his name is Rodriguez

The story leads us to meet a singer (I think this can be called an artist) who is living hard at the bottom of the United States. He has released two albums, but only 6 records have been sold in the United States. He sings in the United States. , sings the bottom of America, or even just his own songs, but in South Africa (a country I am completely unfamiliar with, even if it hosted the last World Cup, I can't even name a city there) Had a huge impact, even affecting a generation there. Young people, musicians, artists there are inspired by him to open up new worlds, and their local people first hear his music as a record brought from the United States and then copied and transcribed on their own. (reminds me of the manuscript novels spread by folks in the history of our country), such a dramatic and legendary story, with this movie-like narrative technique, step by step investigation to find out that the person who was thought to be dead at the beginning is still alive. , I am as excited as the people in the film (but you who read my film review, if you haven't watched this documentary, then you won't have the same feeling as me, I'm here to express my apologies...…).
When seeing this person's low-key personality, his nervousness and shyness when facing the camera, and seeing that he has been wearing sunglasses all the time (from this film alone, Wong Kar-wai's style of wearing sunglasses all the time is compared to him. It’s just pretending), seeing him walking with his head down and seemingly cautious, and even in the whole film he said the least, I feel that this person is really a very special person compared to the singers, stars, and musicians we have seen in the past. Rare, more like a shy and introverted friend who is very common around us. When a person achieves his dream, becomes a rock star, is sought after by many people, and after dozens of concerts with tens of thousands of people, many people's lives are changed because of him, as his daughter said, many people I made a lot of money because of him, and he can return to his original life indifferently. I can only say that he has caused a great impact on my already subverted outlook on life. If there are more people with this attitude, or if there are people with such stories around me, I think our lives will be different.
Finally let's remember him, his name is Rodriguez.
