I saw an interview where Cube only considered two directors for the job. John Singleton and F.Gary Gray.
I wonder how Singleton feels and do you think he could have done a better job?
I was
I agree completely about Dre. He was feeling himself hella. Had to put down a dead Eazy to make his legacy look better. And the "Aftermath" line was lame.Saw the movie today, didn't go through the entire thread so some stuff may already have been mentioned.
I agree with a lot of people the first half was excellent and the second half struggling a bit. Not enough to bring the movie down for me though because understandably it's a lot harder to keep the story focused once they break up and they all got their separate things going on. That's a lot of story to balance so I accepted that it wasn't always accurate, although I will say the Dre superthug shyt was too much. It was alright in the beginning, but that scene with Pac where he steps to Suge and shuts down the entire room full of bloods was just ridiculous. As what that corny ending pretending he left on his own terms and dropping that Aftermath line just to emphasize his greatness. The movie definitely favored him and Cube too much.
The guy playing Eazy was really great, Cube's son did good as well (especially as post-NWA Cube) and the guy playing Dre was alright. What stood out to me about him though was that he was mimicking a lot of Denzel's mannerisms in his performance. I don't know if anyone else caught onto that but at certain times it really stood out to me. Giamatti was really good too btw, I like how they portrayed him in the scene where Eazy fired him. No cliché angry villainous rant, but crying like a weakling while still trying to excuse his actions. That, the Detroit 'fukk Tha Police' performance and the 'No Vaseline' scene were probably my favorites in the movie.
Who was the dude that was stripped down in the death row offices supposed to be ?
