True . Because I still do chores in my parents house . Because I had a option they said I either do chores or pay one of their bills . The reason why I chose chores because I wasn't planning on paying no bills until I got my own place and get a decent job . I was working at 1st before the pandemic but I about to get back on schedule working again real soon until I find another job . It takes time for that to happen .

I think the best part about these scenes is that it shows how much different single moms behavior was in the 80s and '90s. Even well educated women that were bosses didn't have to say that they were bosses. She obviously knew that she can't teach her son how to be a man, so she resorted to the Father which was the right thing to do.

[@holisterbruxly4554]

In reality that choice is not an option, and the mother never gnna give up that check.

[@slipkid1267]

⁠@@holisterbruxly4554 Not in all cases

[@agonzalez8924]

Being a child of the 80s and 90s to a single mother, there is a huge difference in the way single moms are allowed to behave. They don't call it the dead beat dad era for no reason. Women are to blame for a portion of this though, because back in the 80s and 90s women could just request full custody and would be granted it with full impunity, and the dad would get slammed with unreasonable child support fees and would have to go to court and fight for visitation rights. A single mom held all the cards and lots of dads would just bail. For the few dads that stuck around and wanted to be in the life of their kid, they had to put up with a bunch shit. That's why this scene is important because it captures a glimpse of what it was like. Trey's mom is allowing him to go live with his father, and furious is even thanking her for it. Nowadays it's much different. A court will typically order split custody of children, which means the kids will have to live with mom for a week, then dad for a week. The only times you see full custody now is if it proven one parent can't provide a home to the kids, in which case they will be responsible for paying child support. Any other living arrangements can be negotiated. The woman no longer gets all the say and determine the outcome of who gets the kids.

[@Wolf10media]

Bonus points that both parents have good respect for each and couldn't live together due to differences. But ultimately knew their child need structure in their lives. She came with Trey at a time where Furious was on the road to bettering himself as a man.😊

When I was younger, I thought tre’s mom was a selfish woman. I thought “why is she sending him to the hood around other bad kids and trouble. It wasn’t until I was older that I realized “damn she was a reasonable and smart woman who knew her son needed a positive male role model”.

[@Grim8_4Reaper]

True

[@atribecalledlen3567]

She lived in the hood too though

“I can’t teach him how to be a man. That’s your job!” Perfect. Very self aware woman - she knows her strengths and limits as a female . She knows only men can raise boys to be men . Feels like our society now is trying to pretend this isn’t true Great movie!

[@parisbeech2180]

Well said 👏

[@80s_Boombox_Collector]

What, you think every father takes on that job and does it well? Hell, with some fathers a boy would be better off learning how to me a man from his friends, not his dirtbag dad. And moms can teach plenty of stuff as well.

​@80s_Boombox_Collector Single mothers are horrible mothers. I know, because I was raised by one. Ended up a simp, and a pathetic pacifist. I needed my father. Despite him being a drunk, he taught me my worst enemy is myself. My mother taught me a victim mentality. In the process of unlearning all that shit. So you can stfu with all those lies.

Lmao I love how accurately the movie portrays black families growing up in this time period. It was some real shit being a younger dude and how you didn't wanna go stay with your pops cuz you knew he didnt fuck around and didn't play that fuckin up in school or around the house bs. You knew you was gon have to do chores and get lectured and shit. Lol. Memories man

[@WWETHROWBACKWILSON]

I’m 30 yrs old now! And I’m glad to still have my father around to teach me many things

[@brandonmcduff]

@@WWETHROWBACKWILSON That's good. Though I probably don't have to tell you, you should continue to cherish that relationship as long as you can. My dad passed away in thos past Christmas. I remember when he sat me down years back to watch this movie because he wanted me to learn from it.

[@sarahsimpkins1311]

I'm 42 years old I remember my sister & I went to go live with our Dad at 11 & 12 years old that was back in 1991 that was the happiest day because I was missing my dad we didn't wanna live with our mom anymore because our living conditions was terrible our Electric and gas was getting shut off and we couldn't stand our mom boyfriend. We had to get from over there. We did our chores did an little bit of yard work we didn't get no Allowance 😂. Dad was an little strict on us but I'm glad he was because he kept us from going down the wrong Road my dad taught us how to keep the house clean and pay bills and go to work everyday even taught us how to Drive. Also taught us how to stand up for ourselves. My dad still lecture us in our 40s 😂 dad always gonna be dad I'm thankful that he still with us will be turning 75 next month

[@whytho5769]

"$5..man that ain’t shit!" 😂😂

[@asagoodfriend]

This movie is insanely deep on so so many levels that it simply can't be described in words!🌟💯

[@SK3.1]

My parents did something like this for me. Both my parents lived separately but not divorced. I had to go live with my dad. Something my mom told me, "I can't teach you what your dad can." That really opened my eyes. Both my parents lived in too different worlds.

[@michaelblack1925]

That was such a good movie ...this was always the most powerful sence for me .The mom realized that Tray needed his father to know how to he a man and it shows how all there lives turned out US MEN IN THIS COUNTRY HAVE TO DO BETTER AS FATHERS FOR OUR CHILDREN

[@jayargh1132]

Wow, Angela Basset is stunning. Even today!

[@TyTyslickster]

This scene was so underrated, there are so many different aspects of life going on. The crazy part is this scene shows so much of life that its often over looked.

[@anonymousk1634]

Troubles? I ain’t got no troubles 😂😂 young doughboy was funny as hell

[@spartan083171]

I love this movie. It portrays how a strong positive father makes a difference in a young boys life and at the same time, it also highlights the negative effects of having an absent father.

[@robbysand8104]

I like how instantly his pops is like, alright you want to be a spoiled smart ass. I got something for your ass…rake these leaves and don’t look at me funny if I ask you to do something. Instantly checked his ass after he said “do what? with that tone of voice…great father.

[@cartierjoe]

Damn, Tre's moms and pops both raised him well, her for making him own up to his word and pop dukes coz ya know that's Furious Styles lol

[@mr_m4613]

Something I noticed is towards the end you see young Doughboy and lil chris on their skateboards BUT you notice lil Chris is on down on one knee as he scoots off, thats symbolic to seeing him in the wheelchair later in the movie.

[@ComaToast1]

When furious leans in for the kiss to mama and she melts 😢❤ wish they where together in this movie 💯🙏🏾

[@james2091991]

This is whats missing in society nowadays! My dad was had me working from sunrise to sundown. It instills a work ethic and teaches understanding and respect. Kids nowadays dont even take the trash out ffs! Its the parents fault, they've become to soft.

[@knex856]

That’s because the government makes it seem like working your children or disciplining them in anyway is neglect or abuse nowadays. Hearing stories of parents having their children taken from them has turned a lot of parents soft and it will only get worse. Harmless Things I was doing at 16-17 like sneaking out to drink a beer children are now doing at 12.

[@redfullmoon]

Get over yourself boomer. You guys raised the generations that raised "kids today." So much for "successful parenting".

[@ComaToast1]

Bro out of all chores the one I hated the most was folding everyone’s clothes 😂 dishes and mowing the lawn is all good but folding clothes god damn I hated that shxt 😂

[@damomand]

That right there saved his life and he mad haha. Gotta love fathers. RIP pops I don’t know where I’d be if you weren’t like this to me. Can’t ever repay you for all the lessons you taught me. I was angry as a child but I am so GRATEFUL as a man now ❤

[@frankmorris6765]

One of the most important movies of my youth. I try to teach these youth what it means to have a work ethic and being self-reliant.

[@johncrane1594]

I love how they showed that even though they were no longer together tray's mother and father still clearly loved and respected each other

All that space n all😂

[@ericrussell9746]

Anglea & Laurence arguably have the besr chemistry of a actor & actress Ever in cinemas.

[@rickyhurtado]

The true message of this movie is about how powerful dads are. We see these boyz never actually grow up, they just get taller, because even grown they have no Father or direction. Tre is the exception, and even he stumbles, but finds his way again.

[@brandoncaridi5229]

A lot of this movie focuses on the father-son relationship, but it also has great scenes with Reva and not only shows how amazing Angela Bassett is at acting, but shows how Trey had 2 very stern, loving parents in his life who didn’t fight and yell in front of him.

[@jermainewest7394]

Lowkey wish we got a movie on Reva and Furious whole relationship. The way they talk with each other and the way they parent tre, I would watch a whole 2 hours of them and their whole relationship. Chemistry is so strong

This movie was my childhood. Going back to it every couple years, makes me tear up how much more i understand it and reflect upon it on my own life. I feel like everyone else who lives in the ghetto, NEED to see this movie. Definitely my top 3 of all time

[@gmoneyonly1920]

This is another one of my favorite scenes that brings back flashbacks. I like doughboy how he's rocking Michael Jackson shirt and raiders. Me and my brothers never had our mom around so we used to roam the city like Trey and his homeboys.
