Скачать или смотреть Eddie Murphy & Martin Lawrence: The Making of the Greatest Prison Comedy

Welcome back to Hollywood Insiders! Today, we are diving deep into the 1999 buddy comedy-drama Life, starring the legendary duo Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence.
Directed by Ted Demme, Life follows the 65-year journey of Ray (Murphy) and Claude (Lawrence) after they are wrongfully convicted of murder in 1932 Mississippi. We explore how this film evolved from a simple pitch by Eddie Murphy into a poignant "dramedy" that balances gut-busting laughter with a moving commentary on race and injustice.
In this episode, we discuss:
The Chemistry: How Murphy and Lawrence’s real-life friendship translated to the screen.
Oscar-Nominated Makeup: The incredible work by Rick Baker that aged the duo over six decades.
The Supporting Cast: Honoring the late Bernie Mac and the film debuts of stars like Anthony Anderson.
