      David Travon I agree homie. I saw just a few scenes in boyz n the hood that came off as a lil too unlikely in real life, like Ricky getting killed then taken home to his mothers crib. I sadly enough, have known practically everything played out in menace 2 society to happen in the streets even where I'm from.

      The giant Troll I feel like boyz in the hood had better message. It had more important lessons like the impact of a responsible father. Menace to society is realistic too, yet in another sense. Menace to society better emphasizes the way everyday in the hood could be your last.

  • @shlyanth
    @shlyanth 6 років тому +19

    I look for a positive message in these types of films, so between the two I have to go with Boyz N The Hood. Not to mention Boyz got me emotionally. However, the character development with Caine throughout Menace was definitely on-point.
    P.S.

    Boyz in the Hood 100%, it was more sadder when Ricky got shot and they had to bring his body to his mother's house
    The devastation of the mother and his girlfriend and his child was really sad made you want to cry
    It was definitely hard to watch but the fact that Ricky passed his test before he was killed to go to college
    But his real dream was to be a football player
    Menace to society juice, a New Jack City is no comparison with Boyz in the Hood" and I love them All, but only one movie had a true positive side to the entire movie that truly survived and made it
    And that was Boyz in the Hood.
    Especially in that movie there were at least one good father that was in that kid life and his name was Trey.

    Have to go with "Boyz N The Hood" if for no other reason than the final scene when Doughboy talks about how he probably will get killed, but it doesn't matter because "we all gotta go sometime." When Tre says he still has one brother left--that is as emotional a scene as I've ever witnessed--unforgettable!!

    Great review!! Man I can listen to you all day! The final menace scene fucked me up when I was younger. But youre right. Ricky's death was beyond impactful. So impactful that I still remember where I was when I watched it. I was watching it with my fam at the time and I just remembered all the black women in my family crying out NO when Ricky turned to run for his life. It was like something they all played in their mind at one point. The way they all cried out in unison at that scene I'll never forget it.
    Excellent review. R.I.P John Singleton

    Agreed 100% on all the reasons why you picked that as the winner. Growing up with this subject matter and getting to actually experience when both these movies came out, Menace doesn't really have the same emotional pull that Boyz in the Hood does. Everyone who's watched them both will always remember the scenes of Ricky's death and his family's reaction clearly af. You're not getting any scenes with that kind of long lasting impact from Menace, as excellent of a movie that it is.

    I think Menace is less shallow than often portrayed. Caine's not perfect, but the last scene where he sacrifices his life to save 5 year old Anthony in a way completes his character arc. It doesn't take away from the shit he did, but its his way of redeeming himself by helping the next generation live on.

    Menace II Society was more cinimatically flashy but more subtle and ambiguous when it came to spelling everything out for the viewer.
    Boyz n the Hood made it very clear who was a good guy and a bad guy.
    Boyz n the Hood had bigger mass appeal and better writing and character development but Menace II Society was more gritty and raw and presented a world where not everything is just black and white.

    If we're looking at realism I think Boys wins, although I can't really say much since I'm from Europe and not the US, but using the hood I grew up in as an example, Boys seems more realistic to me personally. As far as pure entertainment goes, I think Menace is much better. Overall, both are great and sad films.

      Menace's violence is very realistic. Im from L.A and the 80s and 90s had high murder rates. 93 was a really bad year. 700 murders. So the high violence is real. But Boyz IMO is better. Boyz is realistic too and its better written.

    Menace is better acted, more action, better audio video quality by a big stretch. But boyz hits different way more tense and dramatic Ricky's death has more impact than the whole of menace you really feel that shit. It's much more dramatic and touches on cultural issues in a smarter way. Whereas menace is like a action movie a thrill ride but nothing much changes throughout

    Both are great in their own way, but I can rewatch menace more than boys in the hood.
