In the context of the current era, it turns out that the US imperialism’s racial discrimination has not changed in the slightest. You can even see the bullying video from 30 years ago in the film on Weibo. The general idea of the film is indeed good, but it is not in place when it is dealt with in detail.
First of all, the main line is weak. It seems that e is the protagonist, showing the history of NWA, but it is too stingy to shape e. Throughout the film, there are only the identities and characteristics of the boss, the lead singer, the mad, and the self-use. The lack of modeling caused the non-dimensionality of the characters, and created a combination of collapse. The reason is only e's disobedience and the small actions of the agent. This is just the male protagonist in the bad idol dramas who do not communicate with each other. Just be a close relative of the routine. The narrative is not very coherent, it only explains some important events, many transitional things are not shown, and the timeline is not clear enough. Only the development of the combination and the process of police violence law enforcement cases can barely be the clues of the time. , It is easy for people to look at it and be confused for a while.
Then I talk about the supporting role. I don't know the group beforehand. I read other film reviews and said that this is a whitewash film that Derui himself participated in. It is inevitable that this kind of emotion will be mixed with watching the movie. From the band's point of view, Derui is an indispensable player in DJing, but from the point of view of the film itself, Derui is too dispensable. Looking at the whole film, his role is only the three key nodes of ganging, leaving, and reconciliation, but in fact, the task of ganging up can be given to others without considering the facts. The ice cube also plays a major role in leaving and reconciling. The interspersed family, love, dead brother, and the arrest of a racing car in the plot have nothing to do with the plot. I understand that the purpose of these scenes is to sell the miserable Derry to shape the image of Xiaobai Yang. After all, except for Derui, the film has almost no background information about e and Bingcu, and the other members of NWA have almost no solo scenes, which makes it difficult to impress people.
So because of Derui's self-beautification, the film cast too many useless details on this useless supporting role, which failed to promote the development of the plot, and also compressed too much space for the rest of the characters to play, and the progress of the plot was also affected to a certain extent. So it's terrible to be bragging.
The character of ice cube seems to me the finishing touch. Although his film can only be shot third in weight, before the conflict, I even thought that e and Bingcuo were the same person. From the analysis of composition, he undertook the mission of the soul: creation is undoubtedly the cornerstone; from the experience, he was exploited by his friends and joint capitalists, and has not been able to obtain legal benefits; from the action point of view, he first endured and was drunk. After starting the counterattack, the wave of operations after being shaved by the record company boss is even more refreshing. He didn't kneel on the ground all the time, and it went smoothly after flying solo.
In connection with the background that the director has shown many times, but failed to respond well to the theme: from the perspective of racial discrimination, e chose to hook up with a white agent to pit brothers, and he was a young man who turned into a dragon; Derui went with the crowd and made no achievements. It is the national bourgeoisie who will only be incompetent and furious in the face of oppression; only the ice cube stood up fiercely and killed the e and white capitalists who had betrayed their faith. In my opinion, his line is the most suitable for the main line to develop, but Naihe is only a supporting role, and there is not much role in the back.
Therefore, artistic creation is still less letting people come, and changing the story will change the story.
Finally, I don’t know the relevant background. I only analyze it from the perspective of movies.
