Straight Outta Compton

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 2015)

The movie was great. It has only been showing for three days and has already pulled over sixty million dollars. I identified with the plot from the beginning when the late rapper Eric White; also known as Eazy-E found himself in a situation that I once found myself in as a kid. The movie brought back so many memories of my youth, I felt as though someone had pushed my replay button. My emotions ran wild as each exciting scene was played out. There was a steady fast pace that kept my adrenaline flowing. There were several morals to the story concerning money, friendship, and unprotected sex.
"Straight Outta Compton," is a story of five young men that started a rap group in the 1980s. The name of the group was, "N.W.A..." Eazy-E is the star of the show and the owner of the company/rap group. The actors are the sons of the original N.W.A. Rap Group. The actors seemed to have a knack for the screen; they seemed to naturally play their parts. I felt the story was a tribute to Eazy-E.
A few scenes probably will stay with me for some time; Producer Suge Knight made a mockery of a man. The man obviously wasn't from the west coast. Suge made the man repeat after him, "the west coast is the best coast." It went something along those lines. I can't remember the exact words but I do remember getting extremely upset because it seemed obvious the man was from the east coast. There were several subliminal pot shots taken at the east coast that got me a little emotional. Weather the subliminal pot shots taken at the east coast was a figment of my vivid imagination or not those scenes were emotionally moving; and for that I'm giving the movie another star.
(Spoiler Alert) This movie sparked some controversy concerning the police brutally scenes. Some theaters are reluctant to show the movie because the police brutality scenes may insight violence. Of course, the brutality scenes are of police assaulting young black men. I do understand the concern about violence in the movie theaters because there has been several shooting in movie theaters. I also agree with, Rapper Ice Cube, "there has never been a black perpetrator." Showing the brutality on screen can't make the situation any worse. America knows what's going on, besides we'll more than likely see it again on the news by next month. I was more upset about the east coast subliminal messages than the police brutality because police brutalizing young black men has sadly become the norm. Theaters and movie goers don't have much to worry about.
I recommend you go see this ten star movie. Do not buy the bootleg copy. It is obvious the team that made the movie worked hard for their money. I'm promoting these guys because they did a hell of a job. Let's give them their props!
