( Details ) Starring: Ice Cube , Cuba Gooding Director: John Singleton Video Release: May 1999 | Theatrical Release: 1991 Runtime: 112 Rating: R (MPAA) Released by Columbia TriStar Home Video | UPC: 043396032514 chapters.indigo Review John Singleton scored big with this stunning 1991 look at life in L.A.'s predominantly black South Central neighbourhoods. Cuba Gooding Jr. is brilliant as a young man named Tre Styles, who must navigate through a jagged obstacle course of crime and poverty. Attempting to guide him along the straight path is his father (Laurence Fishburne) who has often seen the cycle of violence that now threatens his son. Styles and his two friends Ricky (Morris Chestnut) and Doughboy (Ice Cube) are typical examples of life in the hood: one is a young man trying to snag a college sports scholarship as the other descends rapidly into a life of crime. The powerfully tragic ending of Boyz N the Hood is a solid indictment against the violence and poverty afflicting black youth in the United States and one of the most powerful statements ever made in film. Notes The film was shot on location in Los Angeles, California. At the time of its release, BOYZ N THE HOOD was the highest-grossing black-themed film ever, earning ten times its six million dollar budget. The opening of BOYZ N THE HOOD was marred by violence; 33 were wounded and one person was killed when trouble erupted at 20 theaters in the first week. The title of the film is from a song on rapper Eazy-E's first solo album. For BOYZ N THE HOOD, 24-year-old John Singleton became the youngest person ever to receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Director. The film soundtrack includes songs by Yo-Yo, Ice Cube, 2 Live Crew, Tony! Toni! Tone!, Monie Love, and Quincy Jones.
