This is AI. Generative fill in the top and bottom, with the actual shot in the middle, this movie wasn’t shot on vertical 16:9 so it would never have the framing for it throughout so many scenes, AI is cool but it’s not moving, we can tell

Feel like we all loved this movie for the cinematography.. other than that idk lol

People hating for likes this is easily one of the best hood movies ever made

One of the best movies for cinematography. Acting (outside of DMX) and writing could’ve been better, but what you saw with your eyes on screen was elite.

Belly was so weird after Dmx get outta jail..the movie is actually over in my head at the point..like all that kill the minister shit was soooo dumb

The visual esthetics were beautiful, the movie was shot amazingly down to the camera angles. One of the best soundtracks of its time and the locations of the scenes provided a true authentic feel but Belly is one of the worst movies of all time as visually pleasing as it is

BELLY always gon’ be my shit . . .
