The 80’s were a scary time in America with rising tentions within minority communities, the destabilaztion of the economy, and the aids epidemic. The movie “Straight Outta Compton” was a significant cinematic production in many ways by having actors that portrayed their characters almost to perfection, a historical accurate story line, and a film crew that did an amazing job for every scene shot. F.Gary Gary masterfully captures the emotions of a generation by using; talented actors, a poient soundtrack
