This research paper: 12 pages in length. Back in the 1930's, when being an African-American gangster meant more than just arbitrarily killing another human being, there was a certain mystique -- a veritable charm -- to wearing the tag. As depicted in the film Hoodlum, being a gangster was not a position taken lightly; in fact, there was a lot of social responsibility residing within that special community of individuals. Contrarily, the more contemporary Boyz 'N The Hood demonstrates how the glamour once associated with being a youthful black gangster has been completely removed from the mix. No longer is there a shred of decency among the young men who comprise the raucous gangs of today; rather, their world is merely about killing and maiming as many people as they can. Sadly, the stereotype exhibited in this film is more of art imitating life rather than the other way around. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
