It's an indisputable fact that Ethan Hawke is old and faded , and of course chet baker is not much more beautiful.
The tune of Hollywood has already broken away from the Asan style of singing and dancing, and a happy ending. In these years of music-related films, music is no longer a theme, but a clue and a background. The main purpose of the film is to speak first, as if music is the most inexplicable. After you figure it out, no matter what the occasion is, it will be the same.
However, as far as music is concerned, the so-called effort is always made after talent, and the tendency in American movies to conquer music with effort is probably due to the advocacy of elitism. Not as good as the pair of teachers and students in "Burst Drummer", they have so much Japanese energy. Another example is "Drunk Country Folk Songs", the whole life of a self-blaming folk singer. This kind of movie looks pleasing to the eye, but in the end I can't appreciate the beauty of music.
Fortunately, "Born to the Blues" is not like that. There are no corrections to beautify the real experience for the sake of political correctness, and no excessive exaggeration of reality. There is no great joy, no great compassion, or the kind of dramatic conflict that can be created in the whole film. The life of chet baker during the decline is brought to the screen. Compared to the documentary that he participated in but never watched, I believe that Chet Baker, who jumped from the stairs in Amsterdam in 1988, must prefer "Born as the Blues" as his own biographical film. After all, success and miracles are often staged on the big screen, but low ebb days are not very common.
The only thing that makes people unsatisfactory is this short performance by my funny valentine. Speaking of this, I only take Matt in the "Genius Ripley" scene.
In fact, most of the time, life itself is far more important than movies.
