#Watch 23 straight outta compton movie
The movie was equal parts hilarious, tear jerking, and even insightful in the way of showing a midwestern person what life in Compton was like back then, and in some cases still like today. I had already known that Ice Cube’s son was going to play him, but I didn’t know that he looked pretty much identical to his father, it was crazy how similar they look. Then I remembered that he’s been dead for 19 years and that scene took place in about 1994. I literally believed that it was 2pac himself, like a reincarnation of some sort. There was this one scene towards the end of the movie that introduced 2pac, whom I didn’t even know would be in the movie, where I actually thought it was him. The actors looked so much like the original people in my opinion that it got scary at times. What surprised me most was how accurately the characters resembled the original people. as his father Ice Cube, Corey Hawkins as Dr Dre, Jason Mitchell as Eazy-E, Aldis Hodge as MC Ren, Neild Brown as Dr Yella, and Paul Giamatti as the group’s manager Jerry Heller. Mostly because I’m a sucker for biopics about my favorite artists, but also because I had kept hearing about how amazing it was, and how well they portrayed their story of 9 years in 2 and a half hours.

I went into the theater with higher hopes than any other movie. I wanted to know more about them, seeing as I was born years after they had disbanded. I was interested in seeing the story behind the fame, and how you can take struggle and turn it into success. I was immediately drawn to it and just had to see it. I started seeing the trailer for the movie during commercial breaks in June. I connected with the movie, which shocked me slightly because I wasn’t around for the whole NWA era. The movie told the story of the group in such a fluid manner, while making sure you saw the important details in between each leap. May I say, I was 100% speechless leaving the theatre. On August 23, I went to the movies to see the much anticipated movie Straight Outta Compton, which is a biopic of the story of the famous rap group NWA.
