Billie Halloda and her Strange Fruit

Billie had enough material for the director and screenwriter to produce a great biopic in her life. Unfortunately, the narrative of the whole film was disordered, editing and cohesion were blunt, and the combination of black and white and color images did not know what to say, and failed to achieve the desired effect. What a pity.

The dramatic conflict in the film expresses all kinds of goodness. As the greatest jazz star, Billie’s life of suffering and the...

The white, left, and black monsters' naked reversal of the demon wind makes me sick!

This is my most direct feeling after comparing two Billie Holiday biopics shot in different years in Hollywood. Reversing the case can either mean bleaching the original black to white, or bleaching the original white to black. For example, in the United States last year because of the black people’s kneeling and killing incident, they were toppled, beheaded, and defaced the statues. , This film contains the above two reversals at the same time. Let's first briefly understand...

Billie is still

I heard billie holliday for the first time at the age of 13, and was attracted by her unique voice. It was the first time I knew that my last name could be a holiday. Later, I kept listening to holliday's songs, and I rarely remember the title of the song, but when I heard it, I knew that she sang it. Never knew her story until this drama. Compared with "The Blues Queen", "U.S. v. Billie Halloday" is more like a biography and more comfortable (I don't like the unreasonable troubles of "The...

Use singing to promote social justice

Billie Holiday, a black female jazz singer, played a key role in my turn of interest. After listening to her songs when I first came to the United States, I finally quit Guo Lanying, Li Guyi, and Zhu Fengbo who had heard of them since childhood. However, from the perspective of the social significance of the song, it should be Tan Weiwei who sings "Xiaojuan" and advocates the basic rights of women who is slightly similar to Harold.

The biographical film "The...

The song Strange Fruit is already worthy of praise from the filmmaker. She's strong, beautiful and black. (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Li Danniers’ kind of audio-visual language that resembles flying is very strong in the age of telling stories about people of color. I can feel his deep love for the movie's subject, his culture and his people. Billie's life (at least shown in this film) is burdened with the suffering that weighs on her entire race, too heavy that only drugs can help her escape, and this...

Three and a half. I am surprised that Andrade's performance is so good. She speaks or breathes with her character. Her every move is not because you see me playing this person, this Halladay who is deeply involved in the legend, but Today, Holiday is using my body to recreate, and I have delivered my body and soul a performance that recreates the past. Her acting thinking is better than the director. The director is still singing section after section. The in and out of another man, you can see...

The worst movie of this year's Oscar season, like a drunkard who was so drunk that he spoke bad words but insisted on talking tongue twisters. Why Lee Daniels regressed to this...
