Title aside, we'll never see the likes of Tupac Shakur again. The late rap superstar was a complex, contradictory figure and, throughout the course of this riveting documentary, it's as if he's back in our world again. Produced by his mother, former Black Panther Afeni Shakur, Tupac Resurrection isn't so much "biased" as it's subjective. In the MTV film, accompanied by a book and soundtrack, director Lauren Lazin looks at Tupac's short, full life from beginning to end and doesn't avoid the dark times--the arrests, the shootings--but she does tend to emphasize the positive over the negative. More to the point, the narration comes from Tupac himself, smoothly edited from countless interviews, so we're constantly getting his take on events. He's more thoughtful and articulate than his detractors might expect (despite the profanity), but the contradictions remain, making this essential viewing for even the most casual of fans. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
******************
I've been a Tupac fan since the first time I heard "I Get Around" on "Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z." and caught this movie on VH1 last night. It was a really good examination of Tupac as a person from birth until his death. It was an MTV Film in association with Affeni Shakur, so they used tons and tons of MTV interviews and soundbites, which made the film that much more real.
I still want to see Tupac & Biggie, which was released a year earlier and delves into the rivalry and various conspiracy theories.
