He collected huge concert venues, his albums on CDs sold in million copies. In addition to rap, he actively acted in film.

All these achievements were reflected in the film. Other important events were also shown. However, because of their saturation, almost everything that happened to him was shown only casually.

The film "2pac: The Legend", reviews of which are mostly negative, is built in such a way that Tupac himself talks about the rapper's life, who is interviewed by a reporter, while 2pac is in prison.

The influence of Tupac's creativity on world culture

His harsh remarks, sometimes cruel and fullrudeness and immorality texts, were not so because Tupac is such a person. With these tracks, he tried to demonstrate the real life of the African-American ghetto, where lawlessness, crime and poverty reign.

He lived only 25 years, and he did musiconly a few years, but during this time he managed to leave such a bright trace in the history that he is still listening to millions, and the number of fans of this rapper is estimated by tens of millions of people in all countries of the world. And this is 20 years after his death.

He was so productive, he recorded so much material during his career that even after the death of the musician, the studio continued to release his albums and mixtapes for another ten years.

The film "2pac: The Legend": reviews of the audience

Despite the fact that the film was shot prettyqualitatively: a nice picture, an excellent cast of actors, the correspondence of the plot to real events from the life of the rapper, the film was criticized both by the spectators and by the professionals.

About the film "2pac: Legend "reviews on the web are mostly negative, of course, there is little in favor of the film, but they are usually left only by the ardent fans of the rap artist who do not pay attention to the minuses of the tape.

It should be noted that in the West the film was adoptedmuch cooler than in Russia. Perhaps this is due to the fact that there are many more fans of Tupac in America and people are much better acquainted with his work and life. In Russia, however, the audience was more loyal, but the negative is still more than positive.

Viewers' opinion

The main claims to the film are based on the fact,that it turned out to be too boring and superficial. Indeed, although the film is filled with facts from the life of a hip-hop star and a movie, but in this many have spotted the main mistake.

Bayopik "2pac: Legend ", according to the viewers who watched it, turned out to be too oversaturated with facts, because of the abundance of which there was absolutely no" soul "and atmosphere of the feature film in the tape.

The film "2pac: The Legend": reviews and reviews

Opinion of professional film critics is not toodiffers from the audience. Most critics also point out that the film turned out to be unnatural, a sort of chase after enumerating the facts about Tupac.

However, a huge flow of negative is not justifiedthe fact that the film turned out to be frankly average, but overestimated expectations. After all, the legendary rapper and the tape should have turned out to be no less worthy.

In general, the picture came out good, but not decentthe Tupac level. Of the advantages is not only a colorful picture and good camera work, but also an excellent caste. Actor Demetrius Shipp Jr., who played the main character, played well his role, and his external resemblance is so great that you involuntarily start to think that before you is a real, living Tupac Shakur.

The rest of the actors also played well. Many noted as a plus that Jamal Woolard was invited to the role of B.I.G, who in 2009 performed it in a film devoted to a rapper. In many ways, the film about Tupac is compared to the movie "Notorius" (2009), which was accepted by the public much better.

Opinion of critics

At the same time among the ratings of film critics - only 18% positive. The rest of the reviews are negative or neutral.

It's no wonder that with such a reputation the filmhas typed in world hire only 44 million dollars at the budget of 40 million. As a result, the film did not pay back the costs of its production. In addition, he is now considered one of the worst biographical films of the year.
