No One Perfect

When I was a child, I watched an episode of "Growing Pains". The Jason and his wife took Ben to see his favorite star's performance. In the background, he encountered an unsightly scene of the star, leaving a shadow. Jason enlightened the book, You can't expect perfection in everything, after all his songs are great, and Ben enjoyed the show very happily.

Ray is also such a person, he is diligent, he takes drugs, and he is sometimes heartless.
However, that didn't stop him from being a great musician, and it didn't stop him from standing up for racist policies.

No one is a saint, no one is perfect.

We're not condoning ugliness, Ray is paying the price for what he did, and he must go to jail for breaking the law.
It's just how we look at a person objectively, whether to generalize or categorize them?

Can we judge him this way, being on drugs is ugly, playing with women is irresponsible, but Ray, your song is so good!

    【Exhibition at China Film Archive】Film version. Very moving biopics and music films. Lei is a musical genius, but he is not perfect. He has sowed love everywhere, used drugs for a long time, and had a rough childhood. However, the movie allows the audience to hit Lei's weakness and shadow directly, making the characters more three-dimensional and deep, and the audience is more touched. The memory part was particularly touching, which made me cry. The movie’s music is superb, and Jamie Fox’s performance is worthy of the Oscar actor

    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.
