Co-written and directed by Spike Lee. The film takes place in Brooklyn, New York and in the neighborhood Bedford-Stuyvesant during the summer of 1973. This film is primarily focused on this young girl named, Troy and her family. Throughout the movie, Troy learns multiple life lessons through her four rowdy brother, loving but strict mother, and naive, struggling father.
A nine-year-old Troy Carmichael and her brothers; Clinton, Wendell, Nate, and Joseph live in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn. She learns different things from her mother and brothers. Troy having to take over the family when her mother passed is kind of common today. Some families only have a father, or a mother. That child who takes over, shows the amount of strength anyone can have; especially at a young age.
The way Spike Lee morphed young Troy into being the 'mother figure' for her brothers, shows what anyone is possible of doing anything. Unfortunately things happen, and someone has to step up do and start doing things now. Some people nowadays may not have one or either parent and they learn how to fend for themselves. They learn how to do specific things that their parent can't do, etc. In reality this is possible and it shows what a young person can do.
