Today’s entry comes from the black coming-of-age film, Boyz n the Hood.
From the clip provided by Columbia Pictures comes a slap from a mother on her son. We call this the “Get Off of Him” Slap.
Boyz n the Hood is a film that follows Tre who is sent to live with his father Furious Styles in the gang ridden streets of South Central Los Angeles. As Tre tries to navigate the hardships of life in South Central, crime and his friends might send him down the wrong path.
This is a slap of a mother against the son she doesn’t have any hope for verse the son she loves and thinks will make something out of himself. When Doughboy and Ricky get into a fight, their mother quickly slaps Doughboy. The slap sounded hard, but it was more of getting attention. It needed some work, but the message was clear.
Slap rating: 3 out of 5
