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 Blues Queen", and relying on big names to get equal rights is really not good). However, "U.S. V." talked about the equal rights of blacks, but it still has a few pens. It is better to talk about equal rights or pure music. But it's not important. Such a politically correct movie is still a biography of the great god Billie Holliday, which will definitely win the prize. It’s just that this foreign movie fan will think it’s not pure enough, and it’s too scheming like "Green Book", and you can see at a glance that Ben is winning the prize. Another point of the play, the heroine tried to imitate Billie's speech and voice, but unfortunately the god is too big, imitating is tantamount to frustration, it is better to change the song part to the real voice of Billie. Are geniuses easy to fall into the drug trap? Because everything is so easy, if Billie doesn't need to be equalized and not framed, she may have a share in 27club. She was right, strange fruit can be passed down. But she was also wrong. "Lady in satin" is not her last album. After her death, she has been released by various record companies with over a thousand specials, and she is still a cash cow.

  • Reginald Lord Devine: What is the government's problem with Billie Holiday? Why are they after you?

    Billie Holiday: My song, Strange Fruit. It reminds them that they're killing us. Reminds them. It reminds you too, Reginald.

    Reginald Lord Devine: Lady, don't say that. See, this is why she's always getting in trouble. I'll edit that part out.

    Billie Holiday: You don't have to edit shit for Harry Anslinger. He was in charge of prohibition, remember? See us drinking, don't you? He can't afford to lose the drugs.

    Reginald Lord Devine: But it's a war on drugs, not on you, lady.

    Billie Holiday: Yeah, that's what they want you to believe. They say they want the names of my suppliers. They don't want no names. They want to destroy me. He wants me to stop singing what's in my soul.

    Reginald Lord Devine: Then why don't you stop singing the damn song? Wouldn't your life be easier if you just behaved?
