The memory segment at the beginning of this film seems to make it difficult to agree with the high scores of this film.

But the protagonist's young experience, blindness, and appearance with classic blues music caught people's heartstrings.

There is no doubt that biographical films use time as a clue, but it is really difficult to explain the character and background of the characters with memory clips. If you are watching and cooking while you are watching, I believe you will not be able to understand the taste.

Especially when you don’t know that Charles was the greatest artist in the world from the 1960s to the 20th century, it’s more preaching and inspirational to watch this work. But in fact, the protagonist itself is not a role model in the "mainstream sense."

Negative problems such as drug abuse, promiscuity, profiteering, etc., have all appeared in the king of singers. However, this is also mixed with the protagonist's early judgment due to a mistake in his childhood, and the guilt of his brother's life is intertwined with each other. But the reason why it is said to be an inspirational work is that Charles is the hero of justice in terms of race and human rights. At this point, the audience should grasp it well.

If you say, let me advance the classic lines of this film, it is better to experience the jazz songs of the whole film, after all, "It is these enduring sound quality that affect our souls, singing the natural sound quality of life"! (Zhen Jie)

    The so-called doors and windows of God may just be self-redemption in exchange for anger in the blood and torture, unwilling to admit defeat. The characters are full.
