South Central is a 1992 American crime-drama film, written and directed by Stephen Milburn Anderson. This film is an adaptation of the 1987 fictional novel, The Original South Central L.A. Crips by Donald Bakeer, a former high school teacher in South Central Los Angeles. The film stars Glenn Plummer, Byron Minns and Christian Coleman. South Central was produced by Oliver Stone and released by Warner Bros.
South Central is what John Singleton seemed desperate to avoid when he insisted on directing Boyz n the Hood himself, saying: "I'm not gonna let somebody from Idaho or Encino direct a movie about living in south-central Los Angeles."
My wife wanted to rate South Central with a five and I get it. It wasn't the greatest acting from everyone but I kept in mind it was made in 1992 and for that it looked maybe a bit too oldschool. The movie is watchable even with the below average acting skills of half of the cast. The story contains a lot of clichés, and a lot of testosteron what makes some scenes look a bit ridiculous, but there is a message of hope that is enjoyable to watch. I like gang movies, this one is just not the best one, but that's only my opinion. People rating South Central with a ten is just ridiculous (do they really compare this movie with gems?). It doesn't matter the message is positive, you have to look at the whole picture, the script, the cinematography, the acting etcetera, and that was for sure not perfect so giving it a perfect score is just exaggerated, but it's watchable, I'll give them that.

Over the last few decades, historians have set forth a compelling interpretation of the nineteenth-century American South centered around the power and persistence of white planters and the oppression and subordination of African Americans. Joseph P. Reidy, in this compactly and convincingly argued book, examines the rise, fall, and transformation of the slaveholding South by focusing on six counties surrounding the city of Macon in central Georgia. This choice, quite representative of the cotton plantation South, allows him to address the vital distinction between city and country often overlooked in studies that attempt to encompass the South as a whole. The result is local history at its best. Reidy etches the broad strokes of historical change and development in meticulous detail and rich color.
In Los Angeles, California, four Los Angeles police officers that had been caught beating an unarmed African American motorist in an amateur video are acquitted of any wrongdoing in the arrest. Hours after the verdicts were announced, outrage and protest turned to violence as the LA riots began. Protestors in south-central Los Angeles blocked freeway traffic and beat motorists, wrecked and looted numerous downtown stores and buildings, and set more than 100 fires.
Because of the uproar in Los Angeles surrounding the incident, the judge, Stanley Weisberg, was persuaded to move the trial outside Los Angeles County to Simi Valley in Ventura County. On April 29, 1992, the 12-person jury issued its verdicts: not guilty on all counts, except for one assault charge against Powell that ended in a hung jury. The acquittals touched off the LA riots, which grew into the largest U.S. civil disturbances of the 20th century.
Violence first erupted at the intersection of Florence Boulevard and Normandie Avenue in south-central Los Angeles. Traffic was blocked, and rioters beat dozens of motorists, including Reginald Denny, a truck driver who was dragged out of his truck and nearly beaten to death. A news helicopter, hovering over the street, recorded the event. Los Angeles police were slow to respond, and the violence radiated to areas throughout the city. California Governor Pete Wilson deployed the National Guard at the request of Mayor Tom Bradley, and a curfew was declared. By the morning, hundreds of fires were burning across the city, more than a dozen people had been killed, and hundreds were injured.
