IHRE BEWERTUNG

In mid-90's America, bookish high-school student Jolie Johnson knows the only way to get in with the gangsta crowd is to make the varsity basketball team. Making the team not only means approval from the inner-city crew of Maple Avenue, but also gets him a step closer to being the one thing he is not Â– black.

Wissenswertes
References Tupac multiple times in the movie, in one reference the lead quotes the Tupac song 'Rather Be Ya N' and uses the expression 'Thugged Out' throughout the movie which was first coined in another Tupac song 'Can't C Me'. And while this movie takes place in 1995 neither of those songs were released until 1996.

Spin it old school

Milkshake is a period piece that takes the viewer to the 1990s. The setting is a high school where the main character Jolie Jolson, who is the great-great-grandson of the famed singer Al Jolson is an odyssey of self discover. He has that high school angst where he balances independence while staying between the lines establishes by the authority figures in his life. Jolie balances life, relationship, and sex as he deals with the present and plans for an unforeseen future. This movie brings out a nostalgic view of the simpler days of the 90s, when a less connected world made for more leeway on learning from youthful indiscretions. I saw this film as part of the Atlanta Film Festival
