My barber just said "Baby Boy" is the best black coming of age movie? Whats yours?

[manyfaces]

Jody out here wit 2 whole families and that nikka talking bout "coming of age"



And it's "The Wood" for me. That shyt was just as real as the baby boy. Everybody in the hood ain't dealing with baby mama drama.

The Temptations. Otis saw it all. Going to the show to see his favorite group perform. Broken friendships, had a kid early. Divorce, son died. Friends died. I know its real life but it still counts as a movie.

Dead Presidents.

If that counts

Perfect and I agree with you

In genre studies, a coming-of-age story is a genre of literature, film and videogames that focuses on the growth of a protagonist from youth to adulthood.

Baby Boy has to be the most unintentional funny movie of all time

I say Precious.

I mean you could argue technically...

Baby Boy is not a coming of age movie

The Wood got this easily

The Temptations. Otis saw it all. Going to the show to see his favorite group perform. Broken friendships, had a kid early. Divorce, son died. Friends died. I know its real life but it still counts as a movie.

I read somewhere that some family of the other Temptations members was salty about the movie cause it made it seem like Otis was the one running things, and he was the only one that ain't have issues or problems. I still dig the movie tho, especially my niigga Leon as David Ruffin.

The nikkas saying moonlight are fakkits. I never even watched that movie.
