Compton

Put on beats headphones on the plane and start watching "Straight Outta Compton". Soon I saw the name of Dr. DRE, and I was a little surprised --- Dr. DRE and beats are the same mythological headset brand, so I don’t need to say anything about it.

Yes, this is a biographical film about Dr. DRE's debut group NWA. A group of punks violently attacked the dangerous streets and establishments they were in, and a song F**k The Police made them popular overnight. They called their band "Niggas With Attitude" and their music called "Reality Rap".

Because of the dangerous world and violent music, the first third of the movie had an excellent outbreak. But when the band fell apart in the middle, the movie started to soften. The brotherhood at the end is still a bit reluctant. But the metaphor of "Compton" is still very good: where everyone comes from is actually his destiny. These four people, no matter how much they tossed, actually did not get rid of their origin.

This combination and "gang rap" were beautified by the movie. Seeing the subtitles and discovering that Dr. DRE and Ice Cube were the producers of the film, it suddenly dawned on me. No one would spend money to make a movie to expose his own inferiority, let alone Dr. DRE, a geek who specializes in business. Looking at the success of beats and his record company Aftermath, you can understand the difference between him and other mixed singers.

For those who like hip-hop, this film can be viewed as a quasi-documentary about West Coast rap. (Recommended by Samsung)

    I really don't understand why such a cool subject has to be made into such a boring style. Although NWA has written cool music, this film is really not cool enough, especially the plot after the tour. Is a sharp turn to pieces. I really want to get Alon Sorkin, AGI, and the guy who made "The Bursting Drummer" and make this into one of those awesome Backstage dramas.

    The film is normal. The music is also average. Taking pictures of myself, it's too white to wash, it's boring. The only contribution is to learn more about the history of gang rap. The original screenplay award certainly won't get it. Battles never make a real rapper angry, people just find it interesting.
