		Watching her bright young son on the brink of his teenage years, seeing him begin to listen to his troublesome friends instead of to her, the mother in "Boyz N the Hood" decides that it is best for the boy to go live with his father.
		These are the stark choices in John Singleton's "Boyz N the Hood," one of the best American films of recent years.
		"Boyz N the Hood" has maturity and emotional depth: There are no cheap shots, nothing is thrown in for effect, realism is placed ahead of easy dramatic payoffs, and the audience grows deeply involved.

	Fatherless “Boyz N the Hood”
		Boyz N the Hood includes, among many topics, a father's essential role in his son's healthy development and the disastrous effects a father’s absence has on children and society.
		In Boyz N the Hood the main character, Tre, is one of the few boys in the neighborhood who has a father in his life.
		Boyz N the Hood does not really include concrete solutions for preventing father absence, other than the fact that it is extremely important for a father to remain in his son's life.

	Movieman's Guide to the Movies - Special Movie Review of 'Boyz n the Hood'.
		“The Hood” is a world in which its inhabitants are ensured failure through their own self-destruction, yet are also preordained to misery through a never ending stream of guns, liquor and a detached indifference from a prejudiced society.
		Boyz n the Hood, nevertheless, achieves the perfect balance between social commentary and entertainment—a feat not even truly accomplished by fellow auteur and race centered filmmaker, Spike Lee.
		Boyz n the Hood is a powerful, thought provoking reflection on a culture that white America cheerfully observes from a distance on the evening news, yet nervously avoids when given a face-to-face encounter.

	Boyz 'N The Hood
		"Boyz N the Hood" is a film about a group of fl teenagers in South Central L.A. The main character, Tre, is a 17-year-old on the verge of going to college.
		Boyz N the Hood is a better movie because the effects of positive role models are seen through the portrayal of violence, crime, and family values.
		By examining role models and their effects on violence, crime, and family values, "Boyz N the Hood" conveys a much deeper message on how the problem of fl youth violence should be solved.

	Boyz N The Hood, in depth analysis
		By closely analysing at least one key scene from Boyz N The Hood, explain how the way the scene(s) is filmed adds to our understanding of it.
		Although Boyz N The Hood doesn’t really fit into a genre, it has been described as a powerful drama about growing up in Black Urban America, by director, John Singleton, who grew up in the ‘Hood’ himself.
		I think Boyz N The Hood is an effective movie because it shows the whites what it is like for the people living in the ghettos, it shows a way out for the people actually living like that and whether you’re fl or white, each person can identify with someone in the film.

	Boyz N The Hood: Anniversary Edition (1991)
		Boyz N The Hood is the critically acclaimed story of three friends growing up in a South Central Los Angeles neighborhood, and of street life where friendship, pain, danger and love combine to form reality.
		At times, Boyz N the Hood manages some power, and I can’t deny the influential nature of the flick, as it helped open some doors for minority filmmakers.
		Boyz N the Hood appears in both an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 and in a fullscreen version on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the widescreen image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

	‘Boyz N the Hood’ (R)
		"Boyz N the Hood" is a rude, insistent rap, an unflinching, often funny, always compassionate look at coming of age in South Central Los Angeles.
		As a 23-year-old fl man who grew up in the 'hood himself, he knows only too well that life can be short.
		Mostly "Boyz N the Hood" focuses on epidemic problems in the African American community: the drug users, the overzealous fl cops out to impress their white partners, the awful chasm between fl men and women.

	BBC - Films - Boyz N The Hood: Special Edition DVD
		In 1991, at just 22-years-old, John Singleton made his directorial debut with Boyz N The Hood, a blistering coming-of-age story set against the turmoil of gang warfare in South Central Los Angeles.
		It was Boyz N The Hood," says Ice Cube, who made the switch from rapper to actor after giving Singleton a ride home from a party one night.
		Laurence Fishburne was also having a difficult time: "I had to get over the fact the film wasn't about me." But soon enough the boyz (and Larry) would be reeling from the huge success of the film, both at the box office and with the movie-going public.

		These dirty south ambassadors convey the realities of their ‘hood in a way that is so authentic, so undeniably real, that it commands a level of respect from the streets and the industry alike.
		“If you break the hood down, there’s always an OG in the hood, always a hustler in the hood, always the edge-hanging, grimy nigga in the hood and a lotta young niggas in the hood so this was what was happening everyday and it really just came together like that.
		Also in that ‘day in the hood’ vein is the song “Slizzered.” “That’s talking about ‘my granny up knocking at my bedroom door but I’m still slizzered from the night before…It’s basically talking about a day in the ‘hood or what we did the night before,” explains Duke.

	Nick's Flick Picks: The Blog: Picked Flick #36: Boyz N the Hood
		Boyz was, in every way, the biggest hit of the bunch, and despite the grim despair that permeates its climactic cycle of violence, it augured most brightly for the future.
		Perhaps it is a convenient, retrospective fallacy to see in Boyz an allegory for the cruelly limited ecosystem of fl Hollywood, where even the brightest talents have a hard time breaching the stern perimeters of ideology and corporate subservience.
		However forthrightly the film implores us to "Increase the Peace," Boyz conveys a rigorous sense of how difficult and self-alienating this seemingly faultless imperative can be, and Ice Cube, without glamorizing or glorifying Doughboy in the slightest, invests the character with his own critical, introspective grasp of this predicament.

	The Films of John Singleton: Boyz N the Hood (1991)
		I remember being thunderstruck when I first saw the then-23-year-old Singleton's Boyz N the Hood the summer of 1991, and nearly eight years later, the film still packs a tremendous wallop.
		While a modest film, Boyz tells an emotionally sweeping, true-to-life story, which can undoubtedly be attributed to the fact that much of the film derived from Singleton's real-life experiences.
		While his subsequent efforts have not approached the critical and popular acclaim of this landmark debut, they are similar to Boyz in the sense that they clearly reflect a distinctive cinematic voice that, while not completely successful in every outing, never fails to be interesting.

		Boyz N the Hood is a landmark film beyond its commercial success, presenting a portrait of South Central in the late '80s and early '90s as painted by Singleton (who grew up in that neighborhood), achieving accuracy and dramatic resonance in this story of at-risk youth.
		"Boyz N the Hood" is a touching and exhilarating drama that plays on all of one's emotions.
		Unlike the others which were basically capitalizing on the fascination with, and at times glorifying, thuggery and "hood" culture, "Boyz" actually had powerful messages not only about the senselessness of inner city violence and the need to stop it but about the importance of young fl men having positive male figures in their lives.

		And in a poignant, spot-on conclusion it is ultimately Ricky who forces Tre and Doughboy to choose their own paths in life, to either be drawn into the ghetto's spiral of violence, or conquer their inner demons and extricate themselves from that vicious circle.
		Yet, while "Boyz N the Hood" paints a starkly accurate picture of inner city life's daily realities, it in no way encourages violence - much to the contrary.
		But while neither such charges nor their "white" response are the be-all and end-all of the problem, there is no question that drugs, alcoholism and guns are major issues in the 'hood, as are teen pregnancies and unemployment; and Singleton intelligently weaves all of these elements into a compelling picture.
