[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have only read a few pages of this thread but glad i saw the movie BEFORE reading any of this. I am 42, white, female and not a big fan of gangsta rap.
 I absolutely loved this movie! I thought it was extremely well acted, written and produced. I am not the most intelligent person on earth but it was obvious to me that the purpose of the movie was to be entertaining while telling a story - it should be a given that some aspects of the story were downplayed, some were exaggerated and some were changed for the sake of making a good movie. Worked for me! 
For those who are "outraged" about casting calls and Dre's violent episodes ... HELLO?! What about the LAPD's treatment of blacks during this time, the Rodney King verdict, the exploitation of artists by the music business and that ghetto monster Suge Knight? A lot of stuff to be outraged about covered in this movie.  
The rappers were clearly making a social commentary about their world. The movie does a great job of depicting this. So i just wanted to say that i really enjoyed it and hope I'm not the only one who feels this way.  [/quote]

HELLO?! Since when are these things mutually exclusive? [/quote]
