Straight Outta Compton

So, what am I doing reviewing something like Straight Outta Compton? First, I am a lover of everything about movies.

I just don't know how Black American people can stand so much racism! This movie shows it so well!

'Straight Outta Compton' directed by F. Gary Gray commences with police radio conversations about possible criminal activity happening on the spot which gets overlapped by reporters talking about the increased potency of the gangs in L.

As a sixty five year old retired white male, I'm certainly not part of the targeted demographic for this movie. However since it came my way I took advantage of the opportunity because I think one can gain perspective from most anything that's new and unfamiliar.

I personally LOVED the movie. I've never been/have ever lived in the hood (so I can't relate) I can say that I felt the pain and struggle that was portrayed by the characters in the movie.

Straight Outta Compton (2015) *** 1/2 (out of 4)Eazy-E (Jason Mitchell), Dr. Dre (Corey Hawkins) and Ice Cube (O'Shea Jackson, Jr.

Remarkably the movie version of the rise, fall and redemption (at least of Dr. Dre) of the hyper-politicized, most radical musical artists of their time still follows a natural trajectory of fame you see in many other musical acts.

The sheeple buying into the manufactured racial divide are picking sides over this one look at everyone up in hooves in the reviews. Fact is, the narrative of NWA's rise and the requisite controversy is no different than any artists who change the game, and this film did a fine job depicting it.
