THE KEEP IT OLDSKOOL OLDSKOOL "IN THE CUT" (not widely seen) MOVIE OF THE DAY



The Education of Sonny Carson is a 1974 movie that spoke of the gang life in New York City in the early 70s and its effects on the children who fell under its spell. The movie tells the story of Sonny who as a youth joins the "Lords" street gang. His violent initiation is a scene that after watching you will not soon forget. The movie shadows Sonny as he grows in stature in the structure of the gang and the deadly rivalry with another (real life) street gang the "Tomahawks" The movie would have more then likely stayed in the background were it not for Ghostface Killer's 1996 LP Iron Man which borrowed many lines from the movie "13? Dam them bastards must be runnin out of people to arrest" I have you have not seen this movie please do so. It will not win any academy awards for acting but still a great snapshot of the gang culture
