[@ProspectFilmRoom]

The initiation scene was filmed in Fort Greene in Brooklyn at the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument. The monument was built to honor the deaths of over 10K colonial citizens who died in British captivity after they were captured during (or after) the Battle of Long Island. The environment in the park eventually "was tough" for local residents in the 1970s and 1980s, was full of graffiti, and suffered through "...some of the worst years of the crack era..." until it got cleaned up in the 2000s.

[@RonnieMyers777]

Damn I didnt know about that, RIP

[@JoaquinTazabi]

I lived right near that park when I moved to Brooklyn (S. Oxford bet DeKalb and Lafayette). It was tough, no doubt, but anyone calling it a "shithole" is broadcasting who and what they are.

[@ProspectFilmRoom]

​I mean, the term shithole is subjective. People call NYC a shithole entirely. Fort Greene was defined by violent crime and the crack epidemic for years. Born and raised in Brooklyn and patrolled South Baghdad. If you asked me to pick 1990s Fort Greene or 2006 Baghdad, I'm picking Baghdad 10/10 because at least I'd be armed. Sorry you're offended but the rocks of reality can be jagged. It's better now but history says it has a violent and criminal past. Can't sugarcoat that part, sorry.

[@JoaquinTazabi]

@@ProspectFilmRoom Interesting that you'd be afraid in Fort Greene Park as a grown man. I was there as a kid 13/14 in some of the worst years of the crack era without a gun or anything else. Again, you reveal who and what you are by your statements.

[@ProspectFilmRoom]

@@JoaquinTazabi Listen, I get the fact that you're offended somebody insulted your old neighborhood, but I never said all of Fort Greene was shitty...just the park which is 100000 percent true. You also kinda self-owned yourself by denying it was a shithole then somehow bragging about you being brave enough to walk the streets as a teenager during a crack epidemic. That is, unless you truly think a crack epidemic simply makes a neighborhood "tough" instead of shitty. Nobody can rewrite Fort Greene's history, even those who lived there. And now it's gentrified as fuck with multi-million--dollar brownstones, so how do you like them apples?
