Boys in the Hood 1991 post #10

Brittany Garcia  1991 Boyz in the Hood Directed by: John singleton  Thus movie begins so bluntly. The first began showing two statistics. The first, that one out of ever twenty-one Black American males will be murdered in their lifetime; the second that most of those will die at the hands of a other black male. That's a saddening truth. Carrying on, a group of kids are walking to school in Inglewood, California. Their conversation begins with, "did you hear this gunshots last night?" these kids are not even in middle school yet and they are already being exposed to such violence and crime. As they walk a little further toward school, one kid asks, "why is the blood turning yellow?" as they stare down to the ground where someone had been shot. Unfortunately, there are kids out there that gave things like this everyday. Later on in the movie, two kids in class get into an argument. They start cursing back and forth at each other and both get suspended. The teacher calls their homes to speak with parents. Tré styles, one of the two young boys, who wS living with his mom, gets sent away to live with his father and South Central, Los Angeles for misbehaving. Here, a whole new set of adventures begins. I could Talk for house about this movie and everything it entails. The movie though is filled with gang trouble, violence, and more. It is extremely sad but a pretty good depiction of what the "hood" is and what goes on in it.
