3 views of black male life in the inner city
Boyz in the Hood was John Singleton’s first release in 1991. It presented three visions of black male life in the inner city. This was a pressing issue at the time because as the opening sequence said 1 of 21 black men were being murdered at the time, often at the hands of another black male. That needed to stop, which was why there was a close up of a stop sign.<br /><br />The three main characters represented the different paths for black men.<br /><br />One was Cuba Gooding Jr’s Tre Styles. He had both parents even though they were separated. He did good in school and wanted to go to college. His father Laurence Fishburne, as Furious Styles taught him about African history and black pride and continued to preach to him into his teen years. Fishburne also tried to instill discipline in Gooding, something that many of the other kids never got at home. That’s something Fishburne told him when he was growing up. The point being that young men needed male role models. He was tempted to join in on the neighborhood’s violence, but his upbringing stopped him.<br /><br />Morris Chestnut as Ricky Baker was a high school football star who believed that sports was his ticket out of the ghetto. He gets recruited by USC, but he doesn’t have a vision for his life outside of football. He also struggled with his SATs to be eligible for a university. He had a baby and gets killed in a drive by, Singleton’s way of saying that this was not a good way to lift up black men.<br /><br />Finally Ice Cube as Doughboy Baker was Chestnut’s half brother who cared about his friends, hanging out, and all the trouble that entailed. His mother not only neglected him, but berated him from an early age taking out her frustration with his daddy on him. She also liked Chestnut much better because of his football skills. He represented all the boys that got caught up in the hood, and had no future besides that. That included going in and out of jail which started when he was a little kid. Their life was about survival, while they also perpetuated all the problems of the community.<br />C
