The overall feeling is a mediocre biopic, but in fact, every point has been given, the play is complete, there are no major flaws, and every scene is arranged just right. , you can feel the restraint and calmness of the screenwriter. It is a pity that I have not seen the transcendence of the characters themselves, which may also be a relationship of respect for facts. Therefore, in the choice of biopics, I will prefer characters who have a more ups and downs history and surpass themselves at the lowest point and achieve religious revelation.
The film still revolves around brotherhood. Several poor children came together because of music, parted ways because of money, and finally because one of them died of AIDS. Brothers who had been missing for many years reunited, shed a few tears on each other, and each started a new journey. . The elements in it are also common in black movies, such as money, women, sex, brothers, violence, racial discrimination, etc., but because of the need to create group portraits, these penetrating elements have been weakened. Compared with "King of Soul Singer", which is also a black theme, and these elements are the same, what Ray Charles finally conveyed to me is the sense of fate of a lonely genius. His life may be messy, but in jazz he is the king, and his Egotism, arrogance, and sensitivity due to blindness will make him fall to the altar. However, he is in awe of music, and he is persistent. A good biographical material must be a character with a sense of tragedy. He is the king of a certain industry. Persistence makes him but also destroys him, and this duality and extremeness is the basis of a biopic. But I don't see in this film, the protagonist's awe and love for music, in the film music is treated as a decorative flower of black friendship, all the characters are talking about money, record sales, etc., they may use music It expresses the struggle of black people, but it is also superficial, so racial discrimination is only reduced to a background in this film, and the thinking about violence is not expressed in the film.
Perhaps this is also the outstanding part of this film. It is simple and direct. The elements of violence, brothers, money, and beauty are enough to prop up an excellent commercial film. Compared with real action films and shootout films, I think "Rush Out of Kang" Putton is restrained.

    Hey Dre, I got something to say. Boyz N da hood in the studio, Fuck da Police in the middle finger, Nothing but a G thing, 1,2,3 and the 4… ...I've been waiting for Old G to my heart's content. But to be fair, the movie is really bad.
