I had always thought that the one problem with the movie would be that they paint the group in too positive a light, when they weren't exactly innocent all the time. All interesting points though, my favourite?<br /><br />"MC Ren was much more important to the group's success than let on."<br /><br />Oh AMEN to that bud, I remember I used to say that in school and people would say, 'who?'.

I remember a lot of people talking about the Dre beating on women thing being left out. That story (and MC Ren and Eazy's comments on the matter) are disgusting. I can see why they didn't include it. Can't have your protagonists doing something like that.

I keep hearing how great this is, and I want to see it, but I also read the complaints (especially from Dre's victims) that the film didn't portray them accurately. It's hard with these kind of biopics. You'd think, given the subject, they'd maybe want to go a little harder, but apparently the heroic angle you mention got in the way of that.<br /><br />I'll still give it a try, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-83743470206122661472016-04-05T08:06:53.305-04:002016-04-05T08:06:53.305-04:00I've only really recently watched Straight Out...I've only really recently watched Straight Outta Compton and, whilst I enjoyed it (I knew little to nothing about NWA going in, though my boyfriend is a fan) I had the reviews I had read in the back of my mind saying it was a squeaky clean version of the truth, unfortunately this is all too often the case when people being portrayed in the film are producers, too. <br /><br />Also, I second 24 Hour Party People, it's set in my home town Manchester in the UK :) though it's timeline of events has been rehashed so whilst it highlights the ugly truths of 'only hearing one side of the story' but completely washes over its own decisions of modifying the story.Rebecca Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14442723521295382425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-56853260221417161362016-04-05T00:17:20.632-04:002016-04-05T00:17:20.632-04:00Wow.

It's also easy to forget about Arabian Prince as it seems like he was just another guy but as I recall, he also did some of the writing into their songs.<br /><br />This is often why I'm a bit skeptical about seeing bio-pics about those I know about as it tends to distract you from what really happened and such. That is why I hold a film like <i>24 Hour Party People</i>, about Factory Records and the bands it spawned like Joy Division/New Order and the Happy Mondays, in such high regard was that it played with the scenario of what is real and what is dramatized. The best example of that blur is where the Tony Wilson character catches his wife having sex with Howard Devoto of the Buzzcocks in a bathroom. Just as Wilson walks out, the other person in the rumor is a janitor played by the real Howard Devoto who says "I don't remember any of this happening". Wilson then says that what really happened wasn't true but he then stays "but I agree with John Ford, if you're going to print something. Print the legend". thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
