LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

juanmuscle Boyz N the Hood to me speak from a place that breaths life to the darkness, the soot and grime we want to keep in that very darkness. There is nothing I don't absolutely love about Boyz, and although I happen to be a super fan of Menace II, being that I have never seen anybody do what the Hughes Brothers do with a camera , I mean they do not need a budget, their imagination has imagination, they can get it done. Boyz to me, is the sort of pedagogue from which to learn, it assumes the meritorious titular teacher of the thematic film-making for more than just "lets roll and have some fun". But I came here because , time after time I experience Boyz, I just have to say one thing, Film cannot encapsulate everything that Mr. Singleton is, he is beyond words bearing the ineffable, not only in universal wisdom but in the arts of aesthetics. I would love to read something by Mr. Singleton in a sort of non-linear formless stream of consciousness about everything that is the great John Singleton....

ladyman-47324 Watching this movie, you understand why John SIngleton had to make it, and you're glad he did. Unpretentious, unflashy, just real. Doesn't have to create a lot of fake drama to get you interested, just shows the truth of difficult circumstances. The performances are great - Cuba is as good in this as in Jerry Maguire.

monstermayhem32 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.

Cameronius Explodius McMonius Boyz n the Hood was released in 1991 and was directed by John Singleton. The movie is about three young men, Tre, Doughboy and Ricky who are trying to cope with the dangerous society that they live in and find a way to overcome it. One thing I loved about this film was how honest it was. It wasn't afraid to display the reality of situations which were indeed happening in real life. I think a reason it was so realistic was the fact that much of it was based off the director's own life. Speaking of the director, this was his debut film and to say this was his first he did a great job. He was also the youngest person ever to be nominated for an Academy Award at the time too. All of the cast gave great performances, the one who surprised me the most was Ice Cube. If you knew that Ice Cube was in the movie and your reaction was "That isn't going to work any day", then I take it you've only seen the Ride Along movies. I was surprised by how sincere his character and acting was and I think the conflicts he had to face with the N.W.A and the police in the past added to his character as his character is someone who has had many run-ins with the police in the past. Another performance I was surprised by was Laurence Fisburne as the main character Tre's (Cuba Gooding Jr.) father. He displayed the qualities of a good father and someone who managed to connect with the character of Tre in multiple situations. It's probably my personal favourite performance of his that I've seen. Like I mentioned earlier, this movie wasn't afraid to display the truth and it did it well, with many emotionally intense scenes and also many surprisingly relatable ones too. It displayed perfectly the difficulty of life for everyone living there and you felt for their characters. It also provides a good message of the right way to fight back against all of these bad things. I believe that the themes of this movie will likely stay relevant for quite a while and they can be applicable to just about anyone too and this is the reason why I think that this movie will remain important for many years to come. No wonder it's apart of the Sony Classics Collection. Overall, this was a much deeper film than I expected to see that wasn't afraid to show the realism of situations that were also going on in the real world and carried across a good and moving message. I would highly recommend this film. 8.2/10
