These are Leonard's words to persuade etta, and use Muddy Walters and little Walter as an example: muddy sings sad songs, but he will not live in sadness; little Walter brings the anger and accusation in music to life, arrogantly Crash in the east and west, with blood on the head.
Leonard is a Bole who understands music and a talented businessman at the same time. He knows the difference between art and reality better than anyone else.
He has feelings for Etta and doesn't want her to follow in the footsteps of little Walter and spoil his musical talent.
But for some artists, it is the anger towards the times, the anger towards the reality, the desolate attitude towards life and the deep doubts about existence. It is these negative and negative things that go against the mainstream values. Only shaped the soul of his/her creation. When these things don't exist, his/her art doesn't exist either.
Little Walter's musical genius is driven by arrogance and anger. When he heard the news of his mother's death, his heart was occupied by sadness, "can't find my shit", relying on alcohol, relying on a sense of competition, let him regain anger.
The pinnacle of Eminem's music creation is the years before fame living in a trailer, filled with revolt, accusation, and resentment. After he became famous, the things he scolded did not exist anymore. It's like a hard punch, hitting the cotton, and the fist doesn't feel anything.
For the pure artist, art and life are indistinguishable from each other. Just like the blues brothers in another movie "Fu Lu Shuang Batian" recommended by the harmonica teacher, they have been wearing the costumes of performances in daily life.
For some craftsmen and artists, art is art and life is life.
For art lovers and those who rely on art for a living, life should be greater than art.
Art requires "do whatever you want", while life requires "not breaking the rules". Those who combine the two very well are the kind of people that Confucius called "do whatever you want without breaking the rules".
To maximize the preservation of the soul of artistic creation, while extending the time of artistic career.
