For my movie I chose the movie Jamesy Boy which is on netflix. This movie is inspirational and teaches you a lot of life lessons. James starts off as a troubled kid that can't get into any schools because he's on house arrest and because everyone knows about who he is; just a bad kid. James meets Crystal and Drew after they rob a convience store, and after that he cuts off his house arrest band and goes on his own with Crystal and Drew to meet the guy they do runs for which his name is Roc. Roc is the kingpin you can call him. James starts working for him doing runs for him and becomes really close to Roc. He starts becoming Roc's second hand man doing all types of drug runs for him stuff he thinks he wants at the time, but in the long run he really doesnt want. Crystal the girl he thought loved him who really didn't love him turns her back on him because he wants to live a normal life with the girl he met that is a cashier at the convience store named Sarah who he is actually in love with.Then he goes to do a run for Roc and screws up and takes all these guns and tries to go sell them and then its a set up and he ends up getting caught and sent to jail. While in jail there's a asian gang that is trying to kill him and he gets in a fight with them to protect a new white kid that just got to prison. They go in the shower trying to stab James but the new kid ends up getting stabbed. James ends up going to the hole and meets a guy down there that gives him real life lessons and it really gets to James and he starts re-evaluating his life. After being in there for such a long time and after watching the white kid he was trying to protect hang himself James wants to turn his life around. Crystal wrote a 12 page statement blaming it all on him so she saves her own ass. James really develops as a person in there and changes and wants to be the man he always wanted to be. His parole hearing comes up and his mother wants him out so badly and when the parole hearing comes around he talks to them and convinces them that he is a changed man and wants to do better with his life and is released. Once released his old "homeboys" try getting him to get back into the game but he doesn't want it he wants to live a straight edge life. At the end he meets Sarah and finds out she's engaged and he reads her a poem about her and then after that he moves to NYC the place he's wanted to live his entire life and he gets a normal job and finds writing poetry a really good coping skill for him and he uses it to keep a straight edge life. This is all based on a true story. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1673734/
We could ask: 1. What made James make the decision to want to be apart of the drug game? 2. What different emotions does James experience while he's locked up? 3. What are the main influences that made James want to become the person he is today?
