Come into a world that most of us haven't been in. Singleton doesn't use cheap scenes that get the viewer off-topic and the audience, as a whole, is always into the movie. All of the direction and screenplay is brilliant. This is the ultimate ghetto film, which will never be topped. There is even one Black-cop, who uses his power to try and intimidate young Blacks who he thinks might be involved in the gangs and violence. The police are so busy, that sometimes a 9-1-1 call could mean waiting for the police to arrive. Helicopters are heard searching for murderers every night. Tre and his friends are in a world where being violent is sometimes the way to live. Whether it's your brother, cousin, sister, or other family member that is thee one involved with the violence, the main target could be the person in the family who stays away from the dangers of the street. As the story goes more in depth, we see that even if you aren't involved in a gang, you could still be a target. He wants Tre to graduate college and be good in whatever his profession may be. Furious knows that his son could get killed easily, as he was once involved with the gang scene himself. The other brother, Doughboy (Ice Cube), is headed down a totally opposite path of guns, drugs, gangs, and violence. Ricky (Morris Chestnut) is a great athlete and is getting into college to support his girlfriend and infant son. We watch Tre mature from a young boy to his senior year in high school taking the SAT's. Furious, who lives in the heart of South Central LA, is a man that knows the values of how to respect and how to earn it. They didn't have sh-t on my brother, man." The mother of Tre Styles (Cuba Gooding Jr.) decides to send her son to live with his father, Furious Styles (Laurence Fishburne), after he gets into a fight at school. Either they don't know, don't show, or don't care about what's going on in the hood.
