The TVI Take
John Singleton's 1991 South Central Los Angeles debut, written by Singleton at twenty-three. Cuba Gooding Jr., Ice Cube, and Morris Chestnut play three friends across a decade of structural violence.
Singleton's writing of fathers, especially Laurence Fishburne's Furious Styles, is the film's intellectual core. Earned Singleton an Oscar nomination at twenty-four.
