Review of Straight Outta Compton (2015) by Whysoserious54 — 30 Aug 2015

Average movie with below average acting. I think the hype machine has done a better job convincing people this movie is actually better than it is. The Hollywood fluff is obvious. The movie is missing the grit and reality.

This group suffered from drug abuse, sexual assault, battery towards woman, and violence. Interesting how they forgot to put those in, making these guys look like heroes. Pioneers in the music scene yes but heroes they are not.

Eazy E suffered from drug addiction to Cocaine, X, LSD, Crack, amongst many others including being a drunk 100% of the time. Dr Dre was charged several times with assault including beating up a waitress and getting charged for beating up his ex girlfriend.

Ice Cube growing up with strict parents and becoming a dedicated father in the early 90's This truth never came up, was ignored and sadly the people will never experienced the real truth as to why this group fell apart.

Watching it was hilarious how they keet ignoring the real truths scene after scene. Showing Eazy E and Dre treating woman so kindly and never once doing drugs. Please I wanted to see the GRIT and the REAL people these men were.

Dre is a different man now and Cube grew up faster than all. This would have been a more powerful story showing how they grew up rather than ignoring the pain and trouble they were facing personally.
