"It's Called Gentrification" | Boyz ’N The Hood
Three decades later, a lesson still falling on deaf ears.
I loved how he talked to them all so respectfully, both young and old. He wasn't blaming anyone just trying to educate
Laurence Fishburne went from playing Jimmy Jump in King of New York, one of the most flamboyant and unhinged gangster characters you'll ever see on screen, to the calm and academic Furious Styles just a year later in Boys 'N The Hood. Brilliant actor.
“It’s the 90s we can’t afford to be afraid of our people anymore man” ohhh if only you knew what ur in for 30 years down the road 💀
Gotta love the instant respect Furious gets from the gangsters, sounds like they been talking about the billboard amongst themselves for awhile
"The only part that's universal is the math."
I love how Furious ain’t just teaching the young generation he teaching the older generation too
I love how we can see the reason why Tre is so intelligent and academically-inclined. He got it from his dad.
I liked how the old man addressed "that crack rock and shit" he really wanted for his community to be better than it was
The thing I appreciate about this…is that no one is really WRONG. Furious is right about the end result, the old man is right about the immediate circumstances that contribute and the young brotha is right about having no choice but to have to survive in a situation he didn’t choose but inherited. We always have simple answers and lay superficial blame but it is never that simple.
The fact that Boyz "N The Hood is in The National Film Preservation Foundation shows that is more valuable than the Oscars or any popular film and tv awards. This film, among others in the Foundation will be around forever.
Months after this movie came out John Singleton was a guest on the Tom Leykis Show. He talked about how when he was growing up they would sometimes see box cars full of automatic weapons and ammunition just suddenly showing up on old deserted railroad tracks.
As a white dude, my father told me back in the late 80s that Furious was 100% right about this and the army. You gotta respect truth no matter who or when it's spoken.
Its amazing to think that Lawrence Fishbourne played this role Boyz n the Hood. Then went on to play Ike Turner and Morpheus. 3 different styles. The man has range in his acting.
Man, John Singleton left his mark on the world with this one. Furious is a great dad and Tre was blessed to have both parents love him and care about him. You can tell that Furious was like a father/mentor to Ricky as well. Doughboy could've been saved but he didn't try hard enough unfortunately.
Million dollars worth of game ,knowledge and or education
I like how they was just standing by the billboard and somehow drew a crowd
Not sure if it’s the nostalgia of this movie watching it as a kid but man it just seems like there was something different about films like this you don’t see today. The mood, the dialogue, the message. 🔥
"The only part that is universal is the math" - 1990
This is literally the best scene in the movie. It literally has the same plot as those “and everyone stood and clapped” posts except it feels real, none of it feels forced or preachy. It’s just some dudes talking about the problems they’re facing in the world
