John Singleton was a guest on the Tom Leykis Show as this film was being released. He said Columbus University is a microcosm of America. Callers said that nothing like this happens on any campus (in 1995) . John told them he is just showing the direction its going and will go if society cannot change.

[@conair8240]

Do you know where I can find it, sounds interesting.

[@karmicobsession1636]

it's sad that he was right

[@edboy992]

And we here we are 2019 and all the prophecies this movie claimed has come true

[@pauly260]

The callers were right. John didn’t want to face what was really holding down black America; poverty, systemic racism & environmental influence. Instead he shot a movie in an imaginary college where cartoonish skinheads & outrageously racist students kept the black man down. I’ve been to no college slightly resembling Columbus. Probably because John was too busy living in a good neighborhood collecting millions in film profits to make a movie more in touch with reality. I swear, this film was the black version of “Birth Of A Nation”.

[@Nani17548]

What an underrated film with a real message .

[@racheljessie5536]

Yeah there was a message! But we didn't see it! The message was... "Yo, this is what we about to do to y'all and we're gonna profit greatly from it! Hope you ready" They place the ideas when we are young. They get reactions from the initial idea. Then they implement! They modify our social structures, push the narratives, bring in actors, disease, they change weather accordingly even! You and I and every person you've ever known have always been slaves! We just couldn't see the chains! We are all stuck. Nothing is real. I mean it's really happening to us, but it's all fabricated! Haven't you heard, nothing new under the son. And nothing happens by accident!

[@herintuion88]

Agreed …

[@Soulsphere001]

This movie shows where fear, ignorance, and racism leads. It leads to hatred, violence, and murder. Let's all free ourselves from the fear of people who are different from us. We're all equals, so let's start treating others with respect.

[@pauly260]

If only the black characters had done that in this movie,,,

After all these years this film still gives me goosebumps ive still got the soundtrack compilation album 2 this movie

[@racheljessie5536]

I bet that's a good one! I'd like to see those tracks just to bring back some memories. I'm a chronic album and doggystyle kinda person. Some say I'm stuck in the old school and I agree. It's easier to live there! Especially with BPD which I know a thing or two about. Hell, I think the 80s bred BPD for real.

[@arronhernandez249]

Was watching this movie from 95 last nite. In 95 me and many people thought it was stupid and unrealistic , but singleton was ahead of his time and was sending a message back in 1995. The guy is a genius. 2020 is a must see movie. 2 pac was supposed to be the main character but he was facing rape charges.

[@tyliekinc.]

Oh yes! Tupac was supposed to be in the movie that so called rape case was bunch of BS! Could you imagine Tupac, Ice Cube, Michael Rappaport, Laurence Fishburne, Andrew B. (the guy who would play leatherface in the TCM remake & prequel), Regina King, Busta Rhymes, Tyra Banks, Jennifer Connelly, Kristy Swanson in this movie it would of been more epic

[@racheljessie5536]

Y'all really think Singleton just thought this shit up? How do you get could see the future exactly? You're seeing this backward, by design of course but backward nonetheless. Movie are introducing ideas intro the minds of the young and over time throughout the lives of those same young people are influenced in certain ways and it's all done to cause chaos and confusion! Take a look pac. I loved pac. Love love love pac. But with lots of research I realize he was a fraud! He played it well cause he was an amazing poet and was also trained in acting and drama! Now don't hate. Like I said, research! Tupac was a gay man n truth be told gangsta rap and what is now just called hip hop is a majority gay industry. That explains why "bi*ches ain't shit but h"es and tricks" was the basic theme of gangsta rap. Pac and big were put in place simply to influence! To change and drive the paths of the social minds of this country! And look how well it worked! How many lives lost over that dumb ass east west beef? How many men dead or in prison to this day over east west shit? And pac isn't dead! He just stepped away! We have been played all along! Because those up top make more money and are entertained by drama and chaos! It's sad really! But you have to know that war, death, chaos, fear.... All of those things are very lucrative industries. Every part of our lives have been manufacturered! We are all experiment!

i am an African. my country is Kenya. i watched this movie way back whn i was a lil kid. i have never experienced racism. but i knew n still know it (racism) is bad. through this movie, n thru many atha movies too, that gat the same theme, i have come to learn one valuable lesson: that we all are brathas n sisters, n that there's joy in peace. if y'all watched the movie to the end, you w'da learnt the same lesson...and maybe, we w'dnt be seeing the obscenities n profanities being posted here.

Just saw this movie twice on tv. It's a really powerful movie. It shows both sides of racism, black and white. I think similar to the professor, i treat everyone equal as long as they treat me equal back. I will never judge anyone based on the color of their skin. I just hope one day, everyone can live like that. Don't judge a book by it's cover, an old saying but it's rarely followed.

[@Richard_John_Dick_Grayson]

8-4-20 I first saw this movie as a little boy, and then I saw it as a grown man. After seeing it with adult eyes, the only character that I liked in the movie (and the most realistic about how the world really functions), is the Laurence Fishburne character. Every other character was pushing some form of the neo-marxist agenda, or the master race bs. The afrocentric group and the skinhead group, were both reflections of each other. Both groups were made up of racists, and were poisoning their members with hate propaganda-- through the "victimization" mentality.

[@IamChloePrice]

This is a very powerful movie

[@samuel2pac72]

This would've been much better if everything would've gone as planned and Tupac Shakur & Leonardo Dicaprio where to portray the charterers, these roles were specially written for them. No disrespect towards Omar Epps & Michael Rapaport they did a decent job.

I was in the university when I watched this movie. And even though by then, we had violent cults in Nigerian universities, the idea of a singer assassin or a lone gunman killing students sounded farfetched. So we scoffed at the movie. As an entertaining movie, we enjoyed it but didn't get the message. Now what seemed as fantasy then is a scary reality now . I agree with the earlier comments who said that John Singleton was ahead of his time and that the movie is prophetic. Sadly, they both are.

I rewatched this movie late last night until early this morning. I must admit this movie was good and I understand the overall message. Violence begets violence. Some of the characters in this film were level headed like Professor Phipps and Dajia, Malik's (Epps) girlfriend. Professor Phipps in particular was not just trying to tell Malik but all of his students that the world will not cater to you because of who you are as a person in terms of race or ethnicity. And he's right. If a school like Columbus University existed in real life, I would either drop out if I was already enrolled or avoid it like the plague it is. Films like these also make me thankful for online education and how you can get your degree entirely online nowadays and maybe even in less time than if you did the traditional four year college. And you can take online classes at a well known school.

I believe this film was designed to teach us a lesson that some don't want to hear. And that lesson is Hate always escalates and the people who are truly lost are the ones who arent even apart of it. Those who make the choices to hate black and white change their perspectives and sooner or later, violence happens. And its the innocent that get caught in the crossfire, or the ones who havent yet found themselves.
