Too much is unexplained

Rating: 6/10 (7 September 2015)

For a movie that lasts so long, it was somewhat of an achievement to leave so much unexplained. I had to keep asking myself why various events were happening, especially the forgiveness towards the band- member who seems to arrange a greedy structuring of the profits. I was also left wondering what DJ Yella and MC Ren contributed to the band.
I really only felt any sympathy or connection towards Ice Cube and Dr Dre − perhaps this was because Ice Cube apparently had a big part in the making of the movie and perhaps Dr Dre put up a lot of the cash for the project.
The end of the movie felt incomplete, as so much was left unanswered. I know that Dr Dre is successful now and I know that Ice Cube did some acting later in life, but I don't know what ended up happening to pretty much everyone else in the film. I believe a film should be complete, I don't feel that I should need to take a pop culture history lesson to enjoy it.
