In certain neighbors in this country, for example the south side of Chicago, you can see very big similarities in this movie. Such us black on black crime, and we can also talk about the black lives matter movement. As most people would say how come black lives doesn’t matter when other black people kill other black people. In my opinion, to understand this concept you have to look in the big depth of why are they been killed. A black life doesn’t matter when other black people are killed them, because violence of one another can occurred anytime without cause. But when those who suppose to protect people are killing them. In everyday news we see what happens to certain black people, because the fact of their skin, it use to happen before but we notice because of technology and cops are been observed now a

John Singleton’s film, Boyz N the Hood, displays the challenging upbringing of adolescents who have to live with harsh conditions around not only their home but also their surrounding town. The film compares the differences between the lifestyles of Tre Styles and his friends’, Darren and Ricky Baker. Darren and Ricky are half-brothers who are nothing alike. Singleton demonstrates the importance of male leadership in a home in the ghetto of Los Angeles by comparing the difference between the lifestyles of Tre and his friends. While many adolescents in the hood have close friendships, some form close relationships by assembling gangs and create a world of violence due to alcohol abuse, which together ultimately breeds discrimination.

The movie “Boyz N’ the Hood” is a story centered on the issues that are seen in the urban areas of Los Angeles every day. Tre (the main character) is raised in a way that seems to be correct but he still ends up being a part of criminal activity. While watching this film in an academic setting it is easy to see the social and political reform messages that are being communicated to the audience. On the political side it is easy to see the race and ethnicity of the film maker while on the social side the audience can tell the filmmaker is spreading a message. All together “Boyz N’ the Hood” is a very good film that depicts the type of stuff that happens in the poorer parts of Los Angeles.

It's a very emotional movie that evoked strong reactions from its audience, including me who cried multiple times throughout the movie. I believe it hit all of the targets of the life of a Black individual in America, and helped its non-black viewers better understand the struggles that we face. As a Black individual in America, I can relate to the experiences and challenges depicted in The Hate U Give. Additionally, it's helped me understand how to act, and what to do in the case of racial profiling and encounters with law enforcement. It's taught me to be vigilant, know my rights, and advocate for justice in the

For example, sanitation workers had to carry bags of garbage that had holes in them and since they were paid low wages, they ended up poor on welfare. Not only was this film was a way of seeing another turning point during the civil rights movement but also, African Americans fighting for justice. Even though I was not born during that time, I can understand how they felt because it wasn’t that easy. In today’s society racism isn’t as bad as what it was during that time. Besides we still have times were we face racism in our lives so I would say in some areas racism is still a

Raising the question of morality is essential to the works of a good anti-hero. The framework of a sufficiently run society is based on the principles built behind good moral and judgement of the people. The McMannus brothers, from The Boondock Saints, epitomize raising the doubt of morality. The two Irish-Catholic brothers from Boston serve as vigilantes whom believe are shepards sent from God. Connor and Murphy McMannus take the utilitarian approach by taking the judgement of the law into their own hands.

The film Boyz N the Hood is a story about life in South Central Los Angeles. The film was wrote and directed by John Singleton in 1991. I chose this movie because of its relevance to the course and how it reflects pop culture in that time period. The opening line in the movie “one out of every twenty-one Black American males will be murdered in their lifetime” really catches the audience attention (Nicolaides & Singleton, 1991). This movie goes into detail and shows the life of three young males living in the hood of Los Angeles battling a life surrounded by drugs, violence, and questions of race.

There has been so many cases of law officials attacking and even killing young black males based on their ‘suspicions’ of illegal and violent activities. For example: Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner and many others have all fallen victim to racial profiling by the police. Another example the movie ‘Fruitvale Station’ which was based on a true story, some black males had an altercation on the train and got off when the police were alerted. Although, they were guilty, all the police saw were black people who immediately fit their profile of crime suspects. So, without question, they were arrested and one was shot and died on the spot.
