A Spike Lee joint "Crooklyn" was released in the year of 1994 but was taken place in a summer of 1973. The main character name was Troy (A girl) it took me a while at first because when i first heard that name i thought it was a boy because she had brothers. Troy has brothers that's older and some are younger but she is the one the mother and father expects most from such as; cleaning,cooking etc house wife duties. The brothers would usually watch t.v in the bedroom and sing to the soul train channel. The father was a jazz musician who was really supported by his wife she paid all the bills and etc and even told the father that. He didn't like the fact that he wasn't the bread winner but he tried to be. With the household being this way made the mother real strict towards the kids and father, giving everybody in the house a peace of mind. One summer Troy was sent down south to one of her aunts to stay for the summer. A whole lot different from Brooklyn New York Troys hometown. Living in the apartments and being used to a stoop in front of the house, Troy wasn't use to having a back yard to play in or wearing dresses with pig tails on the side of her head. The aunt would hurt Troy's feelings saying mean things and Troys uncle would tell Troy her Aunt didn't mean those things.This made troy want to go home back to Brooklyn New York, so she got a plane ticket from her Aunt and uncle and they picked her up from the airport and brought her back home. Than, the mother died at the end of the movie and everyone took it hard but Troy could still hear her mothers voice.
