The smartest people can make idiotic decisions

"Rob Peace" is a drama that immerses you in his story and takes you to the suburbs of the United States where life isn't easy. This film, directed and starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, wasn't well received by audiences upon its release, but the streaming company Netflix decided to give it another chance, and it hasn't disappointed, reaching the Top 10 most-streamed films in several countries.The film tells the story of Rob Peace, played by Jay Will, and his life in the suburbs of the United States. At a young age, he witnesses the arrest of his father, Skeet Douglas, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, accused of the triple murder of women, to whom he promises to get him out of jail. From then on, the film shows how Rob develops his life as an academic prodigy, so much so that he is the first in his neighborhood to enter Yale University, but he does all this while bearing the weight of his youthful promise. Over time, he relieved this burden by consuming marijuana until he ended up smuggling it to earn the money to help his father.This is the second film directed by Chiwetel Ejiofor, and there's nothing to criticize him for, as there are scenes that touch the viewer's heart, especially with a story as powerful as this one. It's a story based on the book "The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace," which tells the true story of the young prodigy Robert Peace. Actor Jay Will's performance as Robert is exceptional. Besides being a character who wins the viewer's affection, his performance makes it difficult for the viewer to suffer as well, or to love as well, as the viewer empathizes with him.At the time, it was thought that this film would be a failure due to its low global gross of just USD 422,329. Netflix, as stated in the first paragraph, saw a different spark in this project and decided to purchase the rights to have it on its platform. Against all odds, the film reached the Top 10 most-streamed films in its debut month on Netflix, managing to survive even when no other company had faith in it.In conclusion, this is a film that indirectly teaches us to always persevere, because if they hadn't continued promoting it, even after its box office failure, Netflix would never have been able to release it. The story is very well done, with excellent photography, and it also teaches us several lessons, including that even the most intelligent and brilliant can make decisions that leave them feeling like a codfish.

Up The Ratings, People

This is most definitely a better movie.than a 6.5 the current reviews are showing. There are some similarities to others shows (e.g., Breaking Bad) but this here is based on a true story. So this is the real story.Life is a challenge. Sometimes I think about how I could have easily chosen a variety of paths. And how my sister turned out so much differently than me. Or how I could've ended up a story on Dateline for a bad decision or risk or trust I gave to someone. We are all very lucky to be alive, honestly. For that sometimes I even feel bad, because better people, more worthy people than me, didn't make it as far. I think there is a lot of untapped gold in "poor communities". The best investors would know that. Fools.So, what I'm saying is that this movie is thought provoking. Watch it for yourself and share your thoughts afterwards.I don't want to mark my review as saying there's a spoiler, so I must hold back. It's worth watching.
