Who is furious styles

He saves the house from a robbery in one scene, but shoots to scare the robber away. Seven years later, Tre is doing well for himself: He stays out of trouble gets good grades and has a girlfriend named Brandi, but their relationship is somehow deteriorating over Tre's desire to have sex, while Brandi, a devout Catholic, wishes to wait until after marriage.

She eventually agrees to have intercourse with Tre after he is threatened by a self hating African American cop, who responded to the robbery years earlier. The biggest challenge to Furious' fatherhood is when Tre's friend Ricky is shot to death. Here is where the tough part of being a good father comes in. Tre takes Furious' gun and his father, albeit in a rather nasty and profane way, tries to convince him to turn in the gun, telling him that he will be going down a road of violence if he does this.

Tre seems to relent, but Brandi and Furious catch Tre sneaking out of his bedroom window to join Ricky's half-brother Doughboy. That night, as the gang drives across the city, Tre asks to be let out of the car and returns home, realizing that his father was right to keep him from falling into an endless cycle of violence. When Tre gets home, Furious is waiting for him. You bad. You gotta shoot somebody now, huh? Well, here I am. Come on, shoot me. You bad, right?

Look, I'm sorry about your friend. My heart goes out to his family, but that's their problem. You my son. You my problem. I want you to give me the gun. Furious Styles : I see. You want to end up like little Chris in a wheelchair? No, no, you want to end up like Doughboy, huh?

Give me the motherfucking gun, Tre! You're my only son, and I'm not gonna lose you to no bullshit, you hear? I love you, man. Go clean yourself up. Go on. Furious Styles : Would you two knuckleheads come on. I want you all to take a look at that sign up there. See what it says: cash for your home. Do you know what that is? Ricky : A billboard. Tre Styles : A billboard. The relationship between Furious and his son is complex and engaging: A father who is battling to save his son from a similar fate — fathering a child as a teen.

This set against the larger backdrop an actual battle of survival in South Central Los Angeles. Thanks to Jason for yet another Great Character post. Join us in comments for a discussion of Furious Styles in the movie Boyz n the Hood. Sign in. As a young man and person of color, Hip-Hop music and culture have given me support for many things in a way that my single Caucasian mother could not.

However, the most profound influence I had was not on wax, but the silver screen. Furious Styles, played by Laurence Fishburne, in the masterpiece Boyz N the Hood is a character that I will forever hold near and dear to my heart. Here are the finest examples of when Furious Styles had a truly positive affect on me and the respective subjects which he addressed.
