Brilliant
Please disregard the above review. Either the viewer likes being spoon-fed his films, or was not paying attention. Note that the viewer didn’t even attempt an understanding of the title “Belly,” which was the central theme of the film. The viewers others comments can stand for themselves.

In all honesty, the first time I watched this film, I actually turned the volume down — I was enraptured by the way each scene was composed on the frame. Visually, this movie is stunning. The director has a striking style, and besides that, he is PRODIGIOUS — there appears to be no end to the ways that he can make his compositions rich in visual entertainment and information. I can enumerate a list of techniques he used here, but that will be an exercise in boredom for today’s cyber-nauts. Even more important, the compositions are never created for their own sakes, which was my initial criticism the first time I saw it — they really do propel the film. The style is integral to the story. Get the film and you will see what I’m referring to; if you disagree, say so in your review.

80% of the film seems to be a riff on the hip-hop video aesthetic (never mind the fact that the director greatly defined the recent shape of this aesthetic) and myth. In it’s third act, however, it uses the very same conventions — outlaw figures, ostentatious style, and violence — to confront and question these aesthetics. In the climactic ending, this criticism is embodied in the confrontation between one of the heroes of the film (DMX) and a figure symbolic of actual figures from black history. The director actually used an anachronism to face down a contemporary hero, and argues for the relic.

What the film argues for, as embodied by the final speech of the Minister character, is a message so powerful and relevant — particularly to the very people who will associate themselves the most with this film — that it will leave you breathless. It is a timeless message passed down from antiquity, framed by the most daring and contemporary of directors. It is an exhilarating juxtaposition.

What of the title, “Belly?” A belly is what a pregnant woman has; it is the external shape of soon-to-be-born child. It is the womb, the source of life. It is the promise of what is to be, as well as the origins of what is. If you abstract it, it’s shape will be that of a circle – the symbol of wholeness, of the journey to individuation. It is the same difficult journey that the movies’ anti-heroes take.

BELLY is a powerfully visual, yet simple tale about redemption. Not to be missed.

Classic Hip Hop/Rap culture movie! Excellent!
Despite any other negative reviews I truly enjoy this movie! The plot line parallels Scarface very closely but is done in such a different way that the movie has a feel of its own. The acting is excellent, and not just for rappers. All the performances in the movie can hold their own without any pretext. The plot in fast paced and intricate with twists, turns, ups and downs. The language is graphic but not unrealistic for the type of characters portraited. All in all this movie is entertaining from start to finish and all of my friends that have watched it with me have enjoyed it (even those that don’t like rap at all).
