Welcome to Compton! ``Straight Outta Compton'' sounds a warning

Closely involved in NWA

While it is said that it is difficult for a music autobiography film to become a hit, this film was a huge hit. `` Walk the Line' ' (2005), which depicts Johnny Cash, held the top spot for 10 years as the top US box office music autobiographical film, but this film eclipses that record. defeated and won first place. However, it was later surpassed by Queen's " Bohemian Rhapsody " (18), and is currently in second place.

What made it a huge hit was largely due to the ability of director F. Gary Gray, who brilliantly dramatized NWA 's unique historical background. In the early stages, before F. Gary Gray was chosen, John Singleton from Boyz 'n the Hood (1991) was also mentioned, but he withdrew before he knew it. John Singleton took the title of NWA's song `` Boyz N the Hood' ' and used it as the title of the movie, and dragged the song's writer, Ice Cube, into the movie. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would have liked to have seen his film ``Straight Outta Compton.''

Gary Gray worked together on the film ``Friday'' (1995), which marked Ice Cube's start in film production and F. Gary Gray's directorial debut. I accomplished it. This work was a turning point for both of them. Dr. Dre also made his screen debut by appearing in F. Gary Gray's ``Set It Off'' (1996). It seems that these past relationships are well reflected in this work.

Of course, not only F. Gary Gray, but also the actors who played NWA in this work made a spectacular leap.

This film was successful not only in making NWA's achievements known, but also in giving opportunities to young actors and nurturing them.
