      What is happiness in "Finding Sugar Man"? Rodriguez gave me the answer

      There is a singer who broke the sales record in South Africa when he released his first album. He has a large number of fans in South Africa, and his status is comparable to that of Elvis.

      You are one of his many fans. You play his songs on a loop every day. His songs continue to inspire you and accompany you through many difficult years.

      On a sunny day, you heard that your idol sang the last song on stage, silently lit himself on fire, and he committed suicide.

      The most...

      not everyone understands you

      Knowing this film was when Shen Chen asked a job seeker if he knew about the best documentary at this year's Oscars, and I noticed he had a smile on his face when he said it.

      I looked for it at night. After I finished, I felt that I couldn't sort out my thoughts. No doubt this is a very magical story.

      The music at the beginning of the film attracted me deeply, suger man, how interesting. Country music style. I don't have much research on music, and I know that Bob Dylan is...

First of all, thanks to Rodriguez's talent, both the melody and the lyrics (especially the lyrics) are wonderful; without this premise, about him No matter how mysterious Myth was, it would turn into a mystical low taste. Second, thanks for an inexplicable, oh, oh, miss in the American music market in the 1970s? If it...

      Always remember, there will be reverberations

      After watching this documentary at noon with nothing to do, my mind is full of these two sentences. What appeared in front of him was a singer who could not tell his age, with a calm expression like water.

      Rodriguez, a rock singer of Mexican descent, released two albums "Cold Fact" and "Coming From Reality" in the 1970s. Although his record company believes that his work is completely comparable to that of Bob Dylan, the truth is The dismal sales of his records in the United States...

      A little skeptical idea, the gap between reality and works

      The long-famous documentary has finally been watched in its entirety. This is a good story. The documentary itself adopts a rather dramatic way of expression, a rather suspenseful narrative method, and the appropriate insertion of music and pictures, which makes it very easy to touch people when watching. This is very easy to impress and attract the audience, which is full of interest.

      However, this also creates a feeling that it does not feel like a...

      Love of rock and roll and being fooled by the text introduction to buy this disc, fell asleep several times, forced to open his eyes and fell asleep again. Even a documentary can't be so boring, let alone such an interesting...

      This is a legend in life. The creator deliberately made this story more suspenseful, and also made the film very dramatic behind. At the same time, what is unforgettable is the low-key of the...

      For people in Cape Town, South Africa, Sixto Rodriguez is like John Lennon or Elvis Presley coming back to Beijing for a concert tour. This story can only be described as magic. A person who is more popular than Elvis in South Africa has been like McGovern in Hitchcock movies for decades. This path of search in the film has brought surprises and legends. It is time to find his two Let's listen to this album....

    Movie quotes

    • Rick Emmerson: He had this kind of magical quality that all the genuine poets and artists have: to elevate things. To get above the mundane, the prosaic. All the bullshit. All the mediocrity that's everywhere. The artist, the artist is the pioneer.

    • Rodriguez: Thanks for keeping me alive!

    • Himself - Record Shop Owner: Home is acceptance.
