CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Furious (Laurence Fishburne) lectures Tre (Cuba Gooding Jr.) and Ricky (Morris Chestnut) about the dangers of lowering property values in the black community.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Director John Singleton's debut chronicles the trials and tribulations of three young African-American males growing up in South Central Los Angeles. When young Tre (Cuba Gooding Jr.), a bright underachiever, begins to show signs of trouble, his struggling professional mother (Angela Basset) sends him to live with his father (Lawrence Fishburne), a hard-nosed, no-nonsense disciplinarian. There he befriends Ricky (Morris Chestnut), a burgeoning football star, and Doughboy (Ice Cube, in a standout performance), a would-be gang banger. Over the years, each chooses his own path: Tre seems bound for college; Ricky is a blue-chip running back with his pick of schools; Doughboy is a dope dealer and bona fide gangster who drifts in and out of the county juvenile facility. All is well until, without warning, a rival gang chases down Tre and Ricky with tragic results. Doughboy immediately prepares for revenge, forcing Tre to decide whether to jeopardize his future and, perhaps, his life for the price of revenge and self-respect. Sometimes riveting, Boyz'N the Hood is not without its problems. The film tries to cram every single issue facing the black community into an hour and a half of screen time, making the film seem at times forced. The symbolism seems forced as well, and the film is often unbearably heavy-handed. Also, the characterization often relies on cardboard cut-outs; every white character in the film is a one-dimensional bigot, and the black police officer with whom Tre and his father deal is even worse than his Caucasian counterparts. Still, the unevenness of the film is redeemed by some moments of true brilliance.

Morpheus was already Morpheus before he became Morpheus
BlackBeardDelight187
fuk Morpheus, thats on some nerd sht. this Furious Styles...
BlackBeardDelight187 lmaoooo
this is the matrix, and this is morpheus before he got disconnected from it
HAHAHAHAHAHA I love this comment
BlackBeardDelight187 and his daughter is a porno actress. Irony
Lawrence Fishburne was handing out those red pills years before the Matrix
😂😂😂😅😅😅
Lol
Gotta give him a like because this is straight reality

FACTS!!!
I don’t think Lawrence fishburne gets enough credit for his acting. He’s phenomenal
No I don't like how he acted he acts better in other movies
I Know Know That's Right Give Laurence His Flowers
He did an excellent job in this movie.
Criminal they didnt ask him back for matrix 4
His daughter too 💯
I like this scene because Furious wasn't being judgemental toward those guys that walked across the street, therefore they respected him and engaged him in conversation. This is the way we should be with our youth today.
Yeah, The guy taking off his shades before he spoke imo was showing legit respect and seriousness despite his wording.
Facts this is what I try to do
He smacked that lad with knowledge so hard his eyebrows fell off!
I just noticed that😂😂
Ladybug 😂
Craig O neill fell off? Na... FLEW off. 👊🏿😎
🤣🤣🤣
Craig O neill , eyebrows are useless.
It's ironic that his name was Furious. He was the most calm, patient, erudite and learned brother in all South Central
I believe you are right, as i believe he had a violent youth growing up and after having a son his life changed completely, that's my guess, though.
He was Furious with his knowledge. I like to think that was the point.
@@Si_Mondo goddamn, that was right on the money.
No sarcasm here, just respect!
I know it’s too late but the should’ve made a movie about him that led up to this point and named it Furious
There's alot of real Furious in every hood.
He talked to them and not down on them, Something I wish my elders would do more of. This scene makes you feel good cus you got young dudes who are living that life of danger but yet at the same time listening to someone who genuinely wants better for them. They could have told him shut up and be hostile. Communication and education is so important
Yup ,my father died when I was 8 my older brother tried to lead me right but he was always talking at us .I knew he was right but the way he talked just made me want to do the opposite.8 years later I was a full blown heroin addict,I should have listened to him.
Not everyone is an elder. We have too many black people in the community who think they become an elder once they reach a certain age. They can't speak to you because they are too bitter.
Non-Violent Communication is very important.

Fathers are so needed man
The truth.
Nope-progressives
Fatherlessness is the real pandemic. Households with a mother and a father in them are the cure. God knows the burden of a raising a child on your own. That’s why he made it so that there are 2. I know I could raise my daughters solo but it would be a lot damn harder. I just don’t get why people insist on doing things the hard way.
Since the 60's, & democrats have ALWAYS been responsible.
YES!
Furious is the most important character in this movie. He shows how necessary a father is for the Black community. Trey is the only kid to survive because he has his father in his life to tell him right from wrong.
True, single black women make this hard bc of their "I dont need no man' attitudes.
True. Never thought about that before
Morpheus that doesn’t have anything to do with anything... no one should be able to keep you from your children. Furious was a single father. somebody hurt you bad pal. let that hurt go
Somebody once said "cuba gooding was so out of place in this movie" he actually wasn't it was just the fact that he actually had a father that cared about him so of course his behavior is gonna be different from the rest of the guys.

DB there are 15 liquor stores in black neighborhoods for 1 in every white neighborhood...and white people love liquor just as much maybe even more! Its easy to marginalize folk when you own the land

Because they're paid not too. Or threatened with death by Governments and corporations.
There is a shift in consciousness taking place, an awakening. That is why the system is throwing EVERYTHING at us right now, look at all this bullshit going on that just came out of nowhere recently, it is a distraction. Technology rapidly moving forward is playing a role too, hey look down at your uber smart phone.
Well said ^ They'll pay for what they've done, one way or another. How do you sleep at night knowing that you're enslaving billions of people every day. The world is run by unbelievably sick people

The director was around his 20s to be nominated for an Oscar for this movie. He was THIS smart to share this important message
Singleton was a fabulous talent. I think he wrote the movie too? Sad he died while still in middle age.
@@SalemGhassanHanna Gone too soon. His work on that episode on ACS showed he had the potential to return.
He made many legendary films ever Fast and The Furious ones as well.
@x evola L.
Still the youngest ever nominee, as he was 24 at the time. RIP John Singleton.
This needs to be in schools worldwide
What should be taught? That people of the same race should segregate themselves in business and communities? While I think Furious is a good father overall in the movie, his "me against the world" perception is flawed for living in the hood for too long.
@@__1201 I agree, but he's not wrong about the drugs, firearms and liquor. Awareness of the issues your community is facing, and the external forces, is huge.
@@__1201
That's what's taught already. And encouraged too. The opposite needs to be taught, "You're not evolutionary dead ends" "Your whole life's high point isn't being a gangbanger" etc.
its just gonna implant the ghetto gang mentality into kids minds if it hasn't already. It's already happening when you introduce kids to crime films and crime music 24/7.
That’s not school’s job nor their goal, being a governmental institution at its roots. It’s the job, goal, and responsibility of the parents to help their children navigate not only life, but the evils of the world around them.
Rest In Peace John Singleton. You’ve been tryna wake brothas up since then and this clip still applies in the hood today. My condolences and prayers to the Singleton family. 💪🏾💪🏾
Its never applied more than it does right now. Black neighborhoods in every major city in America are being flipped and gentrified. Since we in LA, look at what Inglewood is becoming! Anyways, RIP John Singleton!
Since this film came out in 1992, and the first time I saw it, I never knew this movie was a prophecy until now. 34 years later, this is the truth now. RIP John Singleton.
I had no idea he died - I had to look it up because at first I didn't believe you lol Definitely one of the most powerful movies in the past 30 years. Singleton was a great director.

Savage, why the gang-symbol expression with your fingers? It makes your culture look villainous. Blacks and whites will fear you.
Nykoloz, not from my experience. I have seen guys use that expression when they challenge other guys to a fight or try to scare them by implying that "they can sick their boys on them." Cops will keep on eye on someone doing that. I cannot blame them, either.
Nykoloz, that is what YOU think. It is stupid and tasteless and shames the race of the guy who does it, usually as a way to fight "white authority." Sorry. School administrators see it as a gang symbol and won't tolerate the ignorance.
Greedy D yup and he disowned her
nuk, in that case, she denies him, too, and will not give a damn when he checks out.
I always appreciated this monologue. It’s multifaceted, both addressing the systemic issues and powers that be both inside and outside the US pressuring black people here, while also pushing for personal responsibility. The former is equally as important as the latter. Furious is telling them to wake up and look around and question why things are the way they are. Being aware of it allows them to not feed into that vicious cycle, if they can overcome it.
Do the Right Thing said it best
"Wake Up"
Personal responsibility is WAY more important than "systemic" issues. There's no systemic racism anymore.

"An empire toppled by its enemies can rise again, but one which crumbles from within? That's dead... forever." ーBaron Zemo, Captain America Civil War
The reason there are so many gun shops in those types of neighbourhoods is because there is a demand for guns. This shit is trying to turn basic supply and demand into some weak ass supposed white supremacist conspiracy. Even if the ridiculous idea that gun shops and liquor stores are more popular in the hood because "white people" planned it in the hopes that black people would kill each other, the responsibility would still lye upon the members of the community and whether or not they have the mental capacity to make the right decisions. You'd have to be pretty heavy headed and moronic to think that a bunch of influential white people sit around a table in a dark room plotting the demise of such a heavily populated and important race (any member of society who contributes to the economy is important in the eyes of economists, poor included). Love this movie, but this is just classic "blame game" politics that has no weight nor any proof to sustain it. Take responsibility for your own actions instead blaming it on everyone else.

Now 30 years later you can’t even afford to live in any part of L.A. unless you’re making at least $100,000 a year and living in a tiny apartment unless you’re living in a place that’s paid off or bought more than 20 years ago.
Same goes for NYC. Down south you could live like a king on 100K
train man yeah cause nobody wants to live down south lol
train man or live in upstate at least an hour away with men always wearing dirty clothes, work gloves, and keys attached to their jeans loops and going to the local bar or tavern is the most exciting thing.
California is losing it's value for me. Born and raised in the I.E but as I'm taking on more responsibilities the allure of California is dying. Access to L.A, the beaches etc. Is no longer worth pulling my hair out, and being a student with debt likely in his future is no help.

@The Hooded Claw hes talking about the financial issue. Not a racial issue
I thought the Opioid crisis was only a suburb thing? Didn’t know it was a crisis in the hood for opioids
Larry is infectious in this scene. The way he speaks unflinchingly to the kids that come over turns them from guarded to completely human.
Furious was one of the best characters. He was always calm and collected, never really losing control of his emotions and never lashing out at people, but also didn’t take crap from anybody, like with that policeman.
I've heard it said that Lawrence Fishbourne was a father to a generation because of his role in this film
Yep, I had my Father growing up but he was One Father you didn't "Mess" with.
laminage Same with my dad man!!!!!
celticsdude Uh-Huh! I see so much of My Dad when Tre first lives with Furious Full Time and he explains that he's being Strict because he doesn't want him to go down a Bad Path. He knew that Ricky and Dough Boy were going to have Problems later on and he was so right on. He didn't allow me to get away with things that a lot of Neighborhood Kids did and I'm so thankful to him for it now (RIP).
well if that doesn't define the generation idk what does
His daughter decided to get pounded on camera lol
"Do you know what that is?"
"......it's a billboard"
Lmao are they serious
I laughed when he compared them to Amos and Andy lol
Funny as it is, I take it that they genuinely did not know where he was taking the conversation. Honestly, I would've called it a billboard too.
The older I get now I can respect where the old man was coming from. By speaking harsh, and demanding accountability, you can motivate kids as well. I imagine some person in that group took the old mans words as motivation and worked to improve themselves to prove him wrong.
Harsh words never motivate to youth. You're chastising them and pointing a finger at them about a harsh world, they didn't make, that they had to adapt to.
Old man is not looking beyond the neighborhood, for pointing his finger. At his age he should know it is deeper than just some hoodlums in the neighborhood, selling drugs.
If anything, the kids should be pointing their finger at the elders.
Agreed 💯

Jeff Boomhauer I wish he would’ve added, “good goobely goo.”
Cracks me up every time. Lol
This is such a good scene. Obviously, for what he is saying but also just the way it's handled. Everyone gathering into frame around him. It's larger than life, it's unrealistic, but it's not interested in being realistic, it's interested in staging a cinematic moment.
The camera is slightly angled up at Fishburne, making him appear larger, giving him a stage and making him feel like he's an authority.
When everyone gathers, the older man is standing right beside the younger people, but they never share the frame again. When each of them speak, it almost feels like there is a large distance between them, illustrating the distance in their attitudes and perspectives.
Buy real estate in low income neighborhoods y'all. OWN YOUR BLOCK and this won't happen. See you at the top.

It's nonsense. Gentrification is a good thing. If those residents actually took care of their homes they could gentrify their own neighborhood.
Liquor stores are in the hood because of supply and demand. If there were any money in the hood you'd see banks on every corner too.

Comment of the year!
Boyz N’ The Hood isn’t just a movie, it’s a culturally significant and contextual work of art. Growing up as a European/Asian mixed race kid in Ireland I was about as far removed from the LA gang scene as you can imagine. Yet this film taught me more about the deprived urban existence and the racial and economic hardships of African Americans in 80s and 90s America than any school class or news paper ever did. I can’t really relate to this film in any real sense but even all these years later it stands out as a cinematic achievement.
well said
@Greg Davis why don't you elaborate on these 'truths' will ya
Boyz n da hood....work of art.....hahahahahhahahahahahahahhaha

Yeh I'm from the other side of the world, but this film made such waves. A true masterpiece. It hit home because all youth feel the street decay, just not as bad. But it's here. And we need to stick together. This film is not an easy watch. But it is an important life lesson.

After this film came out John Singleton was on the Tom Leykis show and described boxcars of automatic weapons and ammo mysteriously just showing up on old unused railroad tracks in South Central Los Angeles.
An old Veterano Primera Flats mentioned that his homie got into a train to get weapons. And this was like in the 70s.
coincidence? I think NOT!
So the implication is that a group of white people got together and dropped off a crate of guns hoping the blacks would kill each other...that's a really stupid theory.

“It’s not a situation where the government or the CIA sat down and said, ‘Okay, let’s invent crack, let’s sell it in black neighborhoods, let’s decimate black America,’” Webb says. “It was a situation where, ‘We need money for a covert operation, the quickest way to raise it is sell cocaine, you guys go sell it somewhere, we don’t want to know anything about it."
My neighborhood went through this, it was mostly a black middle class area, steeped in tradition. Everyone knew eachother. Mom and pop businesses on the street.. I remember Every friday night all the locals would hangout at the park til late at night. From kids to adults, bbqing and lighting off firecrackers... 20 years later, now its a hipster town with no tradition or culture. But we do have plenty of Starbucks cafe's and Sushi joints. lol
SD 619 Damn dude that shit is tough. If that happened to me I would be losing sleep
Based on the area code in your name, I'm one of those white guys who moved in to your area 4 years ago. I wasn't trying to take it over or make a quick buck, I just got a new job and needed to move here. I've had great experiences the last 4 years, it feels like home to me. Things really have changed in that time. From my view for the better. What used to be an abandoned building with broken windows, covered in graffiti, with 10 homeless people sleeping in front of it is now a decent restaurant where I can catch football games I don't get... btw I'm not a fuckin hipster
@@PelosiStockPortfolio but with what cost? The forced push of many low income families? Understand why things are the way they are friend. It all connects. And everything has a cost.
@@luissalinas9143 I agree everything does have a cost. I don't think you read my response very well, or perhaps I didn't write it very well. I didn't buy a place that a low income family couldn't afford so they sold it to me. I bought a place that was built on what was previously a run down parking lot. Any low income family living in the area who bought a place 30+ years ago would be a millionaire if they sold it today. I think making millionaires out of low income people is a good thing. The one point you may have is that if people have been renting in the area for a long time and suddenly the landlords start raising the rent by crazy amounts, it isn't cool and I am 100% with you. It has happened to me as well as a white boy, I complained, but that is about all anyone can do regardless of race
@@PelosiStockPortfolio oh yeah my bad I didnt read it thoroughly you said abandoned ruined down building. Regardless of the fact gentrification is out there still today. Affecting minorities and people of low income (which the majority are of minority) however the fact that the building in it of itself was repaired and now there is an influx of caucasian from what I'm hearing is still an example of appealing to the middle class. Regardless of how we look at it. But that's just the point I'm trying to get across. Ita all about money no black or white people.
This was made in the 1990s but it is totally relevant today here in the Bay Area from San Francisco to Oakland to EPA. Damn near fully gentrified smh
no it's not it's full of homeless camps and human feces on the street.
no, the messages in this movie is not accurate, biased and way off.. beverly hills has over 17 liquor stores today, and 3 gun shops.. so clueless john singleton was sending a false message, and he's a liar.. period
@@jimjones4838 beverly hills/CA is a place for crackheads. NYC has been gentrified.
Blame the Big tech companies for the move though. Only good thing Gentrification brought was less gangs and violence but honestly it also rose prices for everything like Laurence here explains.
Real G's go gentrified!
he talk just like my dad my dad tells me this stuff all the time and I love it because its the truth
Asha Anderson same man same my dad does the same
I grew up just like trey with a dad like this
Mines as well queen
I wish these wise words were listened to in 1991.
It’s sad how many must have ignored this and continued doing what they’re doing and ended up gone or in jail
Exactly. Laurence basically gave the answers to our problems and nobody listens 😔
This scene taught me a lot.
Ramon LeBlanc Harts all learned is how they found Morpheus
Styles predicted the future because that’s what’s happening now
Yup!
Here in 2020 and the gentrification is on steroids in NYC.
Specially Philly my hometown.
Facts
Well people want to live around nice things. Those neighborhoods are usually dogshit.
Detroit too.
@@tywins3669 so as the rent when it increases.
Laurence Fishburne was demystifying "The Matrix" to Cuba Gooding, Jr. & Morris Chestnut long before he did so to Keanu Reeves! ;)
+amchow78 lol
Deep knowledge
Haha
“I told Morpheus to take neo to crenshaw for bullet dodging training that’s why he’s so good now 💯” -tk kirkland
The elderly man was sadly so right. A gang can completely ruin a neighborhood for everyone!
Dawg did you watch the rest of the scene
His name is Grady
You really managed to miss the entire point
I remember that old dude from Kenan n kel, the Turkey episode
Missed the point entirely
Tbh. This was my first time ever hearing about the term gentrification. We all thought these neighborhoods would stay ethnic and cultural back then. But now, many are going through this process.
Fake term - fake explanation. I kinda “like” the part when Furious envy Jews and Italians for their successes, but black “brothers” don’t learn the lesson. I also respect his encounter with black cop in the beginning of the movie, but his later overtures show only outdated socialistic agenda with putting the blame on “others”. Furious is not really teaching Tre to take control of his life and strive to reach his potential, he merely teaches him to survive in the hoods - ignore the violence and acknowledge the false “honour” code
@@defaultgate It's not necessarily a 'fake' term, as it takes generations and the elimination of generational curses for there to be enough power to have 'gentrification' lack any effect on particular communities; which is what I'm assuming you meant as far as power. Unfortunately, capitalism will always release an outlet for those whom are investing in property to later sell if the market increases. I know many neighborhoods were places were black/brown owned which succumbed to selling such properties. But I believe that if black/brown people see our financial/economic strength and support ourselves wherever we may be, we don't need a physical community but rather an agreed community to flourish. We gotta write checks.
@@defaultgate Recognizing that the system has been set against particular isn't "blaming on others", it's calling it like it is. I don't know where your from but black people haven't been treated for all of America's history.
@@Adgeatic Yes, black people have to come together as we have in the past, that's how jim crow ended.
If you have talent in America, you get paid. That’s the real beauty of capitalism.
Talk about property value, random black people appear LOL
TooJ Kool they probably were getting offended since it is their hood
POTTY MOUF DOOM, and plenty of other CRAZY motherfahkahz, too!
POT, the brother has a point. Smoke the bastards fast, or be the poor chump who gets smoked.
POTTY MOUF DOOM young brothers like yourselves 😂
@POTTY MOUF DOOM LMAO!!! Fly that "W" sir
Still happening today has not changed. Black on black crime is horrible. If people changed their ways long ago it would be different and stereotypes would change
Proves what Lawrence Fishburn is saying in this moment is utter bullshit.
Laurence Fishburne hit it on the nail in this message of the movie...it was almost as if he was paraphrasing or emulating Malcolm X while he was in his character.
Here it is , 2020 and we still faced with the same problems. Almost 3 decades later.
Almost like it might be a function of genes too
He always portrays his characters with such class and dignity
The way they portray Furious as a wise, practically sharp and educated man living in the ghetto reminds me of that song by Coo Coo Kal that says “stuck in the ghetto by choice, but if they go it’s jacuzzis and condos and Rolls Royce!” lol
"Who is it that's dying out here on these streets every night? Y'all."
"Yeah... 👉"
Tien Shinhan , it is so true, too.
The unrealistic part of this scene is the fact that the young people are actually listening. Everything else is so deep and reflective.
The way he delivers his message is like a form of divinity.
HOW IS IT STILL RELEVANT
That "Young brotha" had no eye brows lol but nevertheless it is a great scene.
TheLightBearer LMAO I’m thinking the same thing!!
TheLightBearer a
i guess they drove down the property value on young brother's forehead
Alex Furnas Ommmmggg 💀💀😩😭
Eyebrows are useless, TheLightBearer.
You got to love the cameo here with Whitman Mayo. Every generation represented.
I love ur pfp
I will never know how gangsters in the 80-90s could wear them long sleeves and pants in that hot ah weather
Actually it is cold there.
@Anna smith is compton in los angeles or is it its own city
@Anna smith is compton in los angeles or is it its own city
@Anna smith so its basicaly like a neiborhood in los angles?
@Anna smith what gang is DOOKY IN FROM BOYZ N THE HOOD
One thing I love and respect about this scene is how all the young kids gathered around to listen to him speak. Nowadays, you really can't tell these kids anything and they don't sit still long enough for you to talk to them. Take me back to the 90s.
Words of wisdom
“Know your history and control your dollar” that’s what my dad always told me. 😁😁😁
Antre good advice
When I was a tween, my father took me to see this film in the cinema. I think he was worried about the glorification of "gangsta" culture at that time. Of course Laurence Fishburne became best know for his role in The Matrix, but I believe he was most brilliant in this movie. A truly culturally and historically significant film.
He was being morpheus behoren the matrix 😂❤
I like how a group just materializes to listen once he starts preaching.
I wish all young boys of this generation can see this message.
The most powerful scene in this movie 28 years ago still relevant
And nobody listens to Laurence's wise words 🙄
RIP John Singleton, such a masterpiece
One of the most profound scenes ever written in a film. RIP John Singleton
You must not have seen many films.
Loved every word of it " You have to think young brother.. about your future" lolz, this scene serves a good purpose in sending African American youth a powerful message on whats really going on around them.
This film was way ahead of it's time.
I always come back to this Video cause I for some reason I enjoy the way Laurence sounds when he explains what Gentrification is😂😂
A powerful scene, that's just as relevant now as it was when it first came out. Such an amazing movie.
I had the same thought. There plan worked out perfectly.
For a man named "Furious", I honestly see him as a really chill person who I'd hang out with during my High School years
Remember watching this first time when i was a kid in the 90's, this scene just blew my mind as too how society was and still is today
Not really
