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 United States vs. Billie Holiday" (The United States vs. Billie Holiday) covers the career of this classic jazz singer for many years. The audience has the opportunity to hear the famous songs that Americans can dance in the middle of the 20th century. Blue Moon, All of Me, Lady Sings the Blues, etc., and her most famous and defining song is "Strange Fruit", the musical starting gun of the American civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s.
Haloday first sang this song in 1939. The focus of the movie was from after World War II until her death at the age of 44 in 1959. "Strange Fruit" refers to the black body hanging on a poplar tree after being lynched in the southern United States. This song that accuses racial discrimination and bravely pursues social justice is hardly popular among white supremacists, and Halloday has therefore become the target of continued crackdowns by the FBI. The special feature of the American system is that the FBI cannot use singing the song itself to hold her criminally responsible, nor can it impose her on baseless charges such as provoking troubles. They can only draw pigtails from Halloday’s private life. .
The personal quality of life of this talented singer is far behind that of any ordinary person. She lacked family warmth since she was a child, and became a sex worker when she was less than 14 years old. The men who entered the close distance as an adult are the beneficiaries of her talents, but also exploiters and perpetrators. The only true love is sent by the FBI to monitor and collect evidence. Agent. She was thrown into prison for drug abuse, and died young because of liver failure caused by alcohol abuse.
