1. Racial resistance: I guess her inner anger should have started when she was four years old and started playing the piano in church, but her parents who were black could only be arranged to listen to her playing in the last row. She changed her name to play devil's music, The Curtis Institute, where her skin color had shut her out, seemed to have completely destroyed her dreams of being the first black classical pianist to perform at Carnegie Hall, and she finally found a deep place in the maelstrom of positive social movements and racial equality. Rebellious at heart, she is a true performer on stage.
2. Love and affection: From love at first sight to business partner, Andy has brought Simone to the highest point that a singer can reach. He is a businessman, and he needs to manipulate Miss Simone, who lives a rebel demon in her heart. He tries to suppress her inner feelings. Anger, from patriarchal manipulation to domestic violence, one of them is willing to be beaten, the other is willing to suffer, and even made Miss Simeone produce this physical sadism is the only antidote to save her from depression and suicidal tendencies, they There was no intimacy, no touch, and no love in their relationship, so until the end they didn't even bother to pretend to be in a relationship. To be honest, Miss Simeone's single going to Africa is not the appearance of being responsible for her daughter. From her daughter's later monologue interview She can see the deep hatred and misunderstanding of her mother's violence against her in Africa. Her mother has changed from a victim to an abuser. This may be the last outbreak of her inability to let go of her past experiences and her inability to gain true freedom and happiness.
3. Do real artists have freedom? I believe it is difficult. Miss Simone has said many times that in order to perform, she must sacrifice her freedom and happiness. When she truly released her emotions and talents on the stage, she had a few moments when she was Free, it's like poison, you know the price but you still have to get it. I followed Celion's footsteps and descriptions, trying hard to imagine how Simone, who likes a quiet scene, paced to the audience, how to talk, how to play the piano at a high speed and yet remain expressionless.
4. Friendship. Fortunately, Simone had friends who supported her in her career in her later years. From the guitarist to the bassist in the early years, from the music critic to the promoter, they all gave her a helping hand when she was in a small pub in Paris in her later years. Pulling back the public's attention and the stage, she seemed relieved to see that Miss Simone, who finally gained weight because of drugs, was more loving and less angry. She should be relieved that she received an honorary degree two days before her death.
This film crashed with Amy Winehouse back then. Although nominated, it still lost to Amy, who was more realistic and restored the truth behind the scenes. Both are famous jazz actors that I like very much. I like both films very much, so for fans who like them, come here That said, there is nothing more satisfying than this type of film.
Artists are all lonely. They dedicate themselves to more people, and they will inevitably lose their freedom, happiness, and purity, and these are all they sing in their songs.
