Emre Kucukenez With a good soundtrack and 90's west coast atmosphere, it's one of the referenced examples of "hood film", together with "do the right thing". i think "furious" reflects the main idea of the film. the government tries to destroy unwanted people by forcing them to being uneducated and unemployed. this method will cause to increase violence and terror among these groups. eventually the power will confirm itself and will demand right to intervene.

seymourblack-1 Set in the Crenshaw neighbourhood of South Central L.A., this hard-hitting drama charts the journey that three black youths make from boyhood to adulthood The challenges they encounter are far greater than those faced by most people because their environment predisposes them to the kinds of dysfunctional relationships, drug dependencies or early violent deaths that are such a normal feature of everyday life as they know it. First-time writer and director John Singleton, whose story is based on his own childhood experiences, posits that the most effective way out of this self-perpetuating cycle of violence, poverty and hopelessness is through better parenting.As a 10-year-old boy, Tre Styles (Desi Arnez Hines 11) is bright, short-tempered and constantly in trouble at school. As his divorced mother feels unable to do anything to change his behaviour, she sends him to live with his father so that he can learn how to become a man and enjoy a better and more successful future. Furious Styles (Laurence Fishburne) is smart, stern and strict and immediately starts mentoring his son in an effort to teach him the importance of education and how to survive in the dangerous neighbourhood in which he also grew up. Seven years later, Tre (now played by Cuba Gooding Jr.) and his friends Doughboy (Ice Cube) and Ricky (Morris Chestnut) are on the brink of adulthood and apparently heading in different directions.Tre is responsible, has a job in a clothes shop and plans to go to college with his steady girlfriend, Brandi (Nia Long). His best friend Ricky has already become a father and lives with his girlfriend and his infant son in his mother's house. His ambition is to become a professional football player and he hopes that the scholarship he's preparing for will be his road to success and provide him with a way out of the 'hood. Doughboy, who's Ricky's half-brother, has regularly been in trouble with the police since his first arrest on a shoplifting charge at the age of ten and now, as an ex-con, has no career prospects, is dealing drugs and is also a member of a local gang.The boys all get on well together but a tragic event soon creates a hunger for revenge and the way in which Tre responds is guaranteed to have enormous implications for his future as well as providing an acid test for how successful his father's mentoring has actually been.None of the boys grew up in a conventional family environment as their fathers were all absent for most of their lives and this put them in grave danger of ending up in gangs. This point is made strongly but their relationships with their mothers were also dysfunctional in different ways with Doughboy losing out the most and as a result, growing up with an inherent disrespect for women."Boyz n The Hood" depicts Crenshaw as a neighbourhood where life is cheap and guns, gangs and drugs are always in evidence, as are the seemingly ever-present police helicopters that contribute so strongly to the place feeling and looking like a war zone. The ways in which this is done on-screen are incredibly powerful and realistic. Equally powerful, however, is the way in which all the characters are so understandably products of their environment and so well represented by a wonderful cast of actors (especially Ice Cube, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Laurence Fishburne) who make them so relatable.The fact that this movie is the work of a 23-year-old first-time director/writer is absolutely extraordinary and a great achievement by anyone's standards.

monstermayhem32 Even after more than 25 years since its raise, boys in the hood remains what I would call a cult classic. While the film does have its funny moments, but what's great about is how it deals what blacks had to go through in crime ridden Los Angeles and often trapped in the gang life because of limited opportunities and how the consequences of that life would result in jail, teen pregnancy, and death. The story deals with three friends, the, doughboy, and Ricky who try to navigate the struggles they go through on a daily basis while trying to avoid being trapped in the thug life.

powermandan Spike Lee's "Do The Right Thing" in 1989 was the start of the "hood" film genre. Two years later, young director John Singleton did his first film that has since been regarded as the mother of all hood movies. I do think that "Do The Ring Thing" is better, but Boyz N the Hood has more humanity and has more morals, which is why it is still raved as being the best of the genre. Boyz N the Hood is a coming-of-age film about a group a young people living in Compton. Cuba Gooding Jr. stars in the centre of the film as Tre Styles, a smart kid who is bound for bigger and better things. As a child, he was given full custody to his father, Furious Styles (Laurence FIshburne) so that he doesn't grow up like other people is LA's ghetto. Furious is an investment broker and Vietnam War veteran, who is determined to raise his son with the proper obedience. Morris Chestnut and Ice Cube co-star as siblings who are Tre's best friends. Them and a few of their friends do their best to stay out of trouble. But robberies and gang violence are part of the everyday. The whole time, we wonder how the pacifism that Furious taught will actually remain a part of their lives.We get a perfect glimpse into South Central Los Angeles. The police abuse their power on its residents. Its not much of a race-related thing since one of the most brutal cops is black. It is about class. Los Angeles is divided, and the ghetto is too. There's a very famous scene where the a gang cons Ricky into taking his football. But aside from that, there's always rival gangs in ghettos. Not only are we taken into this neighbourhood, but the characters that inhabit this area are real. Ricky loves football, Doughboy is the fat brother who got the short end of the stick, and Tre wants out. Simple gang violence leads to deaths. Tre may have to go against his father's orders in order to ensure survival.This is a very precious film about survival and loyalty. Tre and his friends are lucky to grow up around somebody like Furious. It is not a a movie with black guys swearing and killing like so many other hood movies are. There are actual messages and life lessons, with real characters that draw us into a real place. Do The Right Thing started the genre, but Boyz N the Hood remains in its top spot.
