In the last shot of Burt from THE FABELMANS, the shadow he casts on the wall is that of his wife, Mitzi. I'm sort of gobsmacked at how audacious it is while being so subtle. There'll never be another Spielberg.

So BOYZ N THE HOOD, after its bittersweet epilogue, puts the title on screen again and asks viewers to "Increase the Peace." It's a moment to decompress and a big part of the movie's texture. And Netflix SHRINKS IT into a corner window to bring up a splash page for "Street Food".
