Amy Petter- Boyz N The Hood(1991)


Boyz N The Hood
1991
Director: John Singleton


            This film was one of my favorites that I’ve had to watch for this project. The movie was funny and pretty realistic as portraying the “hood life”. The way the actors act in the movie and the scenarios are everything you would typically stereotype them to be. The stereotype reaches from their lingo, to smoking cigarettes inside, trash everywhere, and sirens sounding nonstop.
            In the beginning of the movie, the kid exploring the ghetto was more of an establishing shot. It portrayed the hood to be dirty, poverty struck, and crime ridden. I found that much like in Father of the Bride, some of the music was much too loud. It took away from the actual scene of the movie. Some of the music is typical rap that you would hear, which I felt went along great with the movie, but some of it was more like elevator music that annoyed me.
            Overall, I thought that this was a great movie from 1991. The music was the only thing that really bothered me. I would definitely recommend this movie to others. The quality of the movie was very good.
