      do not understand appreciation

      Saw the movie at the hotel, HBO. Hard-to-understand accent, slurred words, and shooting because someone was using the toilet in his house—he had already rented the house to someone else for an insurance training class. No one knew him, time was just like that.
        So he began to slowly recall how he became like this.

        He did a lot of crazy things, but, first and foremost, he was a singer. No matter how jerk he is, how ignorant of the world, he is a good singer. When he saw the...

    Movie plot

    The life of James Brown (Chadwick Boseman), the godfather of soul music , is full of legends. Especially in the changeable last century, after birth and growth in the 1930s, his loving mother cultivated and guided him with heart. Although James Brown has experienced the misfortunes of most black people and the excesses caused by his youthful and unruly personality, in the end, it is his talent and the toughness of his family that he...
