INVADING SOHH CHAMPION
not at all.
boyz n tha hood is great because it has the setup on tre as s youngster. On some hood what if black lean on me type vibe. When before that moment i doubt anyone black would be given a quality attempt on film consistently. In the pocket of what black America endured in that exact time. opposite the urban period piece dynamic of lean on me compared to bnh. Yet menace does everything way way better than boyz n tha hood. even the childhood origin scenes are just classic cinema. That will be difficult to be rivaled. When stripped down as pieces of work. Past being prison Industrial gateway based media.
menace is actually a master piece and i doubt any movie is ever made to rival it on American soil. only movie better is city of god because city of god is the best movie ever. Yet as far as gritty urban American, menace is as good as it gets. Boys n tha hood is important because it gave us a drawing footprint as black filmmakers in actual Hollywood outside of spike's indie foray. That is why bnh is highly important. Yet it still is not on the level of film that menace is. The hudlins are just top filmmakers black or white.
it would not matter if it was urban or jack tha ripper in tha uk. Plus highly revolutionary in the art medium. As they create compelling artist driving force pieces. That create a draw and artistic integrity based platform. To drive and create a draw for what was not once deemed a draw at all in Hollywood. I think black panther was moved forward as a property from their work.
almost singlehandidly i believe from print to cel animation to film.
