Today's film viewing training I chose this: What Happened, Miss Simone? First compare this film to Amy Winehouse, I just want to say, the latter is actually quite pale. The director should have tried his best, but Amy is too pale, I can only say that, Amy is an angry and promiscuous alcoholic young woman, unable to manage her violent emotions, easily influenced by the media and money, relying on emotions Do things, live by emotions, even if she doesn't die, how far can "talent" support her? But Simone is different. This documentary is actually quite conservative. You can also clearly feel the director's intentions, and the director is hiding her clumsiness for her. I heard that Simone's daughter also participated in the production. The specific situation is unknown, but the film does show consideration for Simone everywhere.

Why say "I'm sorry". When I said "I'm sorry", I wanted to hug her across the screen: Simone, you are such a child... There is no shortage of classical pianists in this world, why do you torture yourself like this? But she is worthy of the torture, This torture made her. This kind of obsession, like a drug, accompanies it for life, it burns as soon as it is inhaled, the motivation is boundless, and the reputation is mixed. The second heartbreaker: Simone appeared in a bar in Paris in her later years in order to survive, wearing a horrible three-point costume, and in the narration, she said "
