Boyz N the Hood is a classic African-American film can be critically analyzed through the lens of race and gender issues in the media. The first thing I noticed when watching the film through the lens of these were symptoms of uses throughout the film that was found in the street and the neighborhood. These signals are provided visual confirmation that the paths that these young children were in the area where I grew up.
For example, immediately after the cover photo viewer depressing statistics directly correlate with the theme Boyz N the Hood was followed by the opening shot of a red “stop” sign on the street, over which a plane was flying as if to indicate the rest of the world is going on does not give a care in the world, the question that children are facing in this area.
There was also a “One-Way” street sign in the background two shots when the kids up from school or walking. It was before a glaring red “Wrong Way” sign of the corpse, which serves as a message that crime is not the right way of doing things and a fine visual indication that these kids are going down one road trip, which leads them to the wrong path in life. The upside of the writer and the director made sure to add the yellow police tape carefully in order to indicate that the audience to these types of scenarios in this movie and in real life they deserve careful attention; But in the movie the children ignored the caution tape is in the next few scenes Trae loses his temper and sent to live with his father, who teaches him how to use it carefully and ultimately define him the way, where he can rise above the warning marks appear and repeated throughout this film it shows that there is only one way, the wrong way to live and to survive in this area. Near the end of the film, there was one more sign that stood out the bodies of the boys who killed Ricky, which highlighted the word quit. However, I was glad that the title card at the very end of the film uplifting information that Trae went to university Morehouse University, Atlanta, GA. The use of street signs, statistics and information are always written in this film. Although I never pay much attention to them before, it is also possible that they served to engrave this is a strong message to these guys who grew up in this neighborhood in my soul, when, as a young girl watch this movie at different stages in my life.
Now that I looked at this week, I was sad to see the drawing pupils of primary school age depicting a colored man in a white t-shirts hands off faces what appears to be a black and white police car. This film was manufactured back in 1991 and nearly twenty-five years later, in 2015, blacks still-profile brutally harassed and killed by the police, even if they have no hand in the air weapon at or near their bodies. It hurts.
Addressable stereotypes in this film includes the use of the term Indian slip of the tongue as a white female American teacher who rephrasing her over terminology Indians quickly corrected by accident, either early settlers of America in relation to the reference.
Another stereotype is perpetuated in the film that the Self Hating black man portrayed in the African-American cop in this film who hates “niggers” as Trae your own words.
Another issue brought to light in this film focuses on people with physical disabilities, such as Little Chris, who is stuck in a wheelchair throughout his adult life. Only a dialogue in a word, “Manni …” a sincere expression of disappointment highlights the fact that people are often left out of the physical limitations during a visit to those who are mobile and without limitation, as a scene in which little Chris sees the rest of his friends to drive away go to search for the boys who killed Ricky.
I believe that Native Americans are still typically referred to as Native Americans in the media. However, I think the self-hating black man stereotype perpetuated less now than it was in the past. Nevertheless, the self-hating black male stereotype has been replaced by other stereotypes stereotypical black male characteristics that cause the black men hate or devalue themselves if we do not do it.
Finally, I think the gangsters in the movies is still often portrayed as violent African Americans and or a minority of people who attack people recklessly like the stereotypical roles portrayed by found Boyz N the Hood smaller African-American characters such as young teenage gang who stole Ricky football was when a child.
