A lot of that movie was a reality that we had to live with. It was a trip when it first came out. To see ours lives on the big screen. It was a trip.
I can only imagine. It's not just the sight either, it's also the sounds. So many time in the movie, you heard choppers, guns being fired, people fighting, sirens coming and going. it must have been a never ending drain on the soul.
You should try being white in africa…..
We are a target 24/7/365 it’s about time there way nothing but love……
"We" whos we.Dont speak for every black person like you know.
@@crymeariver221 sorry ignorance I was speaking of the we I know. Damn
@@crymeariver221your username speaks volumes😂
His mom was NOT a bad mom. She tried her best and when she saw that she she was losing control, she sent him to live with his father. He didn't want to go if you remember. She promised when she finished school and could get a better place she would bring him back. That's what she read trying to do. I agree with furious, it should r his choice at that age. And of course he would no longer want to move with her because he just has a year left and so his friends are now in that neighborhood but i think it's important that he knows that he had option, that door was open and she kept her promise. Also knowing that your mother wants you and loves you to is important. I think without that he could have felt abandoned. What she said to furious was also on point. Furious did the right thing but it don't make him special. He did whst he was supposed to do and what single mothers had been doing got many years. Women often get criticism for raising their kids, especially their boys a certain way but they are doing the best they can without a father who goes missing. Men get that pst on the back for being a suckle parent but the woman gets criticism just like you guys did m you actually callee her a bad mother but she made all the right decisions pertaining to her son. NOW doughboys mom was a bad mother to him m they're is a huge contrast.
Tre needed a father in his life so she sent him to live with furious and he put him right tre was lucky to have father to grow up with most of the kids in the hood don't just look at doughboy no father figure in his life to discipline him and that's how he turned out
Doughboy's mom was a bad mom though and look how he ended up.
You mean Reva was not a bad mom. Brenda, on the other hand, yeah, she wasn’t that good of a mom. 11 and one kid and not the other. Telling the other kid he ain’t shit when he’s like 10 years old, sad
Brenda was the real villain in this film … doughboys opinion of women was formed because of the way his mother verbally abused him every day since he was a child
Damn man. I've been a fan of this movie since it came out and I never made that connection. Very good point.
There is no villain of this film. This is a whole tragedy where people were put in horrible situations even Brenda, raising two boys by herself must’ve been very hard so me who has never had to raise someone in those conditions before has no right to judge or call someone a villain, because of how they handle situations whether or not if I think it’s right or wrong
Yall got a nice thing going here and a cool vibe. I can confirm that this movie is about 85-90% accurate of what it's like to live in the hood.
Thank you very much. I believe you on this, it makes sense. Some things are always a little embellished for movie sake I suppose, but still pretty spot on with this movie!
19:10 The mailman is the director of the movie. John Singleton.
I didn't know that was him. I like it when Directors make appearances in their movies however small the role may be. Thanks for pointing that out!
Among the best things I love about Boyz n The Hood is Doughboy for his character and story development and Ice Cube’s performance in the role.
Cube at the time was among the emerging hip-hopers in the 90s with his debut solo album AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted after leaving NWA.
The guy may not have had attended drama class in school, never did a film, never did a TV show or a stage show but it was the encouragement from John Singleton due to their friendship that convinced Cube to get the part of Doughboy.
John Singleton met Ice Cube when he was a member of backstage crew at the Arsenio Hall Show and even though Cube turned down the offer a couple times, I’m beyond glad he accepted the offer.
For an inexperienced actor in a cinematic debut, Ice Cube did an awesome job playing Doughboy. He played the role as if he (Cube himself) never had a dad, is the subject of ridicule and verbal abuse by his mum who favours a brother of his and ends up as as a Rollin 60s Crip. He did it so damn convincingly that he should’ve got an Oscar, a BAFTA, a Golden Globe - all three for “Best Supporting Actor” and MTV Movie Award for “Best Breakthrough Performance”.
This was long before Cube did the Friday films (film series he also wrote/produced), Are We There Yet?, xXx 2 and 3, Fist Fight, Ride Along, 21/22 Jump Street, Ghost of Mars, the Barbershop films, Rampart, Tresspass etc
If the Marc Webb-directed and Andrew Garfield-starred Amazing Spider-Man films were to conclude with a 3rd film (a 4 hour 3rd film to end the story) and if Ice Cube appeared in it - he would’ve been J Jonah Jameson (Daily Bugle newspaper boss). Imagine Andrew Garfield and Ice Cube in the same room! Wasted/missed opportunity in my opinion.
Fantastic reaction to this classic movie...it's hard to hold back tears every time...and I'm from Los Angeles so it hits home for me 🔥
“Either they don’t know, don’t show, or don’t care about what goes on in the hood.”
The movies and music were the news, but it was turned to push a narrative instead of warning and uplifting.
Truer words were never spoken!
really good feedback and discussions had during this reaction. It was nice to hear thorough thoughts and opinions while not talking over all the good parts(common occurrence in many other reactions I've watched). I've liked and followed!
The sad thing about many women is that when they make poor choices in men, they take out that anger on the children they created with that man. Every time they see the child they see the man who broke their heart. Dough Boy's situation isn't uncommon unfortunately.
True.
You gotta realize doughboys whole perspective on women is skewed because his own mother treats him different because he looks like his father who his mother hated.
In the 90’s without cameras, plus not really looking to solve those shootings, it would mainly trace back if they found you later with the same gun.
The issue of those times was getting guns without bodies on them. The clean ones were more expensive and some needed, wanted, or could afford the immediate protection.
Yeah, we forget what technology was like back then, and its limits. More than anything, I was just concerned for Doughboy, because he wasn't in a right state of mind, and the worst things happen when you're not thinking straight. Thanks for stopping by!
New Jack City- Wesley Snipes and Ice-T.
New Jersey Drive- about boosting cars.
Menace to Society
South Central
Juice- Tupac and Omar Epps.
Awesome, thanks for the recommendations. We can definitely work with this list!
You forgot "Set It Off" with Vivica A. Fox, Jada Pinkett Smith, Kimberly Elise and Queen Latifah.
I enjoyed your movie reaction. I wanted to speak about the character furious in the black community. There are more fathers that are in their children’s life then back in those days in the late 80s and 90s crack cocaine mass incarceration and things like that really broke families apart during those times but in 2024 the black family is very strong black men are very present in their children’s life whether they’re in the home or not I just wanted to make that point
What are the next hood classics you want to see on this channel? let us know your thoughts!
Menace to Society, Higher learning
@@thewoodardsyesss!! Those 2!!!
Blood in blood out... most underrated movie
You watched Boyz N The Hood now you have to see Menace To Society and Juice then watch the Wayans brothers parody movie of all the hood movies called Dont Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood.
Baby boy 😊
Great reaction! Kinda lol at you guys thinking those guns were legal and therefore traceable 😂
This movie is still in my Top 10 after all these years (it’s Number 2 behind ‘The Godfather Pt. 1 & 2). A Masterpiece of a film that I consider the best “Hood Movie” of all time. I never grew up in the hood but this movie has always stayed with me since I first saw it.
I agree. It hits harder than most, especially with children involved, and how they grow up living in their environment. This movie did a great job at showing how their lives would be shaped and impacted bye their surroundings. Thanks for stopping by!
@@CocktailFlicks What you mentioned about the kids reminds me of the fourth season of “The Wire”. It shows how some of the main characters became who they were and the environment they were from. That season hits the hardest out of all five seasons.
@@antoine1486 I haven't seen the wire, but I like stories like that. In my case, it makes me put my upbringing into perspective. While things may not have been perfect, I had options, and not a lot of kids growing up can say that. It took a while to understand that, but that's all a part of growing up. Thanks for the heads up on The Wire, We will check it out for sure!
@@CocktailFlicks Arguably, The Wire is the best series ever. Some say Breaking Bad, some say The Sopranos. I think it’s The Wire. You’ll enjoy it for sure. It’ll slowly sneak under your skin. By the third episode of the first season, you’ll see what I mean.
Lawrence Fishburne has a movie entitled “Stand Off” where he plays a crazy hit man who has a stand off inside of a home for an entire day with a ex marine who is trying to save a little girl from the hit man! ITLL HAVE YOU ON THE EDGE ID YOUR SEATS!!! PLEASE REACT TO IT
Liked the reaction, but noticed 2 things y'all didn't fully comprehend. 1) Trey's mom was not bad, it takes a great parent to be selfless and do what's best for the Child. 2) Ricky and Doughboy's mom pit them against eachother by how differently she treated them. Causing Doughboy to resent Ricky. Not coo... this also plays apart in how Doughboy views women. Not right, but I can understand it....
In the case of Trey's mom, I think you are right. She made that choice when he was a child, and it was a good one as he grew up right. Our only gripe was that she wanted him back after Furious had raised him to become a Man, but he was all grown up at that time, and about to graduate, so why make him leave now? However, she's his mother and just misses him, and wants to be around him while she can, so I can respect that. I was not a fan of how Doughboy was treated by his mom growing up compared to Ricky. He might of had a better chance with equal love. I guess we will never know. You are spot on about how it shaped his view of women. Great observation!
@@CocktailFlicks I totally agree, she wasn't being realistic expecting him to move back with her after he was practically grown. Like you said, she probably just missed him, but come on lady lol. So true (regarding Ricky and Doughboy's mom), and I know people that were raised just like that. I appreciate your perspective on this and several other reactions. New subbie!!
@@luvmyfam82 Awe, Thank you, That's much appreciated. We may not always get it right, but we will always keep it real. Let us know if you have any recommendations!🤓
@@CocktailFlicksPlayers Club, Higher Learning, American History X and Tombstone (if not already done)
Good reaction fellas
Thank you very much. Happy to hear from you again!
Great reaction 💯
Doughboys disrespect for women comes from him Not liking his own mother and how she treated him
13:40 my score was so great, i did the smartest thing, i guessed all on the SAT, finished first and last at the same time 😎
Thank you for reaction! I haven’t heard about that song Black Korea by Ice Cube. Subscribed.
Great reaction this is the reality the news doesn’t show
Definitely subscribed
That's awesome thank you for you're support!
Crazy part is if doughboy wasnt murdered he had a high chance of gettin away with it unless he got caught wit that gun
21:20 we already know how cops work today, but back then? there was no point in calling the police at all, you either did something back, or didnt
The scene when they shot in the air the actors and background actors didn’t known the gunshots weren’t real the directors didn’t write it in the film.
Im from Pasadena. Its 2024. Nothing changed about south central.
South Central is less black and mostly Mexican now. And it still has less homicides than the 80s and 90s. LA improved from 2010-2020 but since COVID it's been going downhill again.
That wasn't bill bellamy lol
Watch, "Blood in Blood Out" very good movie! Lots of big name actors before they were big.
Menace To Society.
Juice.
Awesome zombie shirt
WHERE IN THE HELL YAW GET THE “BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA”(LOPAN) PICTURE FROM,ONE IF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES
In the whole bullet tracing is not always a thing it happens so much in the hood the cops stop caring
Do set it off
Thanks for the recommendation!
Although late to this reaction I just had a chance to look at your reaction along with others of my own ethnicity and others of your ethnicity and so forth and I just had to respond to yours🤔! No disrespect and I know you reacted the best you could from your ethnicity point of view and how you were raised and where you were brought up but this is it! I’m Black and I’ve probably spent more time growing up knowing different ethnicity’s and living in the
Hood and with no disrespect you don’t really have a clue, those brothers in the
Hood was mostly a product of there ethnicity and the
Life they grew up in you said why didn’t they call the police YES!!! In your neighborhood! But if you watch this movie again the way the cops acted and the media didn’t give a 🤬 that’s why they weren’t in a hurry to call the police but did what they did according to their way of life it doesn’t mean it’s right but for someone like you standing on the other side of the fence looking in there’s no way on G😇DS Green Earth You Could Really understand or feel their pain and it’s not your fault because you just don’t know and couldn’t know unless you were them and grew up under the same circumstances and conditions I didn’t write this comment to put you down or insult and disrespect your opinion but to educate you on something that no matter how you try to understand it in the realization of it all unless you could be born again black and during slavery or in there time you can only sympathize not improvise to understand because you’re not black and been raised in the hood and I wish no one had to come up like that but that was the cards 🃏 we were dealt and unfortunately and fortunately for you and others like you maybe this comment can get you and others of your ethnicity to look at other ethnicity with pause and understanding to the best of the knowledge others try to educated you if you choose to really sincerely be educated because you want to be! and all do respect it’s not your fault but in the words of a great poet, and artist Tupac Shakur that’s just the way it is!!!
Do menace 2 society, another great movie!
... That's wassup that you knew the song Black Korea
Do Sounder.....😮
I'm not familiar with that one, but I will check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!
@CocktailFlicks It's from the 1970s. It's based on a book and is considered a classic.
@@CocktailFlicks The Morgans, a family of poor black sharecroppers in the Depression-plagued South, struggle to find enough to eat despite the help their hunting dog, Sounder.
Please react to another hood classic called dead presidents and i got the hook up
Doughboy is so misunderstood 🤦🏾
Awesome reaction, can you please watch a movie called THE FOUNDER.
