Times are moving forward, but even if Qianlang dies on the beach, the advancement itself still cannot leave the few cornerstones laid by the ancestors.
That's how legends come!
"Whether you sing R&B or RAP, what I'm trying to say is, you'll never leave us... They're all things we've grown up with~~" Maddie Walter's remarks at the end of the film are so mischievous In front of the screen, I laughed out loud.

I think this is probably history itself. It's not easy to grasp when we look at the big picture and recite those great but somewhat dull histories in textbooks.
Celebrities move the course of history, but their personal lives are not necessarily glamorous—even tragic. This does not prevent us from affirming their greatness.

Everyone has both extraordinary and ordinary sides. The extraordinary is manifested in creativity, while the ordinary is manifested in conformity-perhaps only by breaking through the latter, a person's self will release the most dazzling brilliance.
It takes courage to do it.
And admitting it requires more courage.

Little Walter, I have heard some recordings of him, and rumor has it that he is very unruly. His life and his death were unfortunate, but more often than not, people cared more about his talent.
Personal misfortune is, to a certain extent, the great fortune of music - it seems that not only music, but any art is probably like this.

Etta James's voice is beautiful, but she always struggles with the shadow of blood and origin. This may be the characteristic of her music - it seems that in 2003, she won the Grammy Award for Lifetime Achievement. Although she could no longer sing those passionate and struggling notes, the world still knew her. music...even the birth of music itself, full of pain.

Etta, played by Beyoncé, is always full of Beyoncé's own shadow, but I can't find fault with her - because she herself is probably the person who will be recorded in the history of pop music.

In fact, the original intention of watching this film is because Brody played the leading role... His acting skills are really excellent, especially when he understood Eta's heart, the smile on the corner of his mouth made me feel depressed for a long time.

After watching the movie, I went down to Eta's song. Then turn off the lights, lie on the bed, and imagine the love between Chase and Eta.

Chase did not leave a will after his death, but he had instructed Maddie Walter to give Eta's deed to her. Maddy had the following dialogue with Eta.
Etta: "He didn't leave a will, but he still thinks about me..."
Maddy: "This bastard..."
Etta: "That means he loves me...he loved me."
Maddy : "This bastard..."

Chase records drown in history, but the music that Chase created lives on. The artists of Chez Records, the green smoke scattered into the Wuhou family, but the spirit of the artists has a long history.

History itself is far more intriguing than we imagine.
