![]() ![]() Later on we go to Esteban's crime place, a housing project in Vinegar Hill, right by Downtown Brooklyn. But she angrily says that hes' never home, so he has no right to tell em what to do. Later on we go back to his apartment where Fresh tries to tell his sis not to touch his board. In another bone-chilling foreshadowing, we see Roscoe being a killer dog (which is a foreshadowing of Fresh killing Roscoe later on, to put him out of his misery). In what is a bone-chilling scene of foreshadowing, we see Jake staring murderously at Fresh (this might be a foreshadowing of Chuckie's murder later on). We then see a dog fight at Ricardo's, the building where Chuckie was talking about earlier. He continues it anyway, saying that he's not even in his life. It abruptly ends with Fresh saying "nigga," which his father disapproves of. Then we see a discussion about Fresh's family. They celebrate because this is the first time Fresh says "checkmate." At Sam's house, a trailer park, we see Sam talking to Fresh about all the players who played chess. ![]() Fresh then snaps out of it and starts playing like he should, almost beating Sam, except for one move. Sam is annoyed that Fresh is not himself, and tells him that if he's gonna be all messed up, not to play. Next day, we see Fresh back in Manhattan with his father. Perez tries to ask Fresh what would happen, but Fresh is too scared to talk. He notices that Rosie was also killed, and he tries to resistate her. Jake is so evil, that when Curtis beats him, he takes his gun and shoots him three times mercilessly (however it's not graphically shown, that's why it didn't get an NC-17 for bizarre behavior). We then see a basketball scene, where Curtis is playing against Jake. We then go to Nicole's home, in which her boyfriend, James, a distributor of drugs, berates him, calls him ugly, and then we see a sad scene where Fresh talks to a low self-esteem Nicole. Later on he implies a desire to kill Fresh if he doesn't tell him where his sister (who he wants to bang) is. In some ways it's a lie to manipulate Fresh, however there is some truth - Jake is extremely evil and kills for the most evil of reasons (as we'll see later) and Corky seems to tolerate it. Esteban then convinces Fresh that his gang is more safer to work for than Corky's, because Corky's gang has a reputation of killing people who even look at them the wrong way, and that crack causes more violence. We then meet Esteban (Esposito) who thanks Fresh for saving an ounce of heroin for him. We then see Fresh and his friends walk east on Broadway in Brooklyn, in which they talk about their baseball cars and about comics. He says, "Time ain't money. no matter what those morons who eat that kind of shit up say," and then says, that the only thing that really matters is not wasting your life. He scolds Fresh for being materialistic, after watching him play a game with someone else for money. Little does he know at the moment that this will end up helping Fresh later, in a grand plan to pit the evil men who run his neighborhood against each other. Here, Sam teaches Fresh about how chess can be applied to life. We then see Fresh go to Manhattan to play a game and we meet his father, Sam (Jackson). This gets Corky into admiring Fresh for sticking up for himself. And Corky gives Fresh crap for wanting to demand his money. We see a foreshadowing of Jake's evil nature in which Jake threatens to kill someone because of a personal debt he is owed. The next day we see the typical daily operations of Corky's crime family, consisting of Fresh, Jake (Jean La-Marre) and Red. His sis is fed up with him coming home late, and says that if they end up in a group home because of him, she'll kill him. After Fresh hides his money, in order to evade being caught by cops, he comes home late. After that we see what the kids do in school all day, including one graphic scene where the kids talk about smacking girls who they think are bitches and act "all that," including not wanting to be with guys they deem as beneith them. He then goes to school where his teacher scolds him for coming late. We then see him go into Herbie (Yul Vazquez) store, who counts the drugs for Fresh to give him the money. He spends his day in the opening, running drugs for both Corky's and Esteban's gangs. He lives in a housing project in Brooklyn with his Aunt Frances and his sister Nicole (Wright), a low-self esteem girl who doesn't make being taken advantage of and his bros, after his parents divorced. The story revolves around 12-year old Michael, who goes by his street name Fresh. It was released in August 1994 by Luminiere Pictures and later distributed, in some cinemas by Miramax. Fresh is a classic part-noir/part thriller crime movie starring Samuel L Jackson, N'Bushe Wright, Sean Nelson (as the eponymous character) and Gian Carlo Esposito. ![]()
