Boyz n the Hood (1991)

Boyz ‘n the Hood had been on my watchlist for many years. Having consciously experienced the time when it came out, the zeitgeist felt familiar to me, although I only knew about the sad things happening in the ghettos from a large distance. I particularly admired the performances of Cuba Gooding Jr. and Laurence Fishburne. It’s very sad that the situation hasn’t changed much since 1991, but I sincerely hope it will one day.
