When I was a kid, my classmates were having sex in junior high. Personally I think that’s too young now that I am a grown man, but once someone’s hormones start going during puberty those urges are hard too stop. I was young once and there was a girl I wanted too get with but looking back on it I knew it would have been wrong. It’s important too teach kids why abstinence is crucial but if they’re gonna have sex anyway, we as parents might as well make sure they have access too birth control and condoms so they do it responsibly.
REST PEACEFULLY: Lloyd Avery II (Guy who shot Ricky), Dedrick D. Gobert (Dooky), Lexie Bigham (Mad Dog. He gave little Ricky his football back), Jessie L. Ferguson (Angry Black cop), Whitman Mayo (The old man who was angry because the youth in his neighborhood was killing each other and selling crack), Esther Scott (Ol girl's grandmother who went upstairs and chased Tre out of the house with that cleaver), and John Singleton (the director)
12:32 He said that because black soldiers would be subjected to racism at home and overseas. America had yet to address the institutional racism here towards black people. The government used them as soldiers then disregarded them. Didn’t award or honor them, didn’t provide them with help for ptsd, and not many benefits to keep them financially afloat when they returned home. If you watch interviews of black soldiers back in the day they shared these sentiments.
As a soldier in the army, there are over 30 African males in my platoon. They all are going to college and are getting a degree. Well respected men. So it has changed brother. God Bless. @@SantanicoDiabolical
As a kid who grew up in the hood at a young age I will say...this is very accurate in that we were 8 9 and 10 cussing like a sailor and getting into bs
What bothers me about that scene is that either doughboy only had three rounds in his mag, or that his gun was so dirty that it jammed after only three rounds
I had forgotten how many people were in this cast. Looking back, it is insane the talent in this movie and how much success the cast had in their careers.
too bad some of them didn't get to make it far enough with all the hate in the streets back then, rip rickys killers, dooky, and the dude that gave ricky his ball back in the beginning
Watching the new generation watch this movie really showcases how different things are now and what they think is right 😭 I was watching the reaction so confused but it is good that she took the opportunity to watch it, she needs to try and process why it was like that instead of saying it was wrong. The movie came in the 90s one of the most dangerous times. Real rap
Mind you, this generation grew up with rap culture. When Boyz n the Hood first came out, there had never been anything like it. There's literally hundreds of 'hood movies' now because it basically invented the genre. These kids almost couldn't be as effected by it as we were when it first dropped. I think Menace to Society would give her a bit more of a visceral reaction to the violence and narrative compared to Boyz which was more operatic....
Exactly! I thought it was just me! I even laughed when she tried to act like it was strange in terms of what they were drinking. If she don’t know that then she can’t possibly have experience living in the hood. It’s a freaking 40 oz of malt liquor 😂 Jeesh! Even saying that simply using protection is a reason one shouldn’t be cautious of being active made me laugh lol. Protection is not 100% proof. This young lady has little to no street sense. But what I noticed is how she applied these toxic politically correct views to this movie and failed to understand that this was a different time period. Even her not understanding why they had Jheri curls going on evidences that to me. This was the pre-internet/social media days so of course a lot of this wouldn’t make sense to someone who’s a Gen Z person.
And love what you said about that era too being very dangerous. This new generation has no idea. I spent a good chunk of my time in the DC Area during the 90’s when it was the murder capital. DC crime today is peanuts l. I say the same for all the cities comparing them to now. L.A., NYC, Oakland, New Orleans, San Antonio, etc. The 80’s and 90’s were way more brutal than today. Plus, a lot of the stuff these youngster get passes for today, back then they would’ve been checked and rested for. Not to hate but this new generation is strange.
@@watitdufulI was born in 04 but I was raised *everything* 90s and I have so much respect for anyone who lived or even visited those areas at that time. I wasn’t there so the only thing I can compare it to by today’s standards is certain parts of Chicago or Florida (I’m from the south so I was raised in some shady places but tbh nothing like those places in the 80s and 90s)
Fun Fact. The scene when dude was firing his Uzi from the trunk was real. The actors' reactions to the gunfire are not scripted. Ice Cube confirmed Director John Singleton never told any of the actors that real gunfire would be used for this scene.
Ye but everything else is heavily scripted really you can't do social realism films Americans you fail at it all the time always looks cheesy and have to have a message that's why there was lots of parodies of this film making fun of it
This movie is the truth. It tells it like it really was in the hood in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. John Singleton grew up in south central Los Angeles and that’s the main reason why he did this. He wanted too bring an awareness too the gang and drug problem in the area because it’s a movie that has never been done before. Dennis Hopper did Colors of course but that movie didn’t deliver such a powerful dramatic story about surviving in a poverty and gang stricken neighborhood like Boyz N The Hood did. This movie delivered and made quite an impact.
Yeah. Colors made a lot of people who didn’t know aware of the gang problem in LA but it didn’t show anything about how regular people in these neighborhoods lived. It was mostly from the cops perspective.
She didn’t like doughboys father and you can tell she loved Ricky’s father but he died so she couldn’t have him it’s sad how some parents treat their children because of how they feel about the other parent
9:25 Nah the depiction of the kids is accurate. I grew up in South Central in that era, and kids were very much so this mature, somewhat independent, and this vulgar. Some did well in life and some didn't.
Yeah,you grow-up fast in the hood.I grew up in Philly in a hood project and it was REAL bad !!! LOL. We called it: LITTLE-BEIRUT.During the 90s Philly was the no-2 in the nation when it came to crime.Philly was what Chicago is today,now it's even worse.But,I don't live there any more,left in late 1994 to join the army.
It’s interesting watching a younger generation watch this movie. Yes, this is exactly like a lot of us grew up in certain neighborhoods, almost no exaggeration from the young era at the beginning up until the ending. It’s funny seeing how some things that are normal to me, were pretty foreign to you.😂 I’d say times have improved in a way. 😊
Facts. I grew up in the nickersons and it was a lot like this. The first body I saw was a cop's and from that day I knew why the cops didn't come around there.
That Is something. Never grew up in the hood so I can only imagine what you must have endured coming up. We're black on black crime is the norm. Maybe the director was showing you how nobody really cares about the hood or what people are dealing with within the hood
@@shadow1sd Yep, that’s exactly what he was showing, that people outside of those communities didn’t know or care about the people who had to live in them. The gang life, police brutality, fights, crime in general unfortunately were common. I don’t really agree with the Black on Black crime narrative though because people commit crime against the people closest to them. I was a wild kid/teen and got kicked out of high school in my neighborhood freshman year so I had to semi live with my aunt in the suburbs and come back to the projects on weekends. The suburbs were a different kind of crazy. It was 60% Caucasian and that’s the first time I heard about the kind of crime that happens in more affluent areas, even worse than what I was used to hearing about in the hood. Hood crime is mainly based off people not having money, suburban crime is much sicker. This white girl from school woke up one night to see her own father climbing in bed with her…I’ll never forget that. I’m sure maybe some things like that probably happened in the hood too but there wasn’t many actual fathers in a lot of homes, mainly women who let boyfriends come and go.
July 1991, I was 17 when this movie came out. I spent the summer in Chicago and saw this in a movie theater on the North Side. Here’s the weird part though: The movie theater was PACKED and I was the only Black cat in there (Maybe a couple more). The part where Doughboy and Monster got their revenge on Farris, and you saw the slo-mo of Monster firing that AK, that whole theater cheered! I was tripping!!! 🤣🤣🤣
12:30 That don't even make sense? WRONG! "Black Man Ain't Got No Place In The Army" Makes Perfect Sense if you know your history. He was not saying that black people are not allowed to join the army, he was saying it would be the worse thing to do to yourself. You just focused on how the army helps save their country when you have no idea how the government treats their soldiers, especially black people. They say they want you to serve your country like it's something to show gratitude to gain a hero title, when in fact you're just another statistic to add for their profits while stealing or colonizing resources from other countries. Or just another dead soldier to sacrifice for their gain. I mean You think all the veterans got better opportunities? This movie's time period took place long after the Vietnam War, the most meaningless war we ever got involved in (seriously there was no good reason) and so many became homeless and gained Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from it. Most Veterans committed suicide while living harsh lives afterwards or they couldn't face what they had to do to survive, trust me The Veterans mostly never got any help from the government despite what they did for them; and this has been going on for many years. You clearly did not know what you were talking about when what he said is the most real advise he gave to his son. I know this because my dad served his country and he told me "don't be fucking stupid", he may be Hispanic but he had a dark skin complexion, and he never once wanted to tell me what happened. We once had a VHS of PLATOON and it was about the Vietnam war, he was always hide it in the cupboard of the kitchen and he never let me watch it as a kid. But once I grew up I realized why he didn't want me to know. So do your homework, because Racism existed a lot more back then in the Military/Army/Marines etc etc.
Tell me you don't understand sarcasm without telling me you don't understand sarcasm. Ain't nobody reading all of this but I will say when I said that my point was it's bs how true that is. Please just watch the video because my intent wasn't it doesn't make sense.
@@MJWITHOUTSPIDERMAN That was suppose to be sarcasm? because sarcasms you can tell and you sounded too genuine when you said that. So... it was too hard to actually say that? rather than saying "that ain't true". I know now you didn't say that because you explained it but it was poorly expressed when you said it. Because context matters and that's how it sounded when you said "that don't even make sense". You gotta be clear on these things. I'm glad you had to explain it but trust me some people who had Veterans in their family of different colors might take it the wrong way. Just Saying, but I still appreciate the reaction because I love this movie.
my apologies for poorly explaining it, but yes. My incentive was it truly is bs that a black man cannot serve his country because he has no place in the army. I wasn't actually confused or saying it isnt true
John Singleton really did an excellent job on shining a light on what goes on in the hood. You should also watch Higher Learning, a great impactful film.
Tre's character is based on the creator of the film John Singleton, and Doughboy's character is based on his child hood best friend "Fatback". In the 1980s Fatback was a reputable Hoover Crip who was known for confrontations, fights, and shootouts. Boyz n the Hood is really a homage to Singleton's life, and how he grew up before he went off to college.
Nah that's not why, it's because the mom doesn't like that son and treated him as a failure, so she automatically blamed him for bringing his brother down
Man that's some bullshit. She loved that Ricky more than she ever did with Dough. Ricky got killed because Ferris and them niggas got tilted over one comment.
The movie was based on John Singleton’s life. When this first came out, I think that we all bawled when Ricky got shot, I cried from when he got shot till the end 💯 and yes a lot of us grew up this way. I thought that Doughboy was the real victim in the movie. He never had a chance.
Being afraid of having sex is understandable, using protection does not guarantee that someone won't get pregnant, more than that, STDS/AIDS are always a possibility. Once you start to think about these things, you start to think about "what if I do have a kid", which leads some folks to think about their financial stability, environment, and they start to question themselves, "can I raise a kid?" and things of that nature. Sex is a beautiful thing when you fully trust a person and can be fully intimate, not just physically but psychologically.
Ricky and Dough boy's mama blamed dough boy and treated him different becuz she hated dough boys daddy but still had some love for rickys dad. Dough boys dad probably traumatized her in some kinda way and she never healed. Rickys dad was probably a good dude that tried to save her but eventually he either died OR got hooked on crack and left her. Either way it goes, i think when mothers treat their sons like shit, there's always some hatred for that childs father in the mothers heart.
31:08 Ricky and Doe Boy’s momma was hitting DB out of grief. The metaphor is really that she hitting him because he is the closest embodiment of “the hood” to their family. So realizing your other son was killed like that, gave a natural reaction to the connotations that took your son away (which in her eyes was DB). Very intricate movie, as my 2nd ‘hood’ cinema that I watched (Friday was 1st), I still ride behind this movie, although I wasn’t born until the mid 90s lol.
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.
He said black man don’t have no place in the army because after we went in the military after every war we came home and got treated worse in its own country then we did over seas
That is because the last war that Furious known was the Vietnam War and every grunt soldier who came back were treated like trash(whites, blacks, hispanics etc etc) after the US finding out about the war crimes that were committed against innocents in Nam(O was that bad) by some of those grunts. Everyone had a place in the military for it was those in power at the time that had hidden agendas that betrayed the very principles of the US military. Because just remember that blacks have served during some of the most important wars in history including the war that lead to the birth of the United States of America. But remember this simple fact and that is racism will always exist for it is part of human nature to judge others who are different.
@@GangstaStan010 That shouldn't have happened and anyone knew it. But they made the excuse of it being for science(tho true it was still cruel). But in the end we found out what the effects were on certain races and unfortunately that is what lead to human trials in later years.
My daughter is your age group. I grew up like those guys in the movie. I'm their age... I did enlist in the Army and I retired after 24 years. It kept me on a path to provide and well. It isn't meant for everyone and I was meant to be there. My kids saw this movie and said my parents told them I grew up like that but I'm happy my daughter showed me your upload. Good job Ms. MJ and do you.
I served in the navy 7 yrs and then the army 7 rs: LOVED serving in both,I made it fun. LOL. Then deployed to go fight in Iraq ( I volunteered for 4 deployments )with the Texas Guard with an infantry unit in 2005 at Camp TQ ( it was a marine FOB then )we did joint mission with the marines and a PRC unit ( Provisional-Rifle-Company )a marine reserve unit. We were wearing the insurgents out with the MARK-19 !!! LOL. So,they went to the provisional government of Iraq and demanded that particular weapon be banded in Iraq.TOO collateral damage caused was their reason and it worked !!! The mark-19 was banned,at first we were pissed,then I thought it was pretty smart on the insurgents part to get rid of an enemies weapon that's tearing you up.I also did 2 tours back-to-back.My co-workers at my civilian job thought I had quit because I was gone from work for 2 yrs and 8 months doing back-to-back deployments,Then the last 2 tours,I did yr on,year off. 1 yr in Iraq,then 1 yr at civilian job. LOL. I took citizen-soldier to a new level. SEMPER-FI
I can tell that John(the director) had a very low idea on what the military was and I'm not going to sugarcoat anything for the US military(not just the army) have done some very f*cked up stuff. But there have been plenty of troubled black children from the hood who enlisted for one reason or another and those who did turn out for the better and the worst. There have been plenty of black man who have fought in wars including the very war that helped found the United States of America and the black community from that time to now have made great progress throughout the 248 years that this country existence and lets not forge that there were 2 world wars that would've ended in totalitarian the brave men of the US didn't step up for it was your ancestors who gave you your freedoms that a lot us take for granted. So d not spit on their graves by telling us that enlisting and joining the military doesn't make sense for Furious has a bit of racism in himself as well for he wanted to have his own form of segregation and calling the army(the white man's army) is a dead give away.
This was back in the early 90s. South central LA, Compton, Long Beach was crazy back then with all the gang violence. Back when gangster rap was at its peak. It was worse than what Chicago was
Chicago ain’t that bad bro just these rappers make it seem that way they wouldn’t last in LA or even GA a week without beggin to go bacc home I’ve seen it all
Good video. Your age, naivete, and strong opinions are interesting and comical. A lot of your questions were explained, and context provided while you were talking.
“Wtf these are children” I’m 36, and as a kid we used to talk like this and I went through that football situation even the cop situation 4real but I don’t have no baby mama’s thank god!
@@maliquesirrah4131 yes thank god I’m not out here just reproducing with just anybody and becoming a statistic. Do you not see these baby mamas breaking up their family for their own happiness? It’s so much “co-parenting” out here now it’s become the norm, yall can have that.
MJ great reaction you are absolutely hilarious!! Dont feel bad about the tears. I saw this while I was still in high school and the next day girls were literally crying in class saying "I can't believe they shot Ricky...he's dead"! The teachers were like "who's Ricky?!...who shot him" lol
Just stumbled upon your channel(looks like you're a Spidey fan!), dug this reaction! You're young so it's no surprise you hadn't seen this movie before. Glad you liked it. The actor who played the character who killed Ricky was arrested years later and killed in prison. What happened to him was pretty foul so I won't recount it here. If you haven't seen Menace II Society, that's another good "hood movie".
Since we talking about love movies. I HIGHLY recommend “Love & Basketball” it’s a classic. It’s my favorite love story of all time and i definitely think you’ll feel this.
The reason Furious didn't want his kid to go in the army is because they used to put all the black men up front so they can get shot first. I forgot the name of the soldier, but he has a story on UA-cam about how black men were often looked as pawns who's lives didn't matter, and that they'd get shot and killed by "Friendly Fire" too (not an accident).
Thank you for explaining that. I always thought it was because of the way America treated black people. Like why fight for a country that’s not treating you right once you come back home.
Idk how young you are, I wasn't even born in the 90s and I saw this movie when I was a child, and it's always interesting seeing someone's first impression of a classic movie and tv show. By the way you are so pretty 😍😍😍
Old man stopped me one day at my job to have a talk and told me how his time in WW2. One day after all the fighting was done they got the mind to beat his ass. 2 of his white squad mates had beef with him I guess. Broke his collar bone. Here in our lovely land of the free 2 of my cousin's and several other lil ethnic boys got 20 years for a murder they didn't commit, had no DNA evidence for and have video footage of the officers conducting an unlawful interrogation on a minor with a learning disability. Them boys served their full sentences even with the actual perpetrator behind bars. That's why black men ain't got no business in the army. Do it if you want, it won't always be like that but laying your life down for a country that treats us this way seemed too big of a risk for my life to be in danger living here.
LAPD was so corrupt in the 90s that it was insane, back then there were no cell phones no cameras no internet no social media nothing. Communication was just word of mouth. South Central LA was scary as fuck in the 90s I was just a kid my father owned an apartment complex in the Crenshaw area I was 14 years old he would take me with him when he had to go down to collect rent or do maintenance. We would come from the San Gabriel Valley that's where we lived and I couldn't wait to get the fuck out of the inner city. This movie portrays SC LA so accurately what an amazing movie.
I was a little younger than them when this came out and we all spoke like this in like 3rd 4th grade 😂. You gotta understand we was really outside left to our own devices. This is one of the most realistic depictions of life in Cali back then.
"New Jersey Drive" is a underground classic film from the 90s about teens stealing cars and "Blood in Blood Out" is another sad but great underground gangster flick
I seen this movie in the theater when it first came out, when the movie was over not one word was spoken when everyone exited theater. It was that deep.
Ice Cube's final monologue -- about how "they don't know, don't show, or don't care about what's goin' on in the hood" -- pretty much sums up why this movie was made in the first place.
I guess it’s fitting and in some ways good you younger generations found some of things in this film crazy or shocking. But this film is VERY accurate at that time. I grew up around this kind of environment. If you were lucky there was someone like Tre’s dad to try to really teach you about responsibility and living up to your potential. I can remember cousins and even some “friends” who did nothing but hang out all day drinking and doing drugs and then at night commit crimes to get more alcohol and drugs. A vicious cycle. I hope young teens really watch this movie and see how life has a really sad ending if you go down a dark path. You’re right in saying “It shouldn’t be like this.” But it was a crazy time. How messed up was it that if you wore the wrong color clothing...you could be killed for a rival gang colors. That’s how crazy it was. And John Singleton was praised for portraying an accurate slice of life “in the hood” with an incredible cast of talented actors.
I always say this is one of THE best movies ever made, if not the best. I have seen it a million times since it came out and will cry every. single. time. So many jewels and gems. So much deeper than a movie. Damn. Thanks for watching this. Even though it was 1991, the message is the same. New players every generation but they are all playing the same old game.
Watched this at the cinema with my girlfriend and her sister when it came out. Outer suburbs of Melbourne Australia. Normally with emotional stuff people have a few quiet tears. People were literally wailing crying.
Loving your reaction videos to my favorite movies, saw you do Blood in Blood out yesterday now this, my wife and daughters dont care to watch these shows so nice to see someone enjoying them
The "afraid" thing has nothing to do with STD or using protection. Some people are just shy. Some people are scared to just speak to people. And sex is like the most intimate thing one can do.
31:55 Right there the reason why single mothers are a bad idea for a young boy! Emotional response just like the young man. Furious being a true father and an grown man understands Tre's emotional reaction but also understands that if he allows him to go and take revenge someone else later will come after him. It's a never ending cycle! This is one of the main messages of the movie and it resonates to the realities in the black community to this day! Didn't Doughboy take revenge and got put out two weeks later?Yeah! Just like Denzel once said:"My childhood friends most are locked up or dead because unlike me they had no father around". Doughboy's mother also had a horrible influence on him and the reason why he was so harsh with women is because he resented his mother and her lack of love for him. "What am i supposed to do let a fool smoke me,I'll smoke him first" that young man said to Furious. 25:18 Furious:"i want you to think about your future young brother"...Furious was dropping life lessons all along this movie.
his dad’s first priority was making sure his son was safe and was waiting to see if he’d come home and then his 2nd emotion comes in as pissed off knowing he son snook out and knows why rafter tricking his dad that he was staying home. that’s why he slammed the door
You know what show I think you’d like? ‘The Wire’. If watching the kids at the beginning of ‘Boyz N the Hood’ hurt, wait until you get to the fourth season of ‘The Wire’.
@@HungLoMein Understandable! My sister and I never grew up in the hood but that’s her favorite season, as well. That was the most affective season in my opinion.
Girl stuff like that does happen though! It was a different time and era.. but people some of them they meet and instantly.. click or hook up..! Also because it was a different time, the rating of what can be allowed to show or not show was also different.. it's a product for it's time but still has alot of lessons, morality and realism that still applies today.
Its never too young to talk to your kids about sex when they are at the age of accountability
When I was a kid, my classmates were having sex in junior high. Personally I think that’s too young now that I am a grown man, but once someone’s hormones start going during puberty those urges are hard too stop. I was young once and there was a girl I wanted too get with but looking back on it I knew it would have been wrong. It’s important too teach kids why abstinence is crucial but if they’re gonna have sex anyway, we as parents might as well make sure they have access too birth control and condoms so they do it responsibly.
No cap I was smoking and doing shii I had no business 💯
REST PEACEFULLY: Lloyd Avery II (Guy who shot Ricky), Dedrick D. Gobert (Dooky), Lexie Bigham (Mad Dog. He gave little Ricky his football back), Jessie L. Ferguson (Angry Black cop), Whitman Mayo (The old man who was angry because the youth in his neighborhood was killing each other and selling crack), Esther Scott (Ol girl's grandmother who went upstairs and chased Tre out of the house with that cleaver), and John Singleton (the director)
Whitman Mayo was best known as Grady on Sanford and Son.
@@BrotherDerrick3X Yeah, every time I get to that scene I think, "Grady!"
12:32 He said that because black soldiers would be subjected to racism at home and overseas. America had yet to address the institutional racism here towards black people.

Didn’t award or honor them, didn’t provide them with help for ptsd, and not many benefits to keep them financially afloat when they returned home. If you watch interviews of black soldiers back in the day they shared these sentiments.
literally none of that has changed
Thank you, someone here who actually knows history.
As a soldier in the army, there are over 30 African males in my platoon. They all are going to college and are getting a degree. Well respected men. So it has changed brother. God Bless. @@SantanicoDiabolical
thank you for informing the wannabe white girl lol
Funny thing, the natives had it even worse but didn't complain. And they never turned their back on their country.
As a kid who grew up in the hood at a young age I will say...this is very accurate in that we were 8 9 and 10 cussing like a sailor and getting into bs
Absolutely. Probably the most accurate description on film.
Yep. We cursed like that and made sexual comments amongst the crew about girls on the block that we liked. Very accurate depiction.
That part!
I wouldn’t even say that’s the worst part either.. I remember at that age stealing and fighting too, but very accurate nonetheless.
right. i dont know any 8 yr olds who DONT talk like this. we was def actin a fool like this.
Doughboy killing that dude for Rick was one of the most gangsta moments in cinematic history! Cube KILLED that role!
Fr
What bothers me about that scene is that either doughboy only had three rounds in his mag, or that his gun was so dirty that it jammed after only three rounds
The part when he let Tre out the car was the most gangsta scene for me
What's crazier is that this was Cube's debut in movies.
Nothing is sweeter than getting revenge homie.
I had forgotten how many people were in this cast. Looking back, it is insane the talent in this movie and how much success the cast had in their careers.
That’s why John singelton is great mane rip 🙏🏿
Angela Bassett 💜 Laurence Fishburn
too bad some of them didn't get to make it far enough with all the hate in the streets back then, rip rickys killers, dooky, and the dude that gave ricky his ball back in the beginning
Unfortunately most of them ain't here because of the streets
The guy that killed Ricky went to prison for murder and was killed in prison years later
He has a son too fyi..
And was killed in an insanely horrifying way.
Ironic…..
@@tionakwasn’t he killed in a Satanic ritual 😳
@@sergiodavila5269Yeah, his cellmate was a satanist & was sacrificed
Watching the new generation watch this movie really showcases how different things are now and what they think is right 😭 I was watching the reaction so confused but it is good that she took the opportunity to watch it, she needs to try and process why it was like that instead of saying it was wrong. The movie came in the 90s one of the most dangerous times. Real rap
its frustrating sometimes
Mind you, this generation grew up with rap culture. When Boyz n the Hood first came out, there had never been anything like it. There's literally hundreds of 'hood movies' now because it basically invented the genre. These kids almost couldn't be as effected by it as we were when it first dropped. I think Menace to Society would give her a bit more of a visceral reaction to the violence and narrative compared to Boyz which was more operatic....
Exactly! I thought it was just me! I even laughed when she tried to act like it was strange in terms of what they were drinking. If she don’t know that then she can’t possibly have experience living in the hood. It’s a freaking 40 oz of malt liquor 😂 Jeesh! Even saying that simply using protection is a reason one shouldn’t be cautious of being active made me laugh lol. Protection is not 100% proof. This young lady has little to no street sense.
But what I noticed is how she applied these toxic politically correct views to this movie and failed to understand that this was a different time period. Even her not understanding why they had Jheri curls going on evidences that to me. This was the pre-internet/social media days so of course a lot of this wouldn’t make sense to someone who’s a Gen Z person.
And love what you said about that era too being very dangerous. This new generation has no idea. I spent a good chunk of my time in the DC Area during the 90’s when it was the murder capital. DC crime today is peanuts l. I say the same for all the cities comparing them to now. L.A., NYC, Oakland, New Orleans, San Antonio, etc. The 80’s and 90’s were way more brutal than today. Plus, a lot of the stuff these youngster get passes for today, back then they would’ve been checked and rested for. Not to hate but this new generation is strange.
@@watitdufulI was born in 04 but I was raised *everything* 90s and I have so much respect for anyone who lived or even visited those areas at that time. I wasn’t there so the only thing I can compare it to by today’s standards is certain parts of Chicago or Florida (I’m from the south so I was raised in some shady places but tbh nothing like those places in the 80s and 90s)
Fun Fact. The scene when dude was firing his Uzi from the trunk was real. The actors' reactions to the gunfire are not scripted. Ice Cube confirmed Director John Singleton never told any of the actors that real gunfire would be used for this scene.
Ye but everything else is heavily scripted really you can't do social realism films Americans you fail at it all the time always looks cheesy and have to have a message that's why there was lots of parodies of this film making fun of it
@@Tom-uv7ryyou know I was fnna be hella disrespectful but youre right. Everything doesnt need a message, the shock value is the message.
🎯🎯
I heard about that, too.
That was a Mac 10 my guy not a Uzi
This movie is the truth. It tells it like it really was in the hood in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. John Singleton grew up in south central Los Angeles and that’s the main reason why he did this. He wanted too bring an awareness too the gang and drug problem in the area because it’s a movie that has never been done before. Dennis Hopper did Colors of course but that movie didn’t deliver such a powerful dramatic story about surviving in a poverty and gang stricken neighborhood like Boyz N The Hood did. This movie delivered and made quite an impact.
Yeah. Colors made a lot of people who didn’t know aware of the gang problem in LA but it didn’t show anything about how regular people in these neighborhoods lived. It was mostly from the cops perspective.
Doughboy was never appreciated by his mom at all. He barely coexisted. Ricky was the favorite son.
To me, this was one of the saddest things about this movie.
She didn’t like doughboys father and you can tell she loved Ricky’s father but he died so she couldn’t have him it’s sad how some parents treat their children because of how they feel about the other parent
Because they had two different Fathers
@@KikiW89 All the times I have seen this movie, I never knew that.
9:25 Nah the depiction of the kids is accurate. I grew up in South Central in that era, and kids were very much so this mature, somewhat independent, and this vulgar. Some did well in life and some didn't.
We was just like them as little kids in okc in the 90's, with less gangbangin violence
Sacramento And Oakland And Fresno And Stockton is something similar if not the same as well
Yeah,you grow-up fast in the hood.I grew up in Philly in a hood project and it was REAL bad !!! LOL. We called it: LITTLE-BEIRUT.During the 90s Philly was the no-2 in the nation when it came to crime.Philly was what Chicago is today,now it's even worse.But,I don't live there any more,left in late 1994 to join the army.
@@powerbadpowerbad Thank you for your service. 🫡
@@smittybenzo4693 Thank you for recognizing my service.
It’s interesting watching a younger generation watch this movie. Yes, this is exactly like a lot of us grew up in certain neighborhoods, almost no exaggeration from the young era at the beginning up until the ending. It’s funny seeing how some things that are normal to me, were pretty foreign to you.😂
I’d say times have improved in a way. 😊
Facts. I grew up in the nickersons and it was a lot like this. The first body I saw was a cop's and from that day I knew why the cops didn't come around there.
@@Blacklion1883 💯🫡
Lmao it’s CRAZY. She said she wouldnt kill a home invader 😭😵💫😵💫😵💫
That Is something. Never grew up in the hood so I can only imagine what you must have endured coming up. We're black on black crime is the norm. Maybe the director was showing you how nobody really cares about the hood or what people are dealing with within the hood
@@shadow1sd Yep, that’s exactly what he was showing, that people outside of those communities didn’t know or care about the people who had to live in them.
The gang life, police brutality, fights, crime in general unfortunately were common.
I don’t really agree with the Black on Black crime narrative though because people commit crime against the people closest to them. I was a wild kid/teen and got kicked out of high school in my neighborhood freshman year so I had to semi live with my aunt in the suburbs and come back to the projects on weekends. The suburbs were a different kind of crazy. It was 60% Caucasian and that’s the first time I heard about the kind of crime that happens in more affluent areas, even worse than what I was used to hearing about in the hood. Hood crime is mainly based off people not having money, suburban crime is much sicker. This white girl from school woke up one night to see her own father climbing in bed with her…I’ll never forget that. I’m sure maybe some things like that probably happened in the hood too but there wasn’t many actual fathers in a lot of homes, mainly women who let boyfriends come and go.
LOL She is so sheltered, but obviously she grew up different.
July 1991, I was 17 when this movie came out. I spent the summer in Chicago and saw this in a movie theater on the North Side. Here’s the weird part though: The movie theater was PACKED and I was the only Black cat in there (Maybe a couple more). The part where Doughboy and Monster got their revenge on Farris, and you saw the slo-mo of Monster firing that AK, that whole theater cheered! I was tripping!!! 🤣🤣🤣
7:30 that was a 357 Magnum bullet hole, they definitely will put a hole that size in your chest, or your door.
Yep. They’ve been known to almost knock someone’s head off their body.
"You ain't gotta shoot this man" mf literally in yo house uninvited 💀💀 hell yeah I'm blastin his ass

I agree. I would blast his ass too. Better him than me.

As a kid i absolutely talked like they did growing up.... We was some bad ass kids😂😂😂😂
12:30 That don't even make sense? WRONG! "Black Man Ain't Got No Place In The Army" Makes Perfect Sense if you know your history. He was not saying that black people are not allowed to join the army, he was saying it would be the worse thing to do to yourself. You just focused on how the army helps save their country when you have no idea how the government treats their soldiers, especially black people. They say they want you to serve your country like it's something to show gratitude to gain a hero title, when in fact you're just another statistic to add for their profits while stealing or colonizing resources from other countries. Or just another dead soldier to sacrifice for their gain. I mean You think all the veterans got better opportunities? This movie's time period took place long after the Vietnam War, the most meaningless war we ever got involved in (seriously there was no good reason) and so many became homeless and gained Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from it. Most Veterans committed suicide while living harsh lives afterwards or they couldn't face what they had to do to survive, trust me The Veterans mostly never got any help from the government despite what they did for them; and this has been going on for many years. You clearly did not know what you were talking about when what he said is the most real advise he gave to his son. I know this because my dad served his country and he told me "don't be fucking stupid", he may be Hispanic but he had a dark skin complexion, and he never once wanted to tell me what happened. We once had a VHS of PLATOON and it was about the Vietnam war, he was always hide it in the cupboard of the kitchen and he never let me watch it as a kid. But once I grew up I realized why he didn't want me to know. So do your homework, because Racism existed a lot more back then in the Military/Army/Marines etc etc.
Tell me you don't understand sarcasm without telling me you don't understand sarcasm. Ain't nobody reading all of this but I will say when I said that my point was it's bs how true that is. Please just watch the video because my intent wasn't it doesn't make sense.
@@MJWITHOUTSPIDERMAN That was suppose to be sarcasm? because sarcasms you can tell and you sounded too genuine when you said that. So... it was too hard to actually say that? rather than saying "that ain't true". I know now you didn't say that because you explained it but it was poorly expressed when you said it. Because context matters and that's how it sounded when you said "that don't even make sense". You gotta be clear on these things. I'm glad you had to explain it but trust me some people who had Veterans in their family of different colors might take it the wrong way. Just Saying, but I still appreciate the reaction because I love this movie.
my apologies for poorly explaining it, but yes. My incentive was it truly is bs that a black man cannot serve his country because he has no place in the army. I wasn't actually confused or saying it isnt true
“There’s no threat” literally someone shoots an automatic weapon in the air lol 🤣

@@djdavejordan6498it ain that deep
John Singleton really did an excellent job on shining a light on what goes on in the hood. You should also watch Higher Learning, a great impactful film.
Everything in this movie is realistic and it all happened mid 90s in every hood in America
Tre's character is based on the creator of the film John Singleton, and Doughboy's character is based on his child hood best friend "Fatback". In the 1980s Fatback was a reputable Hoover Crip who was known for confrontations, fights, and shootouts. Boyz n the Hood is really a homage to Singleton's life, and how he grew up before he went off to college.
They're blaming him because his lifestyle got his brother killed and the mom wanted Ricky to escape that life.
She blamed him because she didn't Even liked that son
nih that is not what they immediately thought after seein him shot up
Nah you don’t understand life if you look at it that way
Nah that's not why, it's because the mom doesn't like that son and treated him as a failure, so she automatically blamed him for bringing his brother down
Man that's some bullshit. She loved that Ricky more than she ever did with Dough. Ricky got killed because Ferris and them niggas got tilted over one comment.
22:30 They were drinking 40 oz bottles of Malt Liquor. That was the thing back then. 😂
That 357 will make holes that big
Omm that Thang blow heads off
he passed the SAT. he needed a 700 or higher and he got 710 on the test
Yea barely he had just made it he would’ve gone to college
The movie was based on John Singleton’s life. When this first came out, I think that we all bawled when Ricky got shot, I cried from when he got shot till the end 💯 and yes a lot of us grew up this way. I thought that Doughboy was the real victim in the movie. He never had a chance.
MJ : I never seen a kid with a jeri curl!
ME : I was a kid with a jeri curl 😂

@@reneedennis2011same bro 🤦🏾♂️😂
Being afraid of having sex is understandable, using protection does not guarantee that someone won't get pregnant, more than that, STDS/AIDS are always a possibility. Once you start to think about these things, you start to think about "what if I do have a kid", which leads some folks to think about their financial stability, environment, and they start to question themselves, "can I raise a kid?" and things of that nature. Sex is a beautiful thing when you fully trust a person and can be fully intimate, not just physically but psychologically.
Facts! I can attest to this because I was one of those guys. You think you're ready, but the fear of the consequences can take over.
Ricky and Dough boy's mama blamed dough boy and treated him different becuz she hated dough boys daddy but still had some love for rickys dad.
Dough boys dad probably traumatized her in some kinda way and she never healed. Rickys dad was probably a good dude that tried to save her but eventually he either died OR got hooked on crack and left her.
Either way it goes, i think when mothers treat their sons like shit, there's always some hatred for that childs father in the mothers heart.
Yup.
Yup
His friend said that in the Movie
You keep calling Ice Cube "this dude" is Hilarious.. 😂😂😂😂
31:08 Ricky and Doe Boy’s momma was hitting DB out of grief. The metaphor is really that she hitting him because he is the closest embodiment of “the hood” to their family. So realizing your other son was killed like that, gave a natural reaction to the connotations that took your son away (which in her eyes was DB).
Very intricate movie, as my 2nd ‘hood’ cinema that I watched (Friday was 1st), I still ride behind this movie, although I wasn’t born until the mid 90s lol.
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.
He said black man don’t have no place in the army because after we went in the military after every war we came home and got treated worse in its own country then we did over seas
Not to mention the Tuskegee experiments
That is because the last war that Furious known was the Vietnam War and every grunt soldier who came back were treated like trash(whites, blacks, hispanics etc etc) after the US finding out about the war crimes that were committed against innocents in Nam(O was that bad) by some of those grunts.
Everyone had a place in the military for it was those in power at the time that had hidden agendas that betrayed the very principles of the US military.
Because just remember that blacks have served during some of the most important wars in history including the war that lead to the birth of the United States of America. But remember this simple fact and that is racism will always exist for it is part of human nature to judge others who are different.
@@GangstaStan010 That shouldn't have happened and anyone knew it. But they made the excuse of it being for science(tho true it was still cruel).
But in the end we found out what the effects were on certain races and unfortunately that is what lead to human trials in later years.
you gotta do Fresh(1994) that movie is a wildly underrated. i think you'd really enjoy it
My daughter is your age group. I grew up like those guys in the movie. I'm their age...
I did enlist in the Army and I retired after 24 years. It kept me on a path to provide and well. It isn't meant for everyone and I was meant to be there.
My kids saw this movie and said my parents told them I grew up like that but I'm happy my daughter showed me your upload. Good job Ms. MJ and do you.
I served in the navy 7 yrs and then the army 7 rs: LOVED serving in both,I made it fun. LOL. Then deployed to go fight in Iraq ( I volunteered for 4 deployments )with the Texas Guard with an infantry unit in 2005 at Camp TQ ( it was a marine FOB then )we did joint mission with the marines and a PRC unit ( Provisional-Rifle-Company )a marine reserve unit. We were wearing the insurgents out with the MARK-19 !!! LOL. So,they went to the provisional government of Iraq and demanded that particular weapon be banded in Iraq.TOO collateral damage caused was their reason and it worked !!! The mark-19 was banned,at first we were pissed,then I thought it was pretty smart on the insurgents part to get rid of an enemies weapon that's tearing you up.I also did 2 tours back-to-back.My co-workers at my civilian job thought I had quit because I was gone from work for 2 yrs and 8 months doing back-to-back deployments,Then the last 2 tours,I did yr on,year off. 1 yr in Iraq,then 1 yr at civilian job. LOL. I took citizen-soldier to a new level. SEMPER-FI
Crazy
@@powerbadpowerbad who asked for this fat ahh paragraph about yo life??
I can tell that John(the director) had a very low idea on what the military was and I'm not going to sugarcoat anything for the US military(not just the army) have done some very f*cked up stuff. But there have been plenty of troubled black children from the hood who enlisted for one reason or another and those who did turn out for the better and the worst.
There have been plenty of black man who have fought in wars including the very war that helped found the United States of America and the black community from that time to now have made great progress throughout the 248 years that this country existence and lets not forge that there were 2 world wars that would've ended in totalitarian the brave men of the US didn't step up for it was your ancestors who gave you your freedoms that a lot us take for granted.
So d not spit on their graves by telling us that enlisting and joining the military doesn't make sense for Furious has a bit of racism in himself as well for he wanted to have his own form of segregation and calling the army(the white man's army) is a dead give away.
This was back in the early 90s. South central LA, Compton, Long Beach was crazy back then with all the gang violence. Back when gangster rap was at its peak. It was worse than what Chicago was

MJ great reaction you are absolutely hilarious!! Dont feel bad about the tears. I saw this while I was still in high school and the next day girls were literally crying in class saying "I can't believe they shot Ricky...he's dead"! The teachers were like "who's Ricky?!...who shot him" lol
DAMN….that ending with Ricky is…so….damn….tragic. Such a classic movie! LOVE IT! 😑
“You ain’t gotta shoot this man” You want him to bust out a game of UNO to play with someone breaking in to your house or something?
Just stumbled upon your channel(looks like you're a Spidey fan!), dug this reaction! You're young so it's no surprise you hadn't seen this movie before. Glad you liked it.
The actor who played the character who killed Ricky was arrested years later and killed in prison. What happened to him was pretty foul so I won't recount it here.
If you haven't seen Menace II Society, that's another good "hood movie".
Its crazy how a good Dad makes her feel uncomfortable...man...sign of the times
Literally my favorite movie of all time. I enjoyed your reaction. On to the next.
This movie a classic one of Cuba Gooding Jr best movies him, Morris Chestnut, and Ice Cube acted their tails off in this
still my favorite content creator after all this time, love seeing you grow mj
Since we talking about love movies. I HIGHLY recommend “Love & Basketball” it’s a classic. It’s my favorite love story of all time and i definitely think you’ll feel this.
The reason Furious didn't want his kid to go in the army is because they used to put all the black men up front so they can get shot first. I forgot the name of the soldier, but he has a story on UA-cam about how black men were often looked as pawns who's lives didn't matter, and that they'd get shot and killed by "Friendly Fire" too (not an accident).
Thank you for explaining that. I always thought it was because of the way America treated black people. Like why fight for a country that’s not treating you right once you come back home.
Idk how young you are, I wasn't even born in the 90s and I saw this movie when I was a child, and it's always interesting seeing someone's first impression of a classic movie and tv show. By the way you are so pretty 😍😍😍

Old man stopped me one day at my job to have a talk and told me how his time in WW2. One day after all the fighting was done they got the mind to beat his ass. 2 of his white squad mates had beef with him I guess. Broke his collar bone. Here in our lovely land of the free 2 of my cousin's and several other lil ethnic boys got 20 years for a murder they didn't commit, had no DNA evidence for and have video footage of the officers conducting an unlawful interrogation on a minor with a learning disability. Them boys served their full sentences even with the actual perpetrator behind bars. That's why black men ain't got no business in the army. Do it if you want, it won't always be like that but laying your life down for a country that treats us this way seemed too big of a risk for my life to be in danger living here.
Good point.
Been waiting on this one!
your channel is a hidden gem. i’m so happy i found you 😂
It's not the gun that makes whole that big, it's the type of bullet
LAPD was so corrupt in the 90s that it was insane, back then there were no cell phones no cameras no internet no social media nothing. Communication was just word of mouth. South Central LA was scary as fuck in the 90s I was just a kid my father owned an apartment complex in the Crenshaw area I was 14 years old he would take me with him when he had to go down to collect rent or do maintenance. We would come from the San Gabriel Valley that's where we lived and I couldn't wait to get the fuck out of the inner city. This movie portrays SC LA so accurately what an amazing movie.
Some other gang/crime movies u should check are “Blood In Blood Out”, “American Me”, “Training Day”, “Goodfellas”.. classics
Im New To This Channel And Let Me Say This Im Glad You Checking Out These Hood Classics You Gonna Love Them Keep Doing Your Thing Sweetheart 💙
I was a little younger than them when this came out and we all spoke like this in like 3rd 4th grade 😂. You gotta understand we was really outside left to our own devices. This is one of the most realistic depictions of life in Cali back then.
Fishburne killed this Role
You have such a beautiful heart the way you said you didn't like seeing the kids talking mess
Thanks for the powerful, emotional reaction. Keep 'em comin'.
5:11 Why? Because that was a very popular hairstyle back in the 80's. I had it as well 😂
"New Jersey Drive" is a underground classic film from the 90s about teens stealing cars and "Blood in Blood Out" is another sad but great underground gangster flick
That gun 100% leaves holes like that also this was our lifes a lot of us needed a Furious in our lives.
I seen this movie in the theater when it first came out, when the movie was over not one word was spoken when everyone exited theater. It was that deep.
That cop is literally Uncle Ruckus also you gotta see Dont Be A Menace After you watch Menace To Society
I have already reacted to don't be a menace on the channel!

I dont know if u doin the editing or not but its a chefs kiss 👍🏽
Ice Cube's final monologue -- about how "they don't know, don't show, or don't care about what's goin' on in the hood" -- pretty much sums up why this movie was made in the first place.
I guess it’s fitting and in some ways good you younger generations found some of things in this film crazy or shocking. But this film is VERY accurate at that time. I grew up around this kind of environment. If you were lucky there was someone like Tre’s dad to try to really teach you about responsibility and living up to your potential. I can remember cousins and even some “friends” who did nothing but hang out all day drinking and doing drugs and then at night commit crimes to get more alcohol and drugs. A vicious cycle. I hope young teens really watch this movie and see how life has a really sad ending if you go down a dark path. You’re right in saying “It shouldn’t be like this.” But it was a crazy time. How messed up was it that if you wore the wrong color clothing...you could be killed for a rival gang colors. That’s how crazy it was. And John Singleton was praised for portraying an accurate slice of life “in the hood” with an incredible cast of talented actors.
Tales from the Hood(1995)
Underrated gem. Watch with the lights out.😁
It is
I always say this is one of THE best movies ever made, if not the best. I have seen it a million times since it came out and will cry every. single. time. So many jewels and gems. So much deeper than a movie. Damn. Thanks for watching this. Even though it was 1991, the message is the same. New players every generation but they are all playing the same old game.
Watched this at the cinema with my girlfriend and her sister when it came out. Outer suburbs of Melbourne Australia. Normally with emotional stuff people have a few quiet tears. People were literally wailing crying.
12:38 once this song was playing, I just bust out singing the whole song. 😂I’m not old, but I just grew up mostly around older people and my family.
Lol they're drinking 40s. Old E is a malt liquor beer that was very popular in the late 80s and early 90s
That's how it really was in the 90s for me growing up
Loving your reaction videos to my favorite movies, saw you do Blood in Blood out yesterday now this, my wife and daughters dont care to watch these shows so nice to see someone enjoying them
All these questions you ask, you make me feel so old 😭😭😭. Awesome reaction.
The "afraid" thing has nothing to do with STD or using protection. Some people are just shy. Some people are scared to just speak to people. And sex is like the most intimate thing one can do.
We were definitely talking like this when we were in elementary back in the 90s
Uh ok
I’m glad you’re understanding so well because the ghetto is very hard to understand if you weren’t taught it good or bad
sweetie that's how we talk in the hood in the 90s 🤣
This is one of the best movies ever made
31:55 Right there the reason why single mothers are a bad idea for a young boy!
Emotional response just like the young man.
Furious being a true father and an grown man understands Tre's emotional reaction but also understands that if he allows him to go and take revenge someone else later will come after him.
It's a never ending cycle!
This is one of the main messages of the movie and it resonates to the realities in the black community to this day!
Didn't Doughboy take revenge and got put out two weeks later?Yeah!
Just like Denzel once said:"My childhood friends most are locked up or dead because unlike me they had no father around".
Doughboy's mother also had a horrible influence on him and the reason why he was so harsh with women is because he resented his mother and her lack of love for him.
"What am i supposed to do let a fool smoke me,I'll smoke him first" that young man said to Furious.
25:18 Furious:"i want you to think about your future young brother"...Furious was dropping life lessons all along this movie.
Im 47 now, and I grew up in the Hood. I saw this when it came out, this movie is very accurate. This was the "normal."
his dad’s first priority was making sure his son was safe and was waiting to see if he’d come home and then his 2nd emotion comes in as pissed off knowing he son snook out and knows why rafter tricking his dad that he was staying home. that’s why he slammed the door
You know what show I think you’d like? ‘The Wire’. If watching the kids at the beginning of ‘Boyz N the Hood’ hurt, wait until you get to the fourth season of ‘The Wire’.
Season 4 is my favorite season. If you grew up in the hood and you was outside, that season will remind you of you and your crew no matter what city .
@@HungLoMein Understandable! My sister and I never grew up in the hood but that’s her favorite season, as well. That was the most affective season in my opinion.
Girl stuff like that does happen though! It was a different time and era.. but people some of them they meet and instantly.. click or hook up..! Also because it was a different time, the rating of what can be allowed to show or not show was also different.. it's a product for it's time but still has alot of lessons, morality and realism that still applies today.
Great reaction 😂🔥🔥🔥 legendary movie
