong best pals whose bond is tested within the increasingly dangerous confines of Chicago's Cabrini-Green housing project. Co-starring Jurnee Smollett, Lil Rel Howery and S. Epatha Merkerson. Opening in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago April 19 before expanding nationwide April 26.

Speaking from experience as a 12 year old black boy in 1992 that grew up in Chicago: sneaking on the bus was FAR easier to do back then! Used to be you wait for people to block the mirror view while you jump in from the back exit door as people were getting out. Not like I EVER did something so disrespectful or bad like that!?😜

@@BreakfastAllDay The trailer felt like a time travel portal. I didn’t grow up in the projects but I know exactly what the south side Chicago was like at the time. Can’t wait to watch it!

That was the case with this one movie theater where ppl. would sneak in from the exit doors when ppl. came out. Now in my city SF, most ppl. get on the back of the bus exit and don’t pay. Drivers don’t say anything anymore and the city encouraged a few years ago to have ppl. Get on through the back to speed up getting on the bus. But now the city is saying they are loosing money bc many are not paying. So that plan didn’t work out but everyone is so used to not paying to ride the bus.

@langleymneely 5 месяцев назад

@@jacknjill3000 oh wow. Here in Chicago the new thing is sliding your phone over the sensor and pretending that you paid. When my phone wasn’t working properly I wound up doing that several times before realizing it wasn’t working.

I think 12 year old kids taking public transport is only weird for Americans. In Europe kids younger than 10 take public transport all the time (including rich kids, there is no stigma around public transport, everybody uses it).

I don't agree with his perspective on the movie. He's not a black man so I'm not surprised he can't understand. Also, I was extremely wise for my age when I was about 7. I grew up in the "Hood" so I'm sure he doesn't understand, We rode buses to football practice at the age of 7-8. We had to learn how to navigate through the city on bikes and learn shortcuts, as well as traffic, flows at a young age. Being a young black boy from the "Hood" it is an extremely different experience so I'm not a fan of his review at all. He compared these to Mexican and Italian films. With two different upbringings, he obviously has no sense of black history and is viewing from the outside looking in, instead of putting himself in the situation/Shoes.

I grew up in the Robert Taylors, in the 80's and 90's. I was the kid who wanted to get out!...luckily my mom got that opportunity in.'93 we moved away...so I loved this film. Only things wrong were a few small details, like clothes, we wore nikes or reeboks, maybe adidas. Not Chuck Taylor's, that's a west coast thing, and they didn't give men apartments in the projects, the whole point was to remove the man from the house.

I haven’t seen this movie but seen the trailer. I grew up hanging at a housing project in San Francisco from the early 70’s to early 80’s (didn’t live there) as a young kid. So I was there almost everyday after school and had many friends there. We were always looking for something new and exciting to do and I called back then adventures when we went to the other parts of the city. It was an adventure bc we used the city to see new places and other areas we were not familiar with with the cost of .05 cents to get on the bus with a transfer ticket to get on another but within about an hour. So those adventures and the everyday going ons in the project were a special and only shared with the ppl. living there and the friends you went on these adventures with most of my friends had brothers and sisters and a single mom. So many had very little money and having a dollar for them would’ve been a lot of money. I came from a middle class family and we own our house and it was paid for. So I always had money and was considered the rich kid. So those times were the best growing up partly bc we used our imagination for fun bc we didn’t have money. And few movies are made on these urban experiences and of so they have the same theme of gangs and drugs and violence. But don’t capture the positive parts bc once ppl. know that you live there. much of what most ppl. are afraid of about being at these projects don’t apply so much, unless you have beef with someone, but that happens everywhere. About 30 years ago, many of my childhood friends had a reunion at this beach /park. It was great to see everyone after all those years. Also most of us were the good kids from the neighborhood and their only crime was being poor. One of my friends wanted to make a film one day about how we grew up but never did. But he felt there was something special about the way we grew up and during the 70’s. We all came from different background, but made it work. One friend lived in an apartment across the street from the projects but everyone knew. He was half Samoan and German and very unusual back then and living with his German single mom from Germany. I could go on and on, but I had the best childhood and a big part was hanging out in the projects with my friends and the ppl. that lived there. So many ppl. you connected with and got to know. Everyone faced with the struggle to survive, but is kids just made the best of it and we did.
