What a good cultural feature looks like

Today I recommend "Twenty Feet From the Superstar", a group portrait record of the backing singers.
Although I think it is debatable to beat "Deduction of Killing" to win this year's Oscar for Best Documentary, but I have to say that maybe a good cultural feature should look like this. It must be realized that the unheard voice is not necessarily far away or at the bottom of the society, sometimes it is on the side of our most eye-catching aura.
I didn't know much about music history, and I was distracted for a while, but the stories of the characters caught me back. You don’t need to bluntly repeat the relevant American music background knowledge but have the ability to retain audiences who are not familiar with the content. This is probably the current domestic propaganda material (sorry, many so-called special articles that introduce Chinese customs to the outside world can only be called materials. ) and the great gulf between good features.
Music transcends values, transcends language.
Back to the content, I have to sigh that fate makes people, some people walk to the center of the stage twenty feet away to receive flowers and applause, while others are not known to the world after a brief flashy, and even the cover girl of Playboy magazine In the end, he became a Spanish teacher in a corner. I remember there was a great quote from a backing singer named tata vega, which roughly means: "If I really do flourish, I probably won't be sitting here chatting with you now, maybe I'm taking drugs somewhere."

    Four and a half stars. Stories like this move me so much. "Not everyone who sings well can become a superstar. You need to meet your Bole, you need to learn to pack yourself, you need to show yourself to everyone, and I just love music." I was shocked by their singing voice and experience. , I'm sorry that they were not treated fairly, and I can't help but sigh: This kind of thing doesn't just happen in the music circle. But as a documentary, it can only be regarded as above average.

    In fact, this is not just the situation of one industry. Every industry and every workplace is a complex circle. Not every talented person has the opportunity to achieve a career or achieve success in the secular sense. But as an artist, the realization of self-worth and self-pursuit of art is so noble and glamorous, and business operations based on this will make most people sigh. The interspersed performances of several paragraphs are very good. Michael's short appearances still make my heart hurt.
