Inaccurate

Rating: 6/10 (6 November 2015)

I was disappointed at the movie because the dress and speech of the place and time was not accurately portrayed. The people in Compton and South Central have a have melodious, funky way speaking (which maybe be the reason they make good rappers) which is not captured by the actors. Also Easy-E had a funny,unique way was speaking which was not depicted in the film. The style of dress in the late 80's was not baggy. Wearing a raiders jacket is not enough. Look at pictures or films from the 1980s gangs and people in general you'll see that the fashion is different. Much of the film took place inside closed rooms with the actors cursing at each other. It would have been better if they had the actors were doing stuff out in the street and showing the audience the streets of Compton. Also, a large percentage of people in compton are Latinos. Yeah, Dre does wear Cholo Nikes. But they could have included some cholo characters or hot latinas. Also, the movie does not explore the contrast between the on stage and off stage personas of NWA. Were they really Hudlums? or were NWA just rapping about the things they saw around them? The movie also dragged on too long. Oh, That being said, the film has some good party scenes and the cinematography, sound, special effects are pretty good.
