Boyz n the Hood (1991)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Thanks for the memories!

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

As Good As It Gets

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.

But not "dumb" in a purposefully insulting way. "Dumb" as in it feels like it was made by a child. Everything is incredibly obvious, on the nose, cheesy and you can see it coming from a mile away. This movie doesn't do subtle, or thoughtful, or anything really. It honestly feels like something a 6th grader would make. At first I was bored, then I was angry and by the time the end credits rolled I was laughing out loud at how silly it is. Halfway through I gave up on the promise of any story and just sort of stick out to see who gets the bullet as it really seemed that's the only way this movie could've ended.You want to add 7 points to that because of the real issues and human tragedies it deals with? Feel free to do so. But theme aside, this is a surprisingly poor movie.

There's so many ways you mess up what this movie tries to do, as can be seen in the many movies made after it in a similar setting. This movie is set on the streets, but it's not taking sides. It's not a romantic look at the life of the street thug, nor is it a patronizing tale of morals. It does not paint a picture of one group (the poor) against another (the rich). It's people in a community, and that community consists of all sorts of people, and they're all forced to face the reality they are in. I am in no position to judge how close to reality this movie is, but it all feels authentic.There are some great performances in this movie, and that goes all around. The big players and the bit parts are all played as if the characters were made especially for the actors. And all the characters feel like real human beings with struggles both big and small.

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.
