Tupac could’ve gone very far as an actor. His range from a straight psychopath in Juice to such a likeable character in this movie shows that.

Last thing: the "punani" joke at the beginning. After Janet asked if Tupac wanted to smell, she had the other girl expel her breath into his face. The implication being that Janet's kitty was on the other lady's breathe, further implying they were lesbians lol

“She’s got great music taste.” “She’s Janet Jackson” Good point 😂

John Singleton made Poetic Justice to show the Black community from a woman’s perspective. Building on the losses from Boyz N the Hood, Justice represents the women in the hood and the trauma they experience from losing loved ones to violence. Through her poetry, she expresses grief, resilience, and the struggle to find healing and love in a harsh environment. Death, violence, loneliness, sirens, AIDS, alcoholism, domestic violence and drug abuse. Singleton wanted to highlight the emotional complexity of Black women and show how they cope with pain and navigate relationships while carrying the weight of these experiences. He did an excellent job explaining why so many of us have “bad attitudes,” showcasing the emotional layers that shape our behavior that often goes unrecognized. The true JUSTICE is finding love in spite of it all through self love or finding a Lucky. Contrary to popular belief, even in the most dangerous cities, there are more “Luckys” than “Caines”…just everyday good guys who go to work and stay out of trouble despite the hardships and trauma surrounding them. That’s what makes them Justice ⚖️ and Lucky 🍀
