#BOYZ N THE HOOD RICKY MOVIE#
Especially since the movie he had written and directed gave insight and a visualization to the messages delivered in most of the so called “gangster rap” music at the time. When writer and director of Boyz N the Hood, John Singleton, was asked about why he chose to spell the movie’s title the way he did, he said that it was a stylistic choice that signified the forging of an anti-establishment identity in rap music. I think now would be a good time to share that the actually spelling of the movie title is “Boyz N the Hood”, not “Boys in the Hood”. The movie tells the story of the three young boys as they deal with all of the violence and turmoil of their neighborhood while simply trying to pursue typical adolescent activities. For that reason, none of them think they know everything about life – nor are they hardened criminals like most of the other kids on their block. Each of these young men have had to deal with their fair share of tragedy growing up. Tre, Ricky, and Doughboy, are all childhood friends who grew up together in the hood of South Central. If you haven’t seen it, Boys in the Hood is an iconic movie about 3 boys growing up in L.A. The film was nominated for Best Original Screenplay and Best Director. It’s the kind of movie that leaves you thinking about it for days after watching it and hoping that there’s some way you can magically fix all of society’s ills. You really can’t help rooting for the “boys in the hood” even while they’re doing some messed up stuff. It has all of the typical stuff – drugs, murder, sex, revenge – but it also explores issues like poverty and broken families. Boys in the Hood is much more than just a 90’s gangster film.
