Boyz In The Hood Review

Firstly, this movie helped John Singleton have a phenomenal directorial debut as it was deemed as one of greatest of its times and received many nominations including the oscars. The movie is based upon the livelihood of three young black males living in South Central, Los Angeles.  
The movie really brought awareness towards the challenging upbringing from deprived areas such as South Central and its almost inevitable effects. For example, Dough boy who lacks parental guidance and destituted from good influential figure in life ends up unable to disassociate himself from temptations and struggles he faces. Another character that we sympathise deeply for was Ricky as he working towards successful and fulfilled life, he is the polar opposite of his half brother. Ricky's death symbolises the cruel and unfair hardship of living in such environments. Lastly, the main protagonist, Tre is able to successfully further himself even though  he is traumatised several times within the movie as he exposed to police brutality, murder of his best friend but is able to overcome his circumstance due to his  incredible father who has done the same.
