Boyz N the Hood is a very good drama about surviving a bad environment and choices we make. Now I have no personal connection to the movie as far as where or how I was raised. However I did find it to be a very well directed and written story. The movie comes off authentic. John Singleton did a wonderful job on the script showing the many different elements, characters, and story lines. I also like that he spent time showing the characters young growing up in the environment and older growing up in the environment. It has wonderful cast with wonderful performances by Cuba Gooding Jr., Ice Cube, Angela Bassett, Morris Chestnut, and incredible performance by Lawrence Fishburn. I have seen Boyz N the Hood several times over the years and find it to be very deep and meaningful each time. John Singleton said in the commentary of the movie that this was the most personal movie, and it shows. It is one of his best movies. It is a very good drama.
