That sax playing when Dough Boy has that single tear fall as he shoots the guys just a cinematic masterpiece.
Stanley Clarke did a fantastic job on the score!
Yes! the father was the guidance Tre needed and what his friends didnt have
John Singleton is still the youngest (at 24) ever Oscar nominee for Best Director because of this movie.
& he was 23 when he made it
that's crazy!
It still trips me out sometimes to hear of so many iconic movies haven’t been seen!😂😂
I feel you but sometimes due to their parenting or where they're from certain movies just aren't seen. I still haven't set it off or dead presidents and im 41
I hope they check out Do The Right Thing next. Make it a Spike Lee month.
@SutekhDaSteemroller what!!! Stop everything ya doing right nah right nah and watch them both!! Great pieces of crime cinema.
I think that's why I love reaction channels. Blows me away,(not sure why) , to see young people seeing something for the first time. It's usually very familiar to my own reaction.
This movie.
But omg I watched it first in a theater. This girl started sobbing and was she was whiter than me.
I’m knew how it ends but we were diving under seats laughing.
We are this is so bad we are not laughing at the movie we are laughing at her. I’m it’s Compton does not end well. Making it about you - have a breakdown at Chi Omega.
We were cracking up. I’m I think I hit myself in the eye with the floor.
I was 16 in 91" when this movie first came out and to me this film showed the difference between having and strong father presence in life and not having one,his friends didn't and see what happened to them.
True.
100
Oakland in the house. This was the first movie that humanized life in the hood. People owned property and businesses amidst those lost on drugs, poverty, etc. John Singleton's first movie had two Oscar nominees and two future Oscar winners.
Poetic Justice seems forgotten, it wasn't that warmly received that I recall, and I only saw it once. ISTR it was a NorCal-SoCal love story, and before california love, it feels like
This came out when I was 11. It, like y'all, never left our VCR the whole summer. We memorized it word for word, bought the soundtrack, recorded and bought the movie, quoted it in school once fall rolled back around. Colors, Boyz, Menace, Do The Right Thing, South Central, Fresh, Strapped, Poetic Justice, Juice, so many classics. The biggest gangster move of the whole movie is when Tre said "Dough, let me out". Doughboy pulls over and lets him out. Dough probably knew where they were the whole time, probably just driving around waiting on Tre to finally decide he wanted out. A deleted scene that should have stayed in is Furious trying to talk Doughboy out of doing what he knew he was gonna do. I'm a 43 y/o baby because this movie still brings me to a few tears. I've had friends lost by gunfire, a childhood friend of mine was murdered in front of a school in 2021. He fought for the country, came back home, a few years later, shot by some punk on a bike in broad daylight here in Louisville, Kentucky.
I am so sorry 😞.
He was helping a lady move out of a garage. She'd been living there, but found a place. My friend helped move her stuff, but some dude on a bike thought he owned her, on off again relationship type thing. In hindsight he probably should have stayed away, but being nice shouldn't cost your life. It happened right down the road from my bros house where my niece and nephew played outside all the time.
@@joeyrogers7017 Oh, I am so sorry 😞. That's a shame.
I think he was 36. Thank you.
The sound track is still 🔥🔥
There is no way this ya'll first time watching this movie 😂
I just said this.. 😂
I know. Damn! BJ ain't seen it either?
That's first thing I thought when the video showed up in my feed lol like there's no way they haven't seen it! 😅
I’m white and was born in 1990. Even I’ve seen it 100 times lol
@blakebryder7464 I'm white and seen it 35 times.
Tre's father was a guiding light in his life. He couldn't keep him from being killed - he could have easily been shot along with Ricky that day - but he reduced the chances a bit by keeping him from increasing the violence himself. Tre was out for revenge, but his father's words bounced around in his head until he got out of the car.
Yes. He's his "wise old wizard/man" figure in the narrative, if you will. Most great "hero" films have one.
Furious Styles is an all-time movie Father. He gave some of the best advice, especially the speech he gave in front of the neighborhood he took the boys to. Stanley Clarke's "Black on Black Crime" is an amazing instrumental on a great soundtrack. Always loved this movie.
I remember being a kid and trying to learn the sax for a school performance
I can't believe Lawrence Fishburn was only 30/29 when he made this movie. What an amazing actor. Damn. Great movie, awesome review guys!
Furious reminds me so much of my father in this movie..... RIP Pops 🤴🏾🕊
Rest in peace to John Singleton for making such a great iconic film I'm glad you guys reacted to this movie.with respect and kindness always your big fan Chris
The kid with the curly hair was Chris. Seven years later, he's the one in the wheelchair. Ice Cube's character Doughboy 7 years later is the one with the curls and baseball cap. Brandi, Tre's girlfriend was the young girl they first saw going to the house across the street as kids.
I read somewhere that each of the characters in this movie was supposed to be played by every member of NWA but Ice Cube was the only one to take John seriously
Y’all should watch *”Harlem Nights”* (1989) has an ALL-STAR cast starring Eddie Murphy, Arsenio Hall, Richard Pryor, Red Fox, and Della Reese
Also “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka!” (1990)
Class act was 😂 as well
that is just how it went down in the 90's
Doughboy(Ice Cube)wasn’t the young boy with the curly hair that was little Chris Doughboy (Ice Cube)was the one who got beat up trying to get his brothers ball back.
chris was the one in the wheelchair
I know
Classic movie. Love this. Ice Cube was the chubby boy from the beginning. Chris is in the wheelchair and was the boy with the curl. Glad y'all watched it!
I saw this for the first time when i wanna say i was 14, im 29 now. The scene with the mother screaming at Dough Boy has always stuck with me. She was horrible to that boy and treated him differently because of her own mistakes. He is such a tragic character.
Classic "son of your father" treament.
The scene that stuck with me the most was the scene about gentrification of the neighborhood. As a kid I didn't understand it when I first saw the movie, but as an adult I know all too well that this happens in the black community. Someone even did a video about how the value changed in real life for how much their houses cost.
First time I saw this movie I was in county jail. 😅
Ain’t no way this is their first time watching this
@@cw1345I think BJ said he's seen it. Doesn't surprise me Asia hasn't.
Who edits these videos? Left out arguably the best scene, where Furious talks about Gentrification. Also left out one of the most iconic lines where Cube talks about the media not knowing/showing/caring about what's going on in the hood...
yeah what a disappointment!
Well, they have to leave out some parts in these reaction videos, due to copyright reasons. If you use too much or don't break up the sequence, an AI system will flag the video and pull it down. It's a good, important scene, you are right about that.
@@wyldhowl2821This is the first reaction I've seen where those two scenes were left out. That's just incompetence.
Clicked as soon as I saw that movie title. YES SIR, one of the best movies fr
C’mon now I used to watch old black and white movies when I was a kid in the 80s , I don’t wanna hear I “this came out when I was little” 🤣
Absolutely,I saw this several times at age 11 in 1991
32:09 I’m from Inglewood CA. The police ( LAPD ) are DEFINITELY like this. Just like the streets are full of gangs, the LAPD is a gang and acts like it. Another thing to consider is, this was released 1 year before the LA Riots, which was the release of built up anger and frustration towards the police for this exact type of behavior exhibited by them towards the citizens on a daily basis.
True story: My relative and I were ordering food at McDonald’s with two cops in the next line over. After our food was ready, we got in the car. My car was in between both their cars. As I’m putting my seatbelt on, I hear them calling my license plate number over the radio. ( I had nothing on my record) as I’m pulling out of the driveway, they run to their cars to pull me over around the corner. The 1st cop walks to my window and says, “ Don’t I know you from somewhere? “ I said, “ Yeah, from the McDonald’s that we just left from. “ He says, “ Ok, smart guy, get out the car. “ He starts searching my car while his partner is “searching “ my relative by smacking him hard in the nuts, supposedly checking for weapons hidden in his underwear. ( really!?! ).
1st cop finds a bag with pictures of me and my friends and says, “ Oh, this is why you don’t like us, you guys are Bloods. “ We say, at the same time, “ The Crips don’t like y’all asses either! “
Long story short, I went to jail for 48 hours, long enough to get booked for resisting arrest, checked into county, when to court the next day, for the judge to throw the case out and for me to be released. FOR WHAT??????
Some cops are like that, as crooked as any gang members, the "mafia in blue" as some call it, and they are a danger even to other cops.
Some are just bullies who figure the badge makes all the power-trips and brutality legal.
And some once were good honest cops but become burnouts; just bitter from the endless negative experiences on the force, eventually viewing the population they watch over as adversaries to be defeated, not people to be protected. (I get the feeling that the nasty black cop in this movie is one of those, mixed with the badge bully kind.
The time this film is set in was a notoriously bad set of years in LA and with the LAPD (well known throughout the world); lots of poverty, lots of violence, lots of police scandals. Hard to separate the good cops from the bad ones, when the mentality exists that solidarity with the other badges (no matter what) is more important than justice or honesty. Does that struggle ever really end, for this police force or any other in the world? Nope.
John Singleton came out of the gate with this masterpiece. Ice Cube's debut performance was incredible. Cuba Gooding Jr was amazing,and Lawrence Fishbourne was excellent as always.this film is definitely a perfect film.
I saw this with my friends when I was in high school and thought it really depicted life in LA inner city accurately. Another good follow-up to this film is Menace II Society.
Now that you've seen this, you guys gotta react to Don't be a Menace to South Central while drinking your juice in the hood. It is basically the spoof version of boyz n the hood with the wayans brothers. It is a CLASSIC!
Funny ass movie.
Brilliant film its a mixture of boyz n tha hood and menace 2 society love that film
This movie made me cry like a baby. 😢
This movie should have won an Oscar
The fact that it didn't even get nominated for Best Picture is a major snub by the Academy. Beauty and the Beast, Bugsy, JFK, The Prince of Tides and the eventual winner, The Silence of the Lambs were all great movies, but Boyz in the Hood is a classic. In my opinion it should have replaced The Prince of Tides as the 5th nominee. The Academy blew an opportunity there.
At that time... it was too raw for them to see how rough&raw reality in the hood was. Like HIGHER LEARNING was too
@@user-tc7gt8zg9k prince of tides was pretty impactful
@@user-tc7gt8zg9k Actually it did get nominated but of course Hollywood doing Hollywood things didn't allow the movie to win the Oscar.
What's really sad is that the actor who played the Blood who shot Ricky in the alleyway actually ended up joining the Bloods and he got strangled to death in prison while serving time for double murder.
Yeah, he lost his sh*t after this. Straight up downward spiral.
At 19:47, the gun that Ferris fires into the air to scare everyone on Crenshaw Blvd was a MAC-11 (not an Uzi).
At 25:16, the gun that Doughboy's friend Monster uses to shoot Ferris and his 2 buddies at the burger joint was an AK-47.
The gun that Doughboy used to kill Ferris was a Colt Double Eagle.
So glad I was old enough to see all these movies first run in the theaters and lived through all these times in America and Los Angeles. Things haven't changed that much,
This is one of those movies that after you watch it? It becomes part of your life forever. With multiple viewing after.
Trey was blessed to have both parents growing up. None of his friends had that. Plus mom gave dad props since she said she couldn’t teach him to be a man, only he could. That’s part of the reason why she sent Trey to live with him. He was educated, wise, but also street smarts too. Thankfully Trey had both too.
Morris Chestnut (Ricky) is a fantastic actor (one of my all time favorites). He was great in the movie Two Can Play That Game.
HAHAHA... 19:48 .. Asia diving behind the chair like they shooting at her..
😂😂
I think the point was indeed to show that Trey having two parents that were very much in his life made a big difference in his upbringing. Whereas Dough and Ricki unfortunately did not have both parents. Even tho Ricki was not in the streets he had his own trials to over come. Teenage pregnancy and feeling he wouldn’t measure up to go to college thinking that his best option was the military. Without both parents life can be a gamble, for young boys and girls, whereas with both parents theres a much better chance of a successful outcome. There’s never a 100% chance.
I went to USC in the late 80's to early 90's. One year we lived on the locals side across Vermont Ave but only 100 yards in. The amount of gunfire we heard at night was crazy...both near, far and everywhere in between. We had pump shotguns to protect our cars which were parked in the back yards. There was one big driveway between our house and the next door house with a shared backyard. Both houses were rented to students. Locals were climbing the fences and breaking in our cars but they stopped once we started cocking our shotguns by the back windows and they would scatter. I was mugged right off USC also.
Great movie! I haven't seen it in yeeeeeeears! Like 15 years. Nice seeing it again.
I get what u saying honestly u not wrong at all. I would just add that this really is a real situation that happens everyday in America and John Singleton really wanted to capture every aspect of it. Peace tho sister
The scream for Ricky echos in my head all of the time. Iconic is the only word for this film, it has inspired and influenced an incredible amount of art. I was born in 91 😂😂😂 I’m in my fucking 30s
What a great pick guys. This and New Jack are the best movies of this genre and era.
they are actually in two different sub-spieces of movies. coming of age and gangster.
Yes,Juice too
@@michaelblaine6494facts, Juice is one of my favs
First time I heard what Gentrification was, was the scene Furious was explaining it to Ricky and Tre.
This movie is the quintessential hood classic. Angela Bassett was 33 years old in this movie. Rewatching this movie as an adult i’ve come to the realization that Ricky wasn’t smart due to him being cuddled by his mother. The only thing he had going for himself was football. He didn’t have any plans for himself or his family. If he would have gone to the store when he was asked to instead of trying to pass the buck off to Doughboy the outcome may have been different. Their mom’s favoritism towards Ricky did more damage to Doughboy than the hood ever did & she lost both of her sons as a result of her favoritism. Fun fact: Little Ricky was played by Dovonan McCrary. He’s the brother of Darius McCrary (Eddie Winslow from Family Matters).
Me and my homie from Dallas went to Cali back in 2006. Dude drove by and yelled "brace yo self"....we were all shocked they really say that out there 😆
I was a Jr in HS when this came out. It really reminded me of Detroit in the ‘80’s and ‘90’s.
That actor playing young Tre (Desi Arnez Hines II) also played young Quick (Eddie Murphy's character) in HARLEM NIGHTS.
You asked a great question Asia, at the end of you guys reviewing the film. Was it having an ACTIVE present father a contribution to Trey making the right decisions when he was faced with a choice to make right then and there? Such as taking multiple lives? Or was it just Trey’s own ability of self to self correct based on his environment and not wanting to be like his friends. Such a great piece of cinema. RIP John Singleton ❤
A teenagerwill always strain against parental control, but maybe it takes a man to raise a man (not just an overgrown boy doomed to die young)? I don't know.
Kids learn by example, more than just being told stuff. I imagine it would be the same for a father trying to raise a daughter - you can be a good example of what a man is, and that is important for her to see, but when it comes to the actual "how to be a grown up woman", you cannot teach what you do not actually know. That's got to come from someone with real experience.
Even with divorced parents, Trey had a good example of both what a woman should be and what a man should be, yet it still took his dad being there where he was living, to be a credible authority figure showing him how to act and think like a man. Doughboy and Ricky did not have that, and did not escape the traps; they died before they could really grow up.
That stuff still happens too. 17 year old kid got stuck up around the corner and punched the dude. His buddy in the backseat had bird shot ready to go. Kid got shot but thankfully is ok. This is 30+ years in the future and a way better neighborhood and its still the same ol game.
I'm from NE and I remember going to the movies to see this. At the end when the screen said increase the peace somebody threw a forty bottle in the air and it was on from there!!!!😂😂😂
I didn't mess around at Glendale Park but my friends did. I used to go to Kiest Park and that park over there by Wheatland Terrace apartments. I actually saw this movie in the theater at UA by Red Bird mall. They let anybody in rated R movies at that time 😂.
As a white girl growing up in the south east of England, this movie hit me out of the blue, when i first saw it at the age of 18 in 1992. I had never considered how different life was for other young people my age. Lawrence Fishburne’s speech to the gathered crowd on gentrification in their neighbourhood was a real, “Oh my God!” moment. It changed me and still brings me to tears when I watch it ❤
After Boyz'n' the hood, you need to review all the films that formed the basis of "don't threaten South Central", such as south central, juice, menace to society, and others. ❤ And I will also mention the movie "gang tapes". I am from Yakutsk myself, we watched do not threaten the southern central without knowing that it is assembled from such iconic films.
I saw this in the theater in my teens and wow I don’t know if I can even watch the reaction. This is such a powerful one. It never left me
I didn't know Asia was from Oak Cliff. That's where I grew up and spent most of my childhood. I know Overton and Marsalis and the rest of SOC like the back of my hand lol.
Love that yall watched Boyz n the Hood, it's a classic for sure!
Man I was about 17 when this movie came out, I was a skinny white kid growing up in Scotland, and for some reason this movie really spoke to me, even though I was a world away, one of my all time favorite movies!
I graduated in 1993 and I saw this movie well most of it when it came out. Much of it was too familiar, and just hit the wrong way as I had seen people get shot and killed over the endless violence in the 90s. The riots, yeah I endured that as well. I lived 30 minutes south of LA. I wish I could have joined you under that rock, Asia.
BJ will tell us he seen the movie but still b actin like he ain’t never seen the movie 😅😅😅
Maybe it's been a long time since he has seen it😅 Not everyone has movies memorized,)
At 11:52 - Yeah that was rapper Yoyo....
this is one of those movies that breaks my heart and makes me cry every time
One of my childhood favorites, the director made the show “snowfall” which y’all should definitely watch for sure!! Dough Boy gold 63’ Impala Lowrider was bought and shipped to Japan where it is still alive and well😎
Rest in peace to John Singleton that wrote and directed this classic coming-of-age black movie.
"I used to play baseball"
Monster is underrated, love how they showed he was a good shot with the Duck Hunt scene
6:58 I would gotten in trouble hopping y’all’s fence stealing pecans . My cousins and myself would hop peoples yards, we were Bebe kids, from the projects
The two scenes I'm really frustrated with was when Doughboy brought Ricky's lifeless body back to his mother's house. No mother wants to see her son like that.
The other scene was when the mom was blaming Doughboy thinking he's the one who did it.
I'm maybe grasping at straws here, but I don't care. A simple trip to the hospital or calling 911 after Ricky was gunned down would've been just fine. I think the mom was looking for someone to blame, cause Doughboy was right there(but deep down she knew he couldn't harm Ricky)
In theory, you're not wrong, but Doughboy's still just a kid ,and his first instinct was to run to mom for help. And mom did what lots of people do under stress - they lash out at others when they are frantic with concern or grief or whatever. The two boys had just had a fight, so maybe she did think Doughboy would do that, or maybe she just thought that her "bad" son's gang beefs "good" son killed. She thinks her one son has all the potential, and the other one has none, and even in tragedy, treats them that way. Either way, it was a cruel reaction, and that's what makes it so powerful a scene in the film.
I remember seeing this when it came out. At that time, I was young and dumb and watched for the violence. When I watch it today, I see the life lessons in the movie. Either way, it's a great movie.
Man John Singleton was a legend. Loved his movies. Rip
Why'd you leave out one of the most important scenes?!! The scene with Furious (Lawrence Fishburne) giving a lesson to Tre and Ricky on the hill??
One of my favorite movies of all time is Deep Cover (1992) with Laurence Fishburne.
Same here pretty slept on as far as reactions go too.
You should react *Straight Outta Compton* when you get the chance.
It’s based on the true story that depicts the rise and fall of N.W.A
And how Dr Dre started his own studio called Aftermath Entertainment ( music studio Eminem works at).
Long time ago, in a galaxy far far away....
Boyz N The Hood showed up as one of the most devastatingly great movies of the time. It brought out a long long list of classics like this.
I was nine years old when this movie came out, I remember watching this movie back in the day and fell in love with this movie ever since. 30 + later that scene where Ricky gets killed is still a heartbreaking scene, and I've seen this movie so many times over the years and it's still heartbreaking. This movie to me never gets old
If you never watched Boyz N Da Hood then you probably never watched Menace To Society, Colors or South Central.
John Singleton (R.I.P.) actually graduated from my high school a few years before me. He was a great director/producer.
Great reaction! I too am from Oak Cliff & still remember growing up a teenager in the 90's and I did get to see & experience a little bit of what was portrayed in this movie (gang violence, drive-by's, police brutality, drugs / alcohol, lowrider cars & girls) - I definitely remember Glendale but my friends & I just to cruise around Riverchon Park in my 1984 Cutlass Supreme LOL - we had some really great times but I don't think that I would want to go through those times again because I really feel lucky & blessed to have made it through it all - I actually went to see this movie at the theatre (behind Red Bird mall) when it was first released and watching parts of it now with you really brought back a lot memories & nostalgia - thank you both and I always enjoy your reactions!
Precisely what the message was about Asia. Very important to have the Father figure in a young man’s life.
Definitely a hood classic y'all about to witness 💯
Good read at the end Asia. I think at the time it was just the story and the love and stern guidance of a father. Today its just probably even that much more relevant.
I have seen this in both film and sociology classes. This movie is so WAY ahead of its time. And it so many references such as “Gentrification” that is related to our own society.
But have you seen "Fresh"? It came out in the early 1990s and is probably the BEST coming of age in the ghetto story I've ever seen (including growing up as an Atlanta Public School student)...
@@peterpaul666 No but I have see 'Do the Right Thing' by Spike Lee (who also directed Boyz N the Hood).
*And it has so many references such as “Gentrification” that is related to our own society.
The film was the jump off point of West Coast Gangsta Rap in 91. Dr. Dre ,Snoop etc.
As T.K. Kirkland would say…”Who Raised You “ never seen Boyz In The Hood b4 🤦🏾♂️
The Whitman Mayo cameo is greatest thing in this movie..❤
Grady rules
We watched this movie in my English Composition & Literature class when I was a sophomore in high school. We had to write a report on it. My family couldn't believe they let us watch this in school!
This is a great movie.John Singleton who made this movie was the youngest person ever to be nominated for an Academy Award for this movie.He was a great screenwriter and the Cinematography is also outstanding in this film.The script written by Singleton taught Ice Cube how to make movies and even one of the greatest Filmmakers of all- time,Steven Spielberg praised Singleton about Boyz -n -the Hood.
East Dallas projects on Dolphin Rd in Early 90s is my momma hood. Lincoln high School 1992. This movie was the realest. Not just LA
“If you want some skins you gotta cry in front of your girl” 😅😅😅
I love the "ya'll wanna see a dead body" part - a cool sneaky reference in that scene to the film Stand By Me, also with 4 boys that age (and walking along the rail tracks too). Similarity and contrast at the same time.
Price of Glory 🥊🥊
Ya’ll got it right.. the whole premise of this movie is based on the importance of a father being in his child’s life. In particular a black male’s. Furious is the mist important character in this movie. His presence alone saved his son from his demise. As opposed to Ricky & Dough living in a single parent home along with having a mother who favored one child over the other because of her previous dealings with Doughboy’s father. Their mother was the most detrimental character in this movie because of the lack of love she showed to Doughboy who loved his mother and brother and defended him at all costs. My favorite movie of all time.
I had a pecan tree in our backyard as a kid, too! We always had fresh nuts at least!
I was 16 when this movie came out. Gang violence was at a all time high. Crazy, crazy times. I have always loved this movie. Still do
Should put "Higher Learning" to your must see list
When Trey gives up the gun, I still cry at 43 years old. I was 9 when this movie came out and it hits home still to this day. This movie was a head of its time. Forever a MASTERPIECE that no other hood movie could touch period.
"And when Doughboy disappeared
After his brother died and he said nobody cared
I still do, after all these years
Because he should've played ball
Ricky ain't deserve none of that at all
These are just a illustration
Of a few scenes that helped raise a generation"- Lupe
I was 12 when this came out living in Los Angeles. I was never involved in gangs or any criminality but by 5th grade kids were already getting jumped in and stealing and tagging. I remember this movie hitting the scene hard…
This is an excellent movie and it’s great to see you two watch it. Hope you two are doing well, have a great rest of your day and take care!
lol she seen this movie before, but I’ll go with it! she even looking at it like she seen it a 100 times. 😂😂😂. Im old. I was in the 11th grade first time I saw it. 16.
I cry every time I watch this movie. It just hits hard. I’m glad I didnt grow up in an area like this although my small town is getting like this now and it’s very sad. Spectacular movie.
I was living in Hollywood when this movie came out. There were helicopters flying around every night. Blood stains on the sidewalks the next morning were almost a daily occurrence. The visuals of the public street scenes were so accurate, the garbage in the streets, the gambling games on the sidewalk. Not sure what it’s like nowadays.
I’m a 39 year old white guy from Kentucky. This was one of my favorite movies growing up
This was my movie back in the day man when I was 14 in high school as a freshman. Brings back memories. I used to be obsessed with this movie all the time but now not that much anymore because there are some characters that get on my nerves. I really relate to the four main characters Tre, Doughboy, Ricky, and Furious. The same day that Ricky says “ I want to do something with my life and be somebody” is the same day he gets killed and that broke my heart.
I’m so happy yall reacting to this. This is my all time favorite movie ❤️💯 please keep up the content!!
