      It can satisfy a little curiosity about the black neighborhood, right?

      The gangster is displayed from the inside of the black neighborhood, and the character image is very full. The establishment of the character image under the lens is logical, which satisfies the so-called stereotype of the audience, and the feeling is smooth and true.

      What is more special is that there are two families interspersed from beginning to end, two generations, living and raising in a poor neighborhood. Tre's father did not hesitate to...

      A true African American movie

      The movie has no special effects, no exaggerated characters, no unbelievable plot, and truly shows the living environment and social status of blacks in the 1990s. As long as they get a gun, the blacks will kill people unscrupulously at will.

        The protagonist’s parents divorced, and the mother gave up her son in pursuit of a better life and left it to his father. This child has been mixed with ice from time to time, and ice also has an older brother who loves to play rugby....

      Boyz n the Hood, a movie about Gangster

      There is no doubt that Boyz n the Hood is a movie about Gangster. First of all, from the background of the shooting, it is concentrated in the Crenshaw residential area in the Southern District, where there are a large number of black poor living. In the 1950s and 90s, this place was notoriously high crime rate. The second is the plot inside. "Tre's father found a thief who had stolen his house, and he was about to burst with a gun." "At a street jockey, Rickey had a kick with a Bloods...

      Black Americans who are free from stereotypes personally desire similar things

      The main creation of a black water, so this film entered the heart of the black ethnic group, and did not become a stereotype.

      Although the actor is in a chaotic and poor neighborhood, he has a transparent mind and unremitting efforts under the education of his parents.

      Several scenes in which the protagonist is extremely eager to grow, but often encounters challenges and humiliations from the adult world, are very moving under the exquisite performance of the male protagonist....

    Movie quotes

    • Doughboy: Yo, cuz, I know why you got outta the car last night... shouldn't have been there in the first place. You don't want that shit to come back to haunt you. I ain't been up this early in a long time. I turned on the TV this morning, they had this shit on about... about living in a violent world. Showed all these foreign places... I started thinking, man, either they don't know, don't show, or don't care about what's going on in the hood. Man, all this foreign shit, and they didn't have shit on my brother, man.

      [sniffles]

      Doughboy: I ain't got no brother. Got no mother, either. She loved that fool more than she loved me.

      Sheryl: [running up to the porch] Doughboy! You got some blow? Got some rock?

      Doughboy: Yo, get the fuck out my face! Keep them goddamn babies out the street!

      Tre Styles: [Sheryl leaves] Did y'all get 'em?

      Doughboy: [wipes his eyes and looks at Tre. Tre shakes his head] I'ont even know how I feel about it, neither, man. It just goes on and on, you know. Next thing you know, somebody might try and smoke me. Don't matter, doe. We all gotta go sometime, huh?

    • [after all the men shove their way past the women to get to the food first]

      Tre Styles: Hey, hey! Why don't you all act like gentlemen and let these ladies eat first.

      [He motions to Doughboy for assistance]

      Doughboy: Yeah. Y'all act like you ain't never had no barbecue before. The ladies eat. Ho's gotta eat too.

      Shalika: Wait a minute, niggah, who you callin' a ho? I ain't no ho!

      Doughboy: Oh, I'm sorry bitch.

      Mrs. Baker: [She smacks Doughboy] Hey, hey! Watch your mouth.

      Doughboy: I'm just playin'!

    • Doughboy: You know how to play Spades, Dooky?

      Dooky: Somethin' like that.

      Doughboy: I got somethin' for you to suck on.
