Ricky’s death hit hard because, he was a 17 year old. Not only that he was a father !! Not to mention, on the verge of graduating High School and going to college because he passed his SAT’s !!

@bmarzdungeon7736 6 месяцев назад

Furious told tre as a kid “your friends don’t have anyone to look after them, and your gonna see how they turn out”

@gtracingnewton 6 месяцев назад

Also, notice that Trey kept looking back and in front, plus he said to Ricky that hey should stay together. Trey clearly had his survival skills operating, which probably saved his life. Ricky was too naive to the danger around him, and paid the ultimate price.

@SkootaNicole 6 месяцев назад

Ricky simply wasn’t “built like that” he was coddled so much by his mom and honestly didn’t know anything about street life because Dough Boy was always there to stand up for him. Edit: Colors would be a great movie to cover 😏😉

@jeremyreed4951 6 месяцев назад

It also shows how young these guys are. They're kids. They can't even think straight under the diress of Ricky being shot. Their first instinct should've been to throw him in the car and drive him to the hospital or call an ambulance. They threw him in the car and took his corpse home because home is our comfort our safe-haven where nothing can go wrong. In doing so, his mother, girlfriend, and son are now traumatized having seen his dead blood soaked body on the couch. It's all so sad.

@jeffryfoote 5 месяцев назад

I always wondered what this story would’ve been like if Tre never moved in with his father. Tre was the one who convinced Ricky to go to the strip where the altercation happened. If Tre never moved in with his father, there could’ve been a chance that Ricky could’ve made it out of the hood. Either college or the army.

@antoniobarnes694 6 месяцев назад

I don’t think the answer is necessarily leaving the hood. You have to change the mind set and mentality of the people. Because even if the same people went to a different and better neighborhood they’d just drag it down with the same mind mentality in fact it happens all the time to good areas. Other races come into our communities and make a Fortune the Chinese the middle easterns the white man all these people coming in making money off our people. If we could convince our own to build in the hood and support each other it and take care of what we have it might not even be the hood anymore but it’ll be our community

@43:17...Obviously BNTH gets compared to M2S because they're the first two modern hood movies depicting gang life and they're both undeniable classics. HOWEVER, I think BNTH is in a class of its own. Menace was more romantic, focusing more on the individual character's personalities and styles. BNTH's main character was the hood itself, focusing on the trajectories set in motion by the interplay between the hood and the household (nature vs. nurture).

That scene with Ricky and Trey running from those blood gangbangers always gets me angry. Every time I watch that scene and Ricky tells Trey "they aren't going to do anything they're just showing out" I'm like then WTF are you running from then? It makes NO SENSE to me. Ricky grew up in that blood affiliated neighborhood. He should definitely be aware of the surroundings he grew up around especially having a brother like doughboy. You can't say he was innocent and sheltered because he was a teen dad so that's ruled out. The scarfing down of the ice cream scratching off that ticket and peeing had me heated. LOL His life was in great danger and he was so easily distracted. I personally think he just wasn't too bright. I mean after all he did get just 710 on his SATs. That's passing by the skin of your teeth.

A deep dive into Brenda's character is essential; despite Doughboy's poor decisions, the impact of the words his mother spoke about him significantly influenced his life.

@Docmananoff 6 месяцев назад

If Doughboy was the older brother the fight is understandable. Even though Ricky was the athlete, Dough was the oldest and apparently the toughest of the two, and the older brother is usually the leader of the siblings so the younger one looks up to them and might not always be mentally prepared to fight with the older brother. Another reason why Dough got slapped, their mother also knew he was the tougher one.

@bigmona2741 2 месяца назад

Doughboy grew up in and out of jail. Of course he had to fight and was hard. Ricky was coddled. Chris told Trey when they were kids that Brenda treated her kids differently because of their dads. She disliked Doughboy because of his dad and he probably looked like his dad too.

The death of ricky hits hard cause nobody was expecting it to be ricky. He was expected to make it out. Ricky took things for granted cause it was always someone to take up for him from his mother to doughboy. Doughboy had a love hate for his brother. He loved him but also hated him cause of how ricky was treated like the golden boy by his mother and dough was treated like the black sheep. Doughboy was in shock but also cause of how he grew up seeing death at a young age kinda harden him. So seeing ricky laid out dead to him was like seeing what might have been an everyday thing in the hood. I think they rationalized taking him home was better than leaving him out in the middle of the hood waiting for the ambulance and the corner to pick him up. ( which could take a while) The mother was gonna blame doughboy no matter. She always blamed him cause he was the one who was supposed to protect ricky. (Sn: i think how she treated them had something to do with their dads cause i believe it was said in the flim; i could be wrong, that she loved ricky’s dad and wasnt in love with doughboys)

Cause who told you a gangsta wouldn't shoot you when they literally ride around with a shot gun...clearly used to momma making everything better and so used to doughboy protecting him...cause how ricky didnt have these problems until dough out of jail and they at the strip...what did you do before he got out that kept you safe? do that now smh but noooo we feeling ourselves cause the big brother and his friends are there. cause it was that football in the beginning of the movie all over again

Second, how the hell his baby mama start cooking shit without all the ingredients, if I'm making my wife dinner, I buy all the fixings first thing in the morning. Also Doe boy was jealous, Ricky had in house 🐈 plus a future. Another thing dude really got killed because he bumped into someone and didn't say "excuse me sir." That's the most pathetic part. You can break down every detail but a simple "excuse me brother I didn't mean to walk into you." That would have saved his life.

The problem is that Doughboy had been fighting since they were kids and likely fought often to keep his manhood in the pen. That and the lifting Doughboy was doing in prison helped make up for the disparity between Doughboy and Ricky in terms of athleticism. Add to that the fact that Doughboy's style allows for knowing everything about finishing a fight quickly, and the edge easily goes to Doughboy.

Yes , I think pointing out Doughboys demise shows the cycle of violence . The whole premise of the movie

RICKY…. I still asked the question every time I watch this masterpiece… “Why couldn’t he just dip into a yard instead of running STRAIGHT?” But after listening to y’all, Ricky not taking his surroundings seriously makes sense. Now I don’t have to ask that question anymore. Thanks #AxiomAmnesia

52:23 Doughboy's death was inevitable. Ferris was a blood, it's implied that Doughboy is either a crip or a crip affiliate. It was a matter of time that someone would retaliate for killing Ferris crew. Doughboy said it himself in that last conversation with Tre, that someone may come back to smoke him.

@abrahamisaacmuciusiii9192 6 месяцев назад

In my opinion, Doughboy shouldn't have been killed off. The movie should have ended with Doughboy leaving the hood just like Trey.

@calebriley6774 6 месяцев назад

I think the hood is a state of mind. That’s why Ferrous saw no need to leave.

@MsDisneylandlover 6 месяцев назад

Stuff like reminds u to stay praying. But when it is your time it is your time. Just like my mom and my best friend. N recently i just went to a funeral for my 1st cousin smh. So life is freak crazy. Smh. As child or teenager. This movie and that other one scary me badly. John is great director rip to him..

I have the exact same reaction when I see it. He was on his way out, and some genuine bs took him out. It's hard to see, even on screen, the REALITY that so many of us have witnessed or even experienced. My brother was killed at 16yo by his "friend " (pistol to his head) over a girl.

She wasn't a narc because Dough was definitely selling crack off the porch that's why they out there all the time to catch the Js going up and down the street
