Boyz N the Hood

In 1984, Central Los Angeles, Tre is the only child of Furious. When Tre was a little, he lived with his mom who was divorced with his father , she had hard time to raise him up alone as a “man”. After that Tre has lived his father. His father is very smart , but not kind. Tre has a trouble in his adolescent hood and hard time with gun fire in black community. One day , his best friend, Ricky was killed by other black gang and his brother did do revenge and died, too.

I think that it is very different with who movie director is. If movie directors who is white make African American movie, they deal with segregation, desire about freedom, or process of accomplishing their goal. Also, in the movie, they can tell us African American can be saved their life by White people. However, is it the same as African American movie which made by African American director? Sometimes it is or not. They can explain ‘increase peace’ like as the end of the movie.

Who is enemy of African American? Most of people can think easily answer that it is White. But it is not. The answer is black. In the beginning of this movie, we can see “ One out of every twenty-one Black Americans male will be murdered in their lifetime.” “Most will die at the hands of another Black male”.

Main Characters in this movie are Tre, Ricky and Darin. Drain is a gang, and Ricky is a football player and Tre is a smart and kind. The reason how Tre keep good personality and concept of his life is his father. His father is very strict and smart. One day, Ricky died suddenly when he went to market. It was very shock and cruel violent. I think it is warning about whoever can die easily in black community. As a result, Tre and Darin decided to revenge to killer, but Tre stopped it. He realized that it is not meaningful anymore and they should stop.

It is great movie. It represents that problems in Black community and explain how to solve their problem. It is right decision in real world.

    Don't forget to analyze. Most of this is a description of the film.

    What do you mean by: "Also, in the movie, they can tell us African American can be saved their life by White people." I am confused by the way that this is stated. Can you rephrase it or explain it better?
