Boyz n the Hood (3/8) Movie CLIP - Gentrification (1991) HD

I always appreciated this monologue. It’s multifaceted, both addressing the systemic issues and powers that be both inside and outside the US pressuring black people here, while also pushing for personal responsibility. The former is equally as important as the latter. Furious is telling them to wake up and look around and question why things are the way they are. Being aware of it allows them to not feed into that vicious cycle, if they can overcome it.

The reason there are so many gun shops in those types of neighbourhoods is because there is a demand for guns. This shit is trying to turn basic supply and demand into some weak ass supposed white supremacist conspiracy. Even if the ridiculous idea that gun shops and liquor stores are more popular in the hood because "white people" planned it in the hopes that black people would kill each other, the responsibility would still lye upon the members of the community and whether or not they have the mental capacity to make the right decisions. You'd have to be pretty heavy headed and moronic to think that a bunch of influential white people sit around a table in a dark room plotting the demise of such a heavily populated and important race (any member of society who contributes to the economy is important in the eyes of economists, poor included). Love this movie, but this is just classic "blame game" politics that has no weight nor any proof to sustain it. Take responsibility for your own actions instead blaming it on everyone else.

It's larger than life, it's unrealistic, but it's not interested in being realistic, it's interested in staging a cinematic moment. The camera is slightly angled up at Fishburne, making him appear larger, giving him a stage and making him feel like he's an authority. When everyone gathers, the older man is standing right beside the younger people, but they never share the frame again. When each of them speak, it almost feels like there is a large distance between them, illustrating the distance in their attitudes and perspectives.

Boyz N’ The Hood isn’t just a movie, it’s a culturally significant and contextual work of art. Growing up as a European/Asian mixed race kid in Ireland I was about as far removed from the LA gang scene as you can imagine. Yet this film taught me more about the deprived urban existence and the racial and economic hardships of African Americans in 80s and 90s America than any school class or news paper ever did. I can’t really relate to this film in any real sense but even all these years later it stands out as a cinematic achievement.

Any low income family living in the area who bought a place 30+ years ago would be a millionaire if they sold it today. I think making millionaires out of low income people is a good thing. The one point you may have is that if people have been renting in the area for a long time and suddenly the landlords start raising the rent by crazy amounts, it isn't cool and I am 100% with you.

@@defaultgate It's not necessarily a 'fake' term, as it takes generations and the elimination of generational curses for there to be enough power to have 'gentrification' lack any effect on particular communities; which is what I'm assuming you meant as far as power. Unfortunately, capitalism will always release an outlet for those whom are investing in property to later sell if the market increases. I know many neighborhoods were places were black/brown owned which succumbed to selling such properties. But I believe that if black/brown people see our financial/economic strength and support ourselves wherever we may be, we don't need a physical community but rather an agreed community to flourish. We gotta write checks.
