Paid in Full is one of my all time favorite movies and Ace is probably my favorite “character” of all time. the 3 act structure takes us through his growth but also shows us how he never lost himself in the game. I left him faceless because I see him in so many black boys and I want them to see THEMSELVES. Ace was thoughtful in his decision MAKING, cared about his people, and knew who he WAS. Through it all Ace Stayed Gold in the face of adversity.
