The first half is an urban legend, and the second half is thrown to reality. The front tries to immerse you in a spiritual field, those empty mirrors of meaning, those blurred and dreamy situations, reproduced on the screen along with historical materials and interview statements, interspersed with his music, teasing you with the original sensibility of music. Sensual, atmospheric, and essentially a true musical. If you throw it into reality later, in fact, if you want to interview yourself, you can choose more. The copyright issue asks whether the daughter avoids the edge? I would also like to ask why he went to South Africa? Did the people of South Africa really like your music or did it happen to be the spiritual leader of the rebellion? Many questions have not been clearly answered, or they will not be adopted, focusing on shaping the symbol of his "spiritual leader". The voice of ordinary people in South Africa is also lacking, although the interviews are very extensive. If there is a choice between film materials, it is not impossible to shape people's artists. The deep cultural barriers behind them are revealed, and there is less comparison and digging of the cultural faults on both sides, and there is insufficient information. Besides, playing his music hard will only make people distracted while listening to his music. Returning to reality, emphasizing that the South African dream is indeed legendary, and the questions raised at the beginning have been perfectly answered. The biographical film is legendary, the main fan filter is very high-end, how a documentary can complete the excellent script design.
The story is told in a setting that grasps the audience's emotions and suspense, and after finding a person, he finds his personality, and the cuts are clear.
What makes his music does not need to be too much ink, just interspersed with the scenery of the city, the streets of Detroit are his real "colors in my dream". Finally returned to this city, where he lived for more than 40 years, the sense of cultural belonging and identity is self-evident.
And South Africa, just another beautiful dream, for Rodriguez, is a parallel time and space that fulfills all his wishes in his music career. He is extremely pure in music, so he doesn't care about fame and fortune. After singing for the audience who love me, he turned to leave. He proved art with his actions and told us that dreams will always wake up, and live in the moment.
