She was burning the ends of her braids so they don't unravel its synthetic hair so it melts like plastic 😁 and Aunt June was played by Maya Angelou the woman who wrote all the poems in the movie ❤🥰

[@kam14001]

When they refer to her "bad taste in men", they mean the men she chooses are presumably in the gangster lifestyle. In danger or a risk to be around.

[@mutantx2372]

I love how her wardrobe reflects how she feels through out the movie . At the beginning she's wearing yellow which suggests that she's happy and in a good place in her life . Next she's seen wearing black which shows that she's in mourning and that blue shirt she wears means she's sad and the end she's in white which suggests that she's whole again .

[@OctoKrool]

Yes, I absolutely loved that how they used her wardrobe to tell you where she was mentally throughout the film; loved seeing her get her confidence back by the end and really putting in a bigger effort in how she looked.

[@tionak]

At 11:00 when you asked what she was doing, she was burning the end of her braids (extensions) so they won’t unravel. It’s an old school technique to seal the hair. Some people still use it today for the ends of their braids for that 90s look. So glad y’all watched this!

[@MelaninGold]

@OctoKrool At @10:57, she is burning the end of her braids. Back in the 90s, when black girls got their hair braided with synthetic extensions, they would burn the end of the braid to seal the ends so the braid wouldn't unravel. Nowadays, the braids are sealed differently, but some black girls still burn the end of their braids that way.

[@kadrae5277]

Justice's poems were, in real life, written by Maya Angelou. Justice's friend Iesha was portrayed by future Oscar winner and director Regina King.

If I remember correctly there was a bit of drama on the set of Poetic Justice. Apparently Janet Jackson demanded that Tupac take an H.I.V. test because of the kissing scene. He refused to even consider it, feeling he was being singled out because of his background. He didn't concede, the smooching commenced, and that was that.

[@iamkatura8318]

It's very true that it's "easier said than done". I was in a verbally and physically abusive relationship years ago and it's still hard for me to trust men. Whenever someone gets angry or raises their voice, I have severe PTSD from what happened. Trust me, I really want to be in a relationship, but that part of me that was hurt, won't let me trust anyone. Good news is, I'm working on it. But, it really is easier said than done. :)

[@OctoKrool]

I'm sorry you had to go through that, I know someone else who has that exact same PTSD where they kind of just freeze up and go quiet when someone yells/gets angry. I'm glad you're working on it, as long as we try that's all that matters! :)

In the 90's black on black violence was a very real thing, truly a pandemic, shootings happened everyday in real life back then so of course it is reflected in the movies from that time period! - on a lighter note The Wood is a funny funny movie WITH NO KILLING. the wood next!

I watched this movie for a class on hip hop cinema, and the characters disrespecting each other is very common, either for showing how tough and strong you were or for joking. Especially women. Back then women fit into two categories: b*tches and hoes, nothing else unless they are your family. I really loved the poetry Justice made, and all the nice connectivity of African Americans through the family reunion and the cultural festival scenes. If you can they're were a couple of movies i watched through that class I'd like to see you react to: The Hate U Give, a more modernand a very powerful movie imo, and Save the Last Dance I think it was a 2000s movie.
