So, if you are not interested in those early blues music, you will definitely see it and you can only give 2 stars. But if you like the music, the music alone already makes this movie worth 4 stars.
The story told in the film can basically be regarded as the prehistory of rock music. Because I have read all the books about the history of rock music before, when talking about its origins with black blues music, it basically starts with Chuck Berry. It's when a Chuck Berry song is playing on the radio that the radio DJ utters the word Rock n' Roll - a historic moment that also appears in the film, but it's brushed over without any fuss. Just like the Rolling Stones that flashed by in the film, they told Muddy Waters, the earliest musician of Chess Record, that we are your big fans, which is a little bit of expressing how these prehistoric characters are related to the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, etc. relationship with descendants.
Looking back at its straightforward rhythm, I don't think it's bad. The life of each of these birdmen is quite tossing, and the story will continue to grow indefinitely if you unfold it anywhere. The current method of filming is like a documentary, or a chronicle, or a style painting. And, at least it said one thing, what guitars and blues mean to the lives of those black people.
