    A good musical, but not a very good biopic. The film continues the black theme and retro style of "The Help", and records the legendary life of James Brown, the godfather of music, including his transition from gospel to R&B, as well as his childhood abandonment by his parents and his desire to become famous. The part about the performance in the film can still be exciting, but unfortunately the narrative structure is a little...

    The music itself is very infectious, and the original sound and high-reduction stage beauty are a booster. The actors are quite good, but they took some risks in the structure. To tell the truth, I am tired of watching this kind of narration and editing. It seems that the whole is flat and difficult to remember the ups and downs. It's impossible to see something new in the...

    Chadwick Boseman, who didn't play much in "The Legend of No. 42", finally shines in this film.

    Boseman's performance was unexpected. It was both hardworking and very relaxed. He performed the genius and psycho of a rule breaker, and added a star to His Royal Highness the black panther who was splitting hard! As for the movie, except for the awkward part of breaking the fourth wall, the rest is exactly the same as "King of Soul Singer", and it all depends on the charm of the characters themselves. And two hours is not enough to explain the one and the only James Brown! Grandpa is so...
