Boyz n the Hood

1991John Singleton

4.8/5

Writer and Director John Singleton's portrayal of social problems in inner-city Los Angeles, California takes the form of a tale of three friends growing up together in the "hood". Half-brothers Doughboy (Ice Cube) and Ricky Baker (Morris Chestnut) are foils for each other's personality, presenting very different approaches to the tough lives they face. Ricky is the "All-American" athlete, looking to win a football scholarship to USC and seeks salvation through sports, while Doughboy succumbs to the violence, alcohol, and crime surrounding him in his environment, but maintains a strong sense of pride and code of honor. Between these two is their friend Tre Styles (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), who is lucky to have a father, Furious Styles (Laurence Fishburne), to teach him to have the strength of character to do what is right and to always take responsibility for his actions.

Celebration of colour:Love for melanated royalty

I always have and always will feel and had a kindred love for brothers and sisters of a richer hue,from the never ending harlem renaissance to the works of Schhomburg and Jones to the kids out in Decatur and the suited up FOI selling bean pies for brother Farrakhan.from griots to presidents and ghettos to high rise apartments this is not my experiences just my observations not my place to understand and sympathize but to empathise with a class/group/culture/tradition/and history most fluid and highly regarded by myself and others. Not my life to live but I love who I love and I am a part of this story and an objective observer as well as a student and lover.
