About this movie

BOYZ N THE HOOD is the critically acclaimed story of three friends growing up in a South Central Los Angeles neighborhood. It is a place where harmony co-exists with adversity, especially for three young men growing up there: Doughboy (Ice Cube), an unambitious drug dealer; his brother Ricky (Morris Chestnut), a college-bound teenage father; and Ricky's best friend Tre (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), who aspires to a brighter future beyond "The Hood." In a world where a trip to the store can end in death, the friends have diverse reactions to their bleak surroundings. Tre's resolve is strengthened by a strong father (Larry Fishburne)who keeps him on the right track. But the lessons Tre learns are put to the ultimate test when tragedy strikes close to home, and violence seems the only recourse.

I liked this film because of the the ethnic challenges set in front of the father Furious Styles (Fishburne) and the raising of his son in the backdrop of racism from the LAPD, the destruction of young black men by gangs and their fighting over drugs everyday and lastly the multitude of challenges set in front of Tre Styles (Gooding Jr) and the bonds of Friendship, Sorrow, Fear, Sex, Ambition and Crime for a young black man growing up on the right side of the tracks under his fathers tutelage and discipline.
