Furious Styles, played by Laurence Fishburne, represented the educated Was blessed in the sense that he had a strong father who kept him on the right track. Tre Styles who represented a guy who grew up in ‘the hood,’, but wanted moreįor himself than the hood could offer. His character represents what happens when people “live by the gun.” This tragic role has been played out on theīig screen in so many movies including: Scarface,Ĭarlito’s Way, Goodfellas, New Jack City and so many more great His character in Belly is memorable because of that ridiculous wig he wore.

Despite his understanding of right and wrong (values passed on by a good friend, his kind grandparents, a caring teacher), his life and its entrapments are too much to overcome. His is a world where respect comes from intimidation, power from violence. As a very young boy, Caine witnesses his dad murdered over something inconsequential, and his mom OD.
