Brilliant
Please disregard the above review. Either the viewer likes being spoon-fed his films, or was not paying attention. Note that the viewer didn’t even attempt an understanding of the title “Belly,” which was the central theme of the film. The viewers others comments can stand for themselves.

In all honesty, the first time I watched this film, I actually turned the volume down — I was enraptured by the way each scene was composed on the frame. Visually, this movie is stunning. The director has a striking style, and besides that, he is PRODIGIOUS — there appears to be no end to the ways that he can make his compositions rich in visual entertainment and information. I can enumerate a list of techniques he used here, but that will be an exercise in boredom for today’s cyber-nauts. Even more important, the compositions are never created for their own sakes, which was my initial criticism the first time I saw it — they really do propel the film. The style is integral to the story. Get the film and you will see what I’m referring to; if you disagree, say so in your review.

80% of the film seems to be a riff on the hip-hop video aesthetic (never mind the fact that the director greatly defined the recent shape of this aesthetic) and myth. In it’s third act, however, it uses the very same conventions — outlaw figures, ostentatious style, and violence — to confront and question these aesthetics. In the climactic ending, this criticism is embodied in the confrontation between one of the heroes of the film (DMX) and a figure symbolic of actual figures from black history. The director actually used an anachronism to face down a contemporary hero, and argues for the relic.

What the film argues for, as embodied by the final speech of the Minister character, is a message so powerful and relevant — particularly to the very people who will associate themselves the most with this film — that it will leave you breathless. It is a timeless message passed down from antiquity, framed by the most daring and contemporary of directors. It is an exhilarating juxtaposition.

What of the title, “Belly?” A belly is what a pregnant woman has; it is the external shape of soon-to-be-born child. It is the womb, the source of life. It is the promise of what is to be, as well as the origins of what is. If you abstract it, it’s shape will be that of a circle – the symbol of wholeness, of the journey to individuation. It is the same difficult journey that the movies’ anti-heroes take.

BELLY is a powerfully visual, yet simple tale about redemption. Not to be missed.

AHHHH!!! This movie sucks
This has to be one of the worst films of 1998. It’s amazing how Hollywood allows crap like this to hit the big screen. I recently rented this garbage on DVD. You know it’s a real shame when a 21-year-old movie (Deer Hunter) looks better than a movie made last year. My main problem with this movie is that it’s like Hype’s current music videos it glorifies crime and the drug game. It’s quite obvious that Hype needs go to Director Boot Camp and improve his skills. The acting is on the level of a Soft porn flick, with only DMX giving a decent performance. But don’t get me wrong he’s definitely no 2 PAC, rapping or acting. It’s funny because this movie basically represents the way Hip-Hop & Rap is going. To an Over-glossed, unrealistic, mindless spectacle.
