I swear as soon as I saw Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne... I'm like y'all have got to watch "What's Love Got To Do With It?" They killed those roles!!!
This!! This right here !!
I would love to see this
They better watch WLGTDWI, Anna Mae! Or 🤚🏿! 🤣
That’s a movie I really want them to watch
Man Angela Bassett was robbed out of an oscar for that one. Who won that year?
I still can’t believe this was John Singleton’s debut film. What a masterpiece
Yasss honey we were in that movie pack and I am 45 and still love this movie ❤❤❤❤
I was wondering if Dough Boy and Cleo from "Set it Off" had the same car. They're both Singleton movies. I could be an Easter egg, or I could be absolutely wrong.
And it's his best movie
@@letitiacooper98me too! Packed theater
@@AdamLacy228set it off was directed by F. Gary Gray.
Achara hit the nail on the head: the way the brothers were treated by their mom is probably reflecting how she felt about each child's dad.
Not probably
@@youdude0467 it was they didn't show it because you know they have to keep cutting it. You know for time slots and stuff like that but it was said in the movie the brothers had two separate fathers and it was because of how she felt about Doughboys father
@@stephaniejones4749 lol I think they were saying "not probably" as in certainly, obviously, yes, etc... Or at least that's how I read it.
She's good too
Facts.
Don't cry guys. Ricky then became Lance, went to college, became a football star, then married the love of his life! Lol
Football connection
Then went into the NBA as a star on the LA Knights and got a son😂😂
@@amandafox9979 he helped Steven Seagal save a satellite from terrorists on a train before he even did that.
Then became a surgeon and worked at Chastain Park Memorial Hospital in Atlanta Ga
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂 I love the *black movie" rabbit hole you've been going down.
Lol
same lol
Hope more reactors do this
I love it more because it isn't done in Feb., like most reactors do lmao
@r.thomas9648 right lol
Achara keeps saying "go to therapy". That doesn't happen in the hood. And even if people believed in going to be therapy, there's no insurance to pay for therapy. 😢
Right
Its baffles me that a lot of people don't understand that. They act like it's so easy especially back then
People living in those circumstances, especially west side LA, don’t even know people who go to therapy. And more so in that era. LA was really fucked up in the 90s and they showed exactly how it was. From the tone deaf teacher asking shitty questions to belittle his mother as a black woman, to the black cops showing out in front of white cops as if they’re “not like us” even though they still don’t give a shit about them. They’re just using them. It’s really sad. And honestly it’s sad that a lot of things haven’t changed in LA.
@@alleynicole2010 - I'm with you until that last sentence. Probably a lot has changed, from within regarding bigotry, but L.A. keeps voting in leaders ( some of which f*d up with the recent fires ) that either aren't competent or corrupted by greed and power?
@@ghostlee6434 - I've come across a lot of movie reaction YT sites where these younger generations are thinking with a present day mindset while criticizing humor or comments or ways of movies from 10 to 50 years ago. Presentism Bias? Sometimes it's innocent, sometimes it's obnoxious and arrogant or just uptight.
RIP John Singleton
2fast 2furious
Shame he died so young. Crazy he directed such a powerful movie at only 23 years old. Could have won best director that year but lost out to Kevin Costner for Dances with Wolves.
@@markmccollough1017he was 22 when he directed it. And he lost against Jonathan Demme for “the silence of the lambs.”
John was a family friend, and he is truly missed.
@@charlesnyckd Thanks for clarifying with the correct info. I was going by google searches and was off by a year.
Fun fact: He was the mailman in the movie.
Did you notice a young Regina King, at the barbeque? This is an extremely talented cast. This film launched so many careers.
Laurence Fishburne's first movie role was Apocalypse Now. He was a Larry at the time, seeing that he was 14 -years-old when he started filming. (3-yrs prior to film's release in 1979) By the way, he portrayed a soldier.
I literally was just about to post "did y'all not recognize THE QUEEN Regina King?"
The fact that they didn’t recognize her drove me insane lol
And the rapper YoYo with the blonde braids
😮!!!! 🤯 YOU ACTUALLY WATCHED IT!! MIND BLOWN!!
Next Up: Juice
Yall giving them all the hood classics😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Diff4nt Since they started on this journey might as well keep going forward
That film always unnerves me.
They should watch Menace II Society first.
Next up: Harlem Nights. Gotta mix up the energy. Harlem, then Juice. Would put New Jack City out there, but that one is still too much for TH-cam. 😀
The older black man in the gentrification scene is black acting royalty. One of his iconic roles was Grady on Sanford and Son with Redd Fox.
True
That’s Grady? 😳
@@jerryspringerinheavenI think so, I hope I wasn't mistaken...
@@jerryspringerinheaven I double-checked; it is. ❤
@yamuthaho yes. That was Whitman Mayo aka Grady from Sanford and Son.
The black police officer was the example of self hatred that’s present in some. Men like this go out and get jobs in positions of power in order to make themselves feel better.
Exactly!
NWA had a line in the song "F the Police": "Black cop showing off for the white cop."
Also, it’s just the culture of the police. Blue first. Then black. Smh.
Or over the span of his career he's dealt with so much negativity and violence that it has soured him.
Self hatred is the number one killer of the black community.
With this being Angela Bassett and Laurence Fisburne’s first movie together….. “What’s Love Got To Do With It” is a must watch.
Yes!
6:48 Laurence Fishburne as Furious Styles is one of the best on screen Black fathers ever.
Absolutely. I always thought his name was a take on how his character lived life. He loved Furiously and was passionate about his stances and beliefs but he did it with finesse and style never aggressively or forcefully; hence his name Furious Styles.
You should see him as the Professor in Higher Learning. Another great performance!
@blueroninstudios Oh he's dope in that too.
Yes he was
Yes he was.....I took some of him into the way I father my boys
The statement by Doughboy at the end…’either they don’t know, don’t show or don’t care what’s happening in the hood’ was one of the most impactful scenes in the show.
That's just another way of not taking ownership of the violence in the neighborhood he himself causes a lot of drugs and violence.
@59:54 If you actually listen to what Cube is saying in the song he's literally describing the environment at the time. People misconstrue that hes glorifying the violence cuz of his direct and abrasive delivery but he's telling a story.
And this is actually a lot of rap music though not all mainstream…
Thank you!!
Yeah I really don't get how they listened to the first two lines and think that it's a party song just cause it's G-funk. That's like saying Funkmaster Flex's "The Message" is a hype song
Dead Homies would've been a better fit though
@@elistewart3170Grandmaster Flash and the furious five. Wrong black guy.
You guys might’ve missed it because they spoke about it very briefly on the porch while the USC recruiter was visiting, but the friends mention that Doughboy and Ricky have different fathers and that it does play a role in why their mother favors one over the other.
She didn't send trey to his dad so much for a punishment.. it was more for discipline.. and like she said she can't teach him how to be a man.. which is so lost now a days .. anyways great reaction as usual guys
not a punishment, a CONSEQUENCE ...folks have to start accepting the consequences of their actions... be Blessed 🤎
@ginahouston9352 bro reacted specifically said punishment.. that's what I'm responding too
@@mikereacts7304 i’m agreeing with you… his word should be changed from punishment to consequence
If only every pookie has a dad like tray’s dad
@emmanuelallen4376 pookies and the simps.. frfr
Poor Ricky getting unalived still hurts. 💔 He literally was spewed down because the night they went out he had on his blue school jacket. The bloods remembered that and thought he was a crip. This was during the time in LA when gang wars were at an all time high. Singleton nailed it.
Ohhh I didn't even catch that! I've watched this film so many times my whole life and never thought about the gang connection.
😢Like how many people died over the wrong colors. So tragic.
18:42 That's how Domino's and cards are played at ANY given Black backyard barbecue. Aggressively. 😂😂😂
I was a sensitive kid and I didn’t start playing Spades with my family until I was like 14/15. It was so much!
@TheNamelessFilm it be like that😂
If you ever see dominoes or spades set up at the cookout or any black family gathering, if you can’t play, STAY AWAY FROM THE TABLE! 😂
@@TheNamelessFilm😂😂😂
@@marzblaq7267 yep, money will be gone so fast, it's like you never had it lol
The scene of the guy pulling the trigger is considered an iconic scene. His personal story is tragically unique in itself. He was just an extra.
He was a friend of John Singleton, I think. So was Dooky (dude with the pacifier). Both ended up murdered.
He was credited in the movie as Knucklehead(2)
@@Jm-ek8thno that’s Monster.
He was more than an extra that was monster
One thing Achara is gonna do is cry 😭🤣❤️
We all cried when we first saw this.
I feel her....very empathetic person
You alls level of understanding and articulation of this film is AMAZING to me. I am so impressed with this generation of non blacks. I was in 8th grade when this movie came out, and the dialog around me from other races was dismissive, condescending, & hateful around the effects of the treatment and conditions of the black community. Our humanity has been GROSSLY abused, and then we were blamed for the effects of being brutalized for centuries. This channel is amazing. You all got a new subscriber!
Agreed! They are not judgmental and they respond to understand, very rare. Love these guys! Love this channel!
To see how Doughboy turns out if he had Furious as a dad watch "Higher Learning".
Higher Learning is an unrealistic raci$t movie.
Lmmfao facts
That's a very GOOD film too,goes into some dark places tho.
@@kerry-j4mStill couldn't Stand the End tho When those racist pricks Unalived trya Banks in front of her Boyfriend Omar Epps role
I am hoping vehemently that they review higher learning
“Hey little man…catch”
*little Ricky fails to catch*
“Man you sorry” 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That "I'll get my daddy. At least i got one mother phucker" line sends me EVERY TIME 😂😂😂😂😂
Trey’s “get your punk ass daddy bitch 😡” always has me cryinggggggt
For me, a teenage white boy military brat growing up in southeastern US, this movie was an eye-opener into a world I didn't know truly existed. The speech that Furious gives about the cycle that helped to keep the area down was impactful to me. Unfortunately, to a lot more teens in my town, the movie seemed to inspire the idea that being a gangsta was badass and cool and they started emulating that aspect of the movie.
As far as Doughboy goes, the friends said earlier that Ricky and Doughboy had different dads. Doughboy's treatment was probably a projection of his mother's anger at the father. That happens a lot. One kid gets treated better because it was planned or something, the other was a 'mistake' and gets treated as such.
Love from NC ❤ people don't know how how normalized violence can become after awhile. I didn't grow up in la but every hoods same across America l.
This film is inspired by a compilation of actual stories from John Singleton's childhood. It is a sad ongoing narrative that still happens to this day.
So true 😢
i believe it thats why he wanted ice cube in it since cube had a crazy experience before he was famous
This movie exactly exemplifies how it was living in South Central LA, Compton, watts, inglewood and other surrounding areas in the 80s-90s era, it was a warzone. Whoever made it out, Salute to you
even cops than were all high alert 24 7 even detroit in the 1980s was even crazy than too
CinePals are goated, this channel is the truth, love the diversity.
Your breakdown of the film is exactly what the director, John Singleton was conveying. Spot on and shout out for "getting it."
I clicked so fast! I saw this in theaters when it came out. When I tell you the whole theater yelled Rickyyyyy and boo hoo’d! The culture has been traumatized ever since.
Nice to see "the culture" hasnt changed much since the 90s 😂😂
That was like a thousand years ago. Thanks for being here with us 😂
I grew up in this type of neighborhood. This happened to my older cousin what happened to Ricky. He was coming through the front door of my house and was shot in the back 15 times. I had to look at his bloody and stiff body lying on the front room floor. Thanks for the empathy shown while watching this movie. This movie is extremely traumatic for me because I lived it.
Thank you so much for sharing.❤❤❤❤
Oh wow did they find out who did it
@ yes. He got shot down a couple of minutes later. Not by cops, but fellow people in the projects.
@ oh wow that sucks to what happened to your family member
@@roselynholloway7863 he died
Living in L.A., Compton and Inglewood in the 80s as a kid I related to this movie so much when it came out. I lived right around the corner from that liquor store his mom pointed out at 5:49. It's on Crenshaw Blvd. and Slauson Ave. As a matter of fact it's just about across the street from where Nipsey Hustle was killed. We moved to Georgia in '88 but when this came out it was a MUST see for me. I wanted to see how much was fact and how much was fiction and I can tell you that EVERYTHING depicted in the film is DEFINITELY the truth!! Kudos to director John Singleton (R.I.P.). I've seen things you DEFINITELY wouldn't want to see living there. Thanks for reacting to this wonderful film. It was chosen to the National Film Registry to be preserved.
I know exactly where that is. I spent my first few years between South Central, Watts and Compton.
Although I’ve never been I remember growing up and hearing stories about L.A. and always thought it was exactly like this movie!
@nycgirltee yeah this movie got it right. Menace II Society as well. As a little kid I got my shoes taken off my feet by some Bloods while walking home from school (I had on blue suede Adidas and didn't know I was walking through Blood territory). Me and some friends were playing handball in an alley behind our apt. building and the ball went into the dumpster. I climbed the dumpster to get it and saw the neighborhood crackhead's head in there. My older sister and I saw a guy getting stomped out in the middle of the street while walking home from church. She told me to turn my head and keep walking. We lived in Compton for 2 weeks and moved back to Inglewood because like the 3rd day we were there someone threw a brick through our living room window while we were eating dinner.
@marzblaq7267 then yeah you know exactly were I'm coming from lol.
I'm from LA. Western street. Nothing changed. 80s 90s. This still going on
Fun fact: The actor that plays Ricky as a kid is named Donovan McCrary. He's Darius McCrary's (Eddie Winslow from "Family Matters") younger brother
Lol damn, all these years I thought that was Darius. They looked a lot alike when they were younger.
51:14 - The look on Furious's face when he comes into the house taking his tie off, he's all business. He's been mentally prepared for this moment since Tre was a young boy.
"I knew this was gonna happen. I'd hoped that it wouldn't come to this, but it did, and now I have to protect my son".
The reality of the situation is Doughboy literally loved his family, he loves his mom he loved his brother he always was protecting his brother even though they got into it. And the fact that he still loved his mom and his mom showed favoritism that also played the role to why he became the person that he was
What are you talking about he escalated the beef with his brother Ricky and that guy he sells drug$ he carries a gun 24/7 .
@@MikeJones-uc5eu yeah but that's him lashing out from the trauma of favoritism his mom showed. When those dudes got into it with Rick Doughboy got straight to protecting him so he does care but the relationship was strained
@@MikeJones-uc5eu you're basically looking at the surface of the issues and not the point of people acting out.
@@yungvoss He could have just got up and stood next to his brother "He didn't need to pull out a gun" and call the guy's girlfriend a b!tch if he was not there his brother would still be alive.
@@ghostlee6434 The issue is people watching this movie don't even realize Doughboy caused Ricky and his own death. violence begets violence
Now yall need to watch Poetic Justice with Tupac and Janet Jackson!!!
COUSIIINNNN!!!!!!
Juice as well!
Higher Learning.
Yes, please!
Poetic Justice is terrible
How Ricky and Dougboy’s mother treats them is a direct reflection of her relationship with their fathers.
John Singleton was the ripe old age of 19 when this movie was released and nominated for an Academy Award for Best Director for his first film.
Another classic. At this point do higher learning.
The joke in don’t be a menace about the dad being younger is that Cuba gooding who plays Trey is only 6 years younger than Laurence fishburne who plays his father.
Doughboy made some mistakes but he ALWAYS stood up for his little brother Ricky. Also, it’s so sad that the mom ended up losing both of her sons to gun violence. 😔
Bruh aint PLAY BOUT RICKY!😢💔💯
25:55 Laurence Fishburne is only 5 years older than Cuba Gooding Jr. 😂😂😂
That’s crazy LMAO
I always wondered why Cuba looked so damn old for a teenager lol.
@@BarbaraThorndyke naw. It was Fishburne playing his dad when was 28-years-old lol. Everyone back then looked older for their age then they do now. Cuba’s age wasn’t the reason.
Fishburne (born July 30th, 1961), is about 6 and a half years older than Cuba Gooding Jr (born January 2nd, 1968).
27:50 in TV versions it has been edited for Styles to say "The Pill ain't going to keep you from getting Aids..."
That scene with the black cop can be so true. Some black cops look down on other black people and treat them horribly. Listen to Black Cop by KRS One for a bit more context. So happy that y'all are watching Black movies though! It's been so nice watching you all learn while being entertained.
The next movie has to be Menace II Society
Don’t know if they ready for that one! But hell yea..they should most definitely see it
@misteroctober2343 they're ready for it.
@@2807Joe Wigs is gonna get blown back fasho 🤣
@misteroctober2343 definitely
That might be too intense lol. I'll be here for it though
38:54 Fun Fact: the Actors and background people Did NOT know a gun was gonna fire. The characters reaction was the actors genuine reactions 😅
Didn’t know that
Yeah I’ve heard that before, John singleton was a genius
Look closely at the cars, and you’ll see someone almost get run over
One thing that was in the background of the story too is Ricky dad was in his life. It was subtly stated by saying he hot the ball from his dad and remember the mom told Doughboy that he wasn't ish like his daddy.
I literally just RAN here. I love that you guys have been showcasing Black movies! The fact that y’all are giving them your time is really precious to us. This hole you guys have gone down, only gets deeper.
Dudes name is FURIOUS STYLES... 😂😂 That's legendary
"Wow that is an aggressive game of Dominos."
Me who grew up in the hood: Girl, that's just normal Dominos. Now Spades is a different story.. 🤣
😂
@@supersizesenpai they definitely aren’t ready for a hood spades game. It gets scarier than a hood crap game sometimes. I just got flashbacks. Excuse me… ☝🏽 lol
@@ssweet9836 I remember in High school all I did was playing Spades in the back of the cafeteria till it was banned in school cuz we use to get way out of hand. We eventually just started going to empty classrooms during lunch to play. I also use to throw dice in the barely used basement floor bathroom but dudes were also dealing drugs out of their so I didn't hang out their much.
@@supersizesenpaihow did it get out of hand
@@roselynholloway7863 A whole lot of intense fights,. We had a fair number of different gangs in our school so Spades games got pretty wild. I remember one group stomped out one of the teachers who was the cafeteria monitor for that period. He tried to take the cards away from one group and he went to the hospital pretty fucked up. To be clear, my crew was pretty chill, I mean we had arguments when someone fucked up but nothing that off the rails. Just friends busting each other chops.
Sadly, thanks to those violent A-holes, Spades got banned and we had to start playing in secret. Although, on some level that was kind of fun plus the empty classrooms also gave us a place to hook up with.
This is a hood classic! One of Ice Cube's first roles and the introduction of Morris Chestnut, Cuba Gooding Jr., & Nia Long as well. John Singleton paints a great picture of real life and how people had to do what they needed to do to survive. The character archetypes ring so true and make you connect with almost every character in specific ways and keep you in your feels, even if they are abrasive at times. Thank you, guys, for doing this first watch. Keep up the great work! #GeeSawThat 🤘🏿😀👍🏿
How is it abrasive
She treated them differently, because they had different dads. I myself is a product of that fact. When it comes to my siblings. Feeling like you can never do right. Makes you become a person. Who doesn't try to do right.
🫂🫂🫂
Higher learning one I would recommend 💯
Yes!!!!!
Great movie
I had a teen girl come to see me for therapy after witnessing a drive by and the body of the victim being left in the street for two days. She said “everyone sees dead bodies in their neighborhoods”. I still don’t thinks she believed me when I explained that’s not true and how what she saw lead to her trauma symptoms. This was a few years ago.😢
Oh wow
I can’t imagine. I saw a picture that circled around on social media (it was actually in my neighborhood) of two young men shot and killd in their car. Seeing how they were positioned and their eyes rolled back put such a dark shadow over me. I was depressed and couldn’t eat for 2 days. That was just a picture.😢
Y’all are my new favorite channel I swear !!
I love seeing the reactions of people from different cultures watch a movie so powerful as this 1... Everybody should experience this movie at least once in their life
This is the best reaction channel @cinepals Please react to:
-The Wood (1999)
-Fresh(1994)
-Whats love got to do with it (1993)
-Why do fools fall in love (1998)
-Beloved (1998)
-Jason Lyric (1994)
-Waiting to exhale (1995)
- The Five heartbeats (1991)
- The Temptations (1998)
-Dead presidents(1995)
- Harlem nights (1989)
- A Thin line between love and hate (1996)
- Their eyes were watching god (2005)
- Undercover brother (2002)
I agree with these picks and add Menace To Society.
Yes
Beloved still confuses the hell out me (half ass kidding) 😂😂😂
Second for FRESH
Omg!! Totally agree this list is a must hopefully you guys can do some of these movies is not all.
Shoutout to yall for watching a really great film 🤘.. Born and raised in South Central and early 90s was like this.. life was something else but like Cube said in an interview, “we had a lot of fun times too” 🙌
Congratulations, you have just watched Boyz n The Hood. This is what goes on in the black community's back in the early 90s. I haven't seen this movie in decades. Because of this was real life for most of us. But yeah , what a great film. 👍 But happily things have changed a lot. I love you guys for this. Wow, I give you guys in A +😊
John Singleton made audiences be able to feel what ppl in impoverished neighborhoods actually deal with. Even the music choice at the end of the movie: How To Survive in South Central. Literally a musical survival guide after losing two characters we connected to from this environment; it’s a very common tale.
Tre moving in with his dad was a punishment, because he couldn’t get away with any shenanigans with his father. And it worked.
Not punishment but discipline
@ You are absolutely right. I meant it was a punishment in Tre’s eyes, initially.
At the beginning of the movie when young Ricky didn’t catch his ball from the older teenager was a foreshadowing for Ricky never being able to make it out the hood. I’ve watched this 10000 times and I just now realized that while watching with you guys 🤯
Oh wow
I'm one of the people that went to see this film BECAUSE of Ice Cube. No one in the film were big stars yet.. we knew Larry Fishburne but Angela was an unknown. Ice Cube was the draw because of NWA. He even wrote the song: Boyz-n-the-Hood" for Eazy-E which John Singleton used as the title. It was his version of "Stand By Me" (Do you want to see a dead body?).
Ricky was 22 in this movie and the woman playing his mom was 28. I think the whole cast was in their 20s except fishburne and Bassett 😂
Wow didn’t know the mom was in her 20s during the movie
Ricky's mom and girlfriend looked like siblings. Both beautiful women with great skin. I think the only reason the mom looked like a mom was because of how she carried herself. She had a lot of domineering authority to her demeanor which really sold the character. I wish I saw her in more stuff.
@ she was in empire most recently
@@roselynholloway7863 What?! I can't believe I missed that. I stopped watching after season 3. She must have been in the later seasons.
@ yeah
AFTER what’s Love Got To Do With It, let’s take a break from the movies that traumatized us all growing up lol. Two Can Play That Game is a fun one.
Well I say Higher Learning THEN move on to Two Can Play that Game and Brothers!
@@kikipie1230yes higher learning is another good one! But also very traumatizing lol. Sometimes need a break from the constant trauma
Two Can Play That Game is still hilarious😂😂
@ I agree!! I wouldn’t be mad if they put some of these traumatizing suggestions on hold. But it also speaks to what gets greenlit in our community as well. Hollywood pushes our trauma but not always our joy!
@ yep! Hard to get a major studio to put a budget behind a black director unless it’s a trauma film. Any time jaby or Michael get a bit overwhelmed, sometimes I wanna yell “Imagine how tired we are!” 😂
What’s love got to do with it
Was one of the biggest Oscar over look in history.Angela Bassist and Lawrence Fishbourne did an amazing job
This is the first movie Ice Cube did. He even owns his own movie production company. He has come a long way. Now ice cube is 55 years old. Cuba Gooding Jr. is 57, so many years have gone bye. But a lot of star power in this one movie.
Chad in Scream 5 and 6 is one of Cuba's children. I know, I know... it still blows my mind, so yes, I shared. Lol
The gun shots in the air scene was filmed without anyone knowing it was going to happen. The natural response was what the director was looking for and got it! As a kid who was living in Los Angeles at the time, you didn't need to be living in the hood to feel the effects of what was going on. I actually grew up down the street from where Furious and Tre were hanging out on the rocks at the ocean, San Pedro, Ca. Cool reaction guys!
Cinepals have officially become my favorite channel, no debate 💯
Yes this the only channel I watch when they react to movies it seems real and genuine when they react to movies
Other reaction channels are boring! All they do is awkwardly laugh. I love that they talk throughout the movie
What’s Love Got To Do With It is a great watch! Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne ate those roles up!!!
I like to think The Best Man movies is what happened for Ricky if he hadn’t died. 😢
The actor that shot Ricky was convicted of two counts of murder in real life and was murdered in prison. His name is Lloyd Avery II.
WOW how the hell was he in the movie and not in jail or was it after the movie?
@@jasminedevich3182It Was years after the Movie came out boys in the hood was his first movie then poetic justice and a Few other movies before he died and he actually got himself into a gang in the late 90s and killed 2 people before he died in prison by a Satan worshipper after he turned his life around
@@jasminedevich3182Way after this movie came out boys in the hood was his first movie then poetic justice and a Few other movies before he died in prison by a Satan worshipper after he turned his life around and he actually got himself into a gang in the late 90s and killed 2 people I guess he couldn't just keep his characters to acting he had to do it in real life
@@jasminedevich3182Years after this movie came out
For some of us who grew at this time it was more of a reality than a movie
fun fact: the big guy with the durag in the football scene was the “driving instructor” in Don’t be a menace. Also, the guy who shot Ricky (Lloyd Avery II) was also in Don’t be A Menace in the car scene with Toothpick. rest his soul
You know as a black man I haven’t watched this movie in years, very emotional. Kinda like the color purple, excellent script and acting but emotional. Ricky’s death is heartbreaking. Maybe my emotions are a bit shot. I feel ya about bopping at the end to Cube . 😊👏👏
What's so crazy Regina King and Ice Cube playing brother and sister on 'Friday" movie so when I watch this that's all I can see is brother and sister is just fussing at each other LOL
Yeap and him and treys girlfriend Nia Long was into each other on Friday movie and also the Are we There yet movies 😂 they got lots of chemistry
The gunshots on Crenshaw actually happened. One of the extras pulled out a gun and started shooting in the air. All them running was NOT acting.
This is a classic movie about fatherhood and the importance of a man raising a man. the scene when they are fishing and he tells him the rules look a man in his eyes and think before you speak shows the lesson when he is arguing with his girlfriend. also how Doughboys mother has a favorite son and how mothers take out relationships on their children. Also the potential of Doughboy he was actually the smart one but he was never cultivated into greatness, Ricky was not as smart but. supported and loved and how the decisions, influences and learning from the right positive people can shape your life. Also the opening scene of the stop sign was a message over the voice over of the violence to stop the violence. So many powerful messages, Imagine what Doughboy could have been with the right influences in his life, Fan theory is the character he played in Higher Learning is an alternate universe of how doughboy would have been if his brains were cultivated or if Furious was his father
The uh-huh and mm-hmm in sync when she corrected herself to say Native Americans
I always have to reiterate this in a reaction, the guy(red hat)49:14 who shot Ricky in this scene ended up being the life that imitated art. He went on to join actual gangs and be involved in criminal behavior and ended up killing someone. He went to to prison and was killed by an inmate. You can't make this stuff up 😮
I read that he found god and the guy that killed him was a devil worshipper or something? 😱
Yeap that was very messed up for him to do really Stupid when he had lots of acting potential to be Great and he threw it All away But Aye RIP to Lloyd Avery tho
Yeah very sad situation. 😢
Wait... that's not Chris Tucker?
@adamisajoker Hell no, shame on you. You're not a fan
I'm at work, but I WILL be watching this reaction, when I get home...Been waiting for this one!
The fact that you both agreed with Furious speech about gentrification. You both get love from me❤
“What did he do? He was just crossing the road!” 😂😂😅😅 tell me you didn’t grow up in the hood without telling me you didn’t grow up in the hood!
Right
I'm grateful asf for this reaction. I know this movie so much but never been able to see it for the 1st time with people.
This was an amazing movie. I lived out there in the '90s and that's exactly how it was John Singleton. He did a cameo in there. He was the mail man who gave his mother the mail when she said Rick your test score .The guy who killed Ricky he was murdered in real life. He couldn't seem to separate his character from real life. I'm glad you did this movie.
FYI Ice cube was nominated for an Oscar for this role in Boyz-n-the-Hood
Leg shot was Ricky’s football career. Chest shot was his life.
OMG I want ya'll to watch What's Love Got to do With It soooo bad. Laurence and Angela were amazing and it was one of the most egregious Oscar snubs for Angela
Egregious...the perfect word to describe that snub.
Arguably John Singleton's (Rest In Power) best work! It's powerful, poignant and unfortunately, still relevant. Other Singleton films you should also react to:"Poetic Justice," "Higher Learning," "Shaft (2000)" and "Rosewood."
More suggestions: "Do the Right Thing," "Claudine," "A Patch of Blue," "Malcolm X," "Juice," "The Five Heartbeats," "Moonlight," "If Beale Street Could Talk," "American Fiction," "Eve's Bayou," "Devil In A Blue Dress,""The Meteor Man," "Jason's Lyric," "The Learning Tree," "Crooklyn," "Inside Man,""Menace II Society," "Dead Presidents" & "Selma," in honor of Martin Luther King Day.
I forgot about Rosewood! Ugh so sad.
Rosewood would be such a tough watch, but it would be interesting to see their reaction given that it's based on a true story.
@@poet82nJohn Singleton also directed hustle and flow movie
This movie also shows how karma will get you through your children. The mom favors Rick over Doughboy because of their fathers and at the end she was left childless.
That is so sad ...
Rick's death low key traumatized me when I was a kid. Man got his whole stomach blew out and it was in slow motion. I didn't need to see all that..
His back or chest not Stomach
One of my all times top favorite 90s era movies. I was 20 when this movie came out, and it hit so hard. Had friends and family get shot and die from gang violence and crack addiction.
What saved me from that live was a strict retired Army father and very religious mother. I grew up playing D&D as a kid and hung out with the nerdy kids as well. Even had other kids avoid gangs just to play with us.
Meanwhile, shootings and robberies were going on, just blocks away.
The Five Heartbeats
This movie still gets to me. I lost my friend back in 10th grade to street violence. I was just like Trey. I wanted to get revenge, but luckily my grandfather stopped me. It really be like that in the hood. RIP Fattz. We miss you
Yo, pls do New Jack City w Wesley Snipes. It's also in this kind of genre & a classic!
no
Woooweee you trying to make them stop watching, that one is too gangsta for them right now.
😂😂😂@@TwistedLyfofTV
@@TwistedLyfofTV what?! If they watched all them tyler perry movies they should be good 😭🤣🤣
Rest in Peace to the legendary Director John Singleton 🕊👑🖤
Cinepal is officially my favourite reaction channel right now. They are very versatile unlike other yt channels.
I just want to say this Laurence Fishburne has been acting for most of his life. He has been a child actor since the 70’s. The oldest movie I can remember being in was Cornbread, Earl and Me. Lol. He was credited as Larry until some time in the 90’s.
I remember him as Cowboy Curtis on Pee Wee Herman.
Higher Learning is a good next.
The Woods, New Jack City, Waiting to Exhale, Deliver us from Eva, Player’s Club, Juice.. Just a few others to look into
Ooooh Biker Boyz is really good too
Will you do Deliver Us From Eva and congratulations Michael on your baby.
Y'all should watch HIGHER LEARNING next. I promise you, y'all will like that too! My favorite 90s movie fasho
The hard thing about this is now that I am older I was 7yrs old... Now I am 40 I just balled like huge baby right now. When you guys said therapy.. it shows the cultural differences because black people back then did not believe in therapy.
Also wasn’t available and when it was it wasn’t affordable
