FILM DESCRIPTION:
The story of Jody (Tyrese Gibson), a misguided, 20-year-old African-American who is really just a baby boy finally forced-kicking and screaming to face the commitments of real life. Streetwise and jobless, he has not only fathered two children by two different women-Yvette (Taraji P. Henson) and Peanut (Tamara LaSeon Bass) but still lives with his own mother. He can't seem to strike a balance or find direction in his chaotic life.

The way Melvin held the gun was like it was a baby. When Jody wiped that gun he immediately grew into a man. The gun was the old baby boy. That’s why Melvin held it like a baby. It was like he wiped all his sin away. Jody is now a grown man. No longer baby boy.

[@walteranders167]

The scene speaks so many volumes in the most subtle of ways. We have Jody who just was a witness or accomplice to a murder. He's scared and he realizes he's not nearly as strong as he thought he was. Then comes Melvin, an OG who is done far worse than Jody could ever know or understand. But he has enough empathy and wisdom in his heart to show him I got you and I don't want you to be me. This moment without words just by subtle action speaks so much volumes for the characters.

Powerful scene. This movie was dope!

[@michaelvega2836]

This scene was perfect, no words at all and it speaks volumes. Melvin was young before, he made mistakes like Jodie and for this moment it was n OG lettin BG know that its ok and that hes been there before, he let him know he got his back without actually sayin it

Facts.

[@mynameisbetty1767]

I just came here to see people break the scene down in the comments lol such deep. Much acting

[@GanjaGod90]

It's so crazy how in a later scene his mom says to him, "Melvin said y'all had a lil talk" and not a word was spoken between them, but the silence and their actions said everything that needed to be said at that moment

[@chavisjeff]

Great scene….”What more do you want from me!” 😩😩

[@kevinteran5624]

I just saw this movie for the first time last week Masterpiece

[@DreamZKyuubi]

Funny how in the beginning he said he wasn’t tryna be his daddy , true definition of speaking things into existence

[@lonniebaines1720]

Powerful Scene........No words, Emotionally acted.......

[@PlusVK22]

Jody having a mental breakdown like he's the one who ended Rodney.. Pea probably went and played Madden at Do Dirty house right after 😂

2001 ✊🏿 Classic.

Beside all their differences Melvin had Jody's back no matter what thats a real G there

[@bigbromarmar7905]

Yooooooo ALL THOSE KZbin YEARS you never put baby boy as a clip?????????

[@cam2times286]

Right

[@EddyTheDevil1]

Probably the most powerful and emotional scene in cinema history! It's so great that Jody and Melvin have finally put aside their differences and buried the hatchet!

[@logisticallydysfunctional4528]

Honestly one of my most favorite endings and actions from a father.

[@unlimited-6183]

Why do I always have a tear down my eye when I watch this scene? 😢... Powerful stuff!

[@theedivine_one]

Then the Tupac pic in the back just gives it so much more emotion❤

Melvin cleaning the gun with a blanket from Jody’s room that’s probably covered in Jody’s dna. He secretly wanted Jody to go to jail for life😆

[@DM-bv9uh]

Melvin was that OG, triple OG with three strikes, they be talking about. 💯 Solid.

[@derekc8629]

Basically we don't have to like each other but we can have a mutual respect towards one another!

[@LJbeauty]

The way Melvin held the gun was like it was a baby. When Jody wiped that gun he immediately grew into a man. The gun was the old baby boy. That’s why Melvin held it like a baby. It was like he wiped all his sin away. Jody is now a grown man. No longer baby boy.

This movie is a perfect example that life is a lesson to learn, and sometimes you have to learn it the hard way.

[@Anderson_Se7en]

John Singleton, Ving and Tyrese did a great job conveying alot with no dialogue. A real IYKYK moment.

[@ericsmith2147]

Fact!!! Even thou no words was spoken Plus 2 Pac picture in the background was POWERFUL
