69: The Saga of Danny Hernandez

I've never liked 69 but the other night one of my homegirls had said she started watching this show with interviews from people who knew 69. I've only ever known him as a troll and a rat. But i lit one up and turned it on. It's the story of a Spanish kid from the hood and how his hunger for fame (and i feel like some internal desperation for acceptance or something) selfishly ruined his own dreams and the lives of people he cared about and supported him. It's kinda sad in its own way but more cautionary than anything. The story will also hold your attention it was interesting

Did someone forced y'all to watch this? No? Then why are you giving this 1/10 lmao.

You are giving 1 because it's about 6ix9ine. It's like you hate Tom Cruise so you go and rate every Tom Cruise movie "1" star. Use your logic.

If you do some research about 6ix9ine's life, you will actually understand him. He is a good person(i'm not being sarcastic).

You should listen to what the producer said at the very beginning of the movie. That they were interested in the difference between the persona people show online versus their real, interior self. Who is Danny Hernandez? The people who are reviewing this in a negative way cannot understand that you can watch this from an objective standpoint. This documentary talks about the real world themes such as the cycle of poverty, generational trauma, anger, what masculinity looks like, etc through the story of 69.I truly do hope that this movie begins a conversations about rap culture, why young men and young, at risk youth are attracted to hip hop, and what it means to show dominance and masculinity in our society.

A little annoyed at myself for even clicking this doc out of curiosity, because idk how, but i didn't know of him at all, and the rainbow hair got me. And obviously I don't think this person deserves any more attention. I will say, I'm pretty intrested to see what it's creator comes out with in the future. So many poorly thrown together documentaries come out on streaming platforms, and at least after watching this I didn't feel duped in that way. I felt like even if it wasn't 100%, the person who made this cared about doing a good job.

I wasn't planning on reviewing this title but after reading the few reviews I feel like I had to.

People are giving poor reviews on the documentary because they don't like the subject. Me neither folks, that guy is an absolute piece of garbage but the documentary is done in a competent manner and it is interesting actually!

It is presented with a lot of evidence and footage in a somewhat impartial manner, so you always see his side but at the same time you see people talking about the absolute trash he is.

So,in my opinion, you shouldn't blame the quality of the documentary on the subject the director choose to document, because the documentary is done quite well and makes you want to see it. It's not Citizen Kane of course but give it a try ! It's not like it's going to change your mind on what the rapper is but at least you can follow how things got to this point !
