Today's film viewing training I chose this: What Happened, Miss Simone? First compare this film to Amy Winehouse, I just want to say, the latter is actually quite pale. The director should have tried his best, but Amy is too pale, I can only say that, Amy is an angry and promiscuous alcoholic young woman, unable to manage her violent emotions, easily influenced by the media and money, relying on emotions Do things, live by emotions, even if she doesn't die, how far can "talent" support her?...

nobleman trapped in the quagmire
Saying she was born in the wrong age, in fact her self seems to be the mark of that age. She can be the first black classical pianist, and life has not come true; she can be a best-selling jazz player and become an angry youth in the middle; she can be a civil rights fighter, but go the wrong way and lose herself; She has always been looking for her own destination, and has always been self-identified. Even if she went to Africa, it was only a temporary indulgence, and in fact she still did not...

Will you be really happy? Miss Simone
I don't know how many people shed tears from the second half of the movie when she went from Africa to the performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1976. Every time she came to this scene where she was almost indifferent and sad, she suddenly turned to the scene. A female fan who stood up almost reprimanded the name and broke into laughter. I have watched this episode several times, thinking about the ease in her eyes when she was accompanied by a group of blond beauties in a certain video...

Bullshit about black music (blues, R&B, jazz, etc.)
Write random things about music. Simone's ideas, private life, etc., do not want to discuss. The brains of such musicians are not much better than ordinary people in other aspects.
Blues: The literal translation is "Blues", and the transliteration is "Blues". Transliteration/free translation, refers to a musical style. (Hereinafter, referred to as "Bruce").
R&B (abbreviation of Rhythm and Blues, occasionally abbreviated as RnB): The Chinese translation is Rhythm and Blues (rhythm... -

The famous jazz actor and the goddess of democracy movement
I'm ignorant, and I've never heard of Nina Simon and other figures in the jazz world before watching this documentary. But after all, music is the common language of human beings. From the first song, it has been clear that this woman is not a mediocre person.
A talent that an ordinary ear like me can hear is naturally impossible to hide. Simon was picked up by vocalists as a child and recommended to study at the great Juilliard School. However, her skin color and her social class...
