The reason for saying that life is a drama is probably to describe a film documentary like "Looking for Sugar Man" that is more dramatic than a feature film.
The filming of "Finding Sugar Man" began in 2006. After the Swedish director Malik Bendjelloul had accumulated enough experience in television, he resigned and went to Africa to find the subject of the film. Then he started the filming of "Finding Sugar Man" in South Africa. Shooting plan. Pat, pat, three years later, Malik can be said to be completely bankrupt, but this difficult situation made him have to do and have to complete a task, and this is another three years of hard times. , Fortunately, he met SMION, the producer of a super documentary, and helped him a lot. Six years later, in 2012, "Looking for Sugar Man" has attracted worldwide attention since the Sundance Film Festival, and the protagonist in the film, SIXTO RODRIGUEZ, also turned over and became the most legendary since BOB. rock singer.
In addition to cutting into the background of Detroit city and taking the audience to think about how the protagonist was raised and brought up by Detroit, "Looking for Sugar Man" is also very opinionated in laying out and editing, and has been carefully arranged. A good show (although it is obviously a documentary), allows the audience to realize the whole picture of the whole story like eating sugar cane, and it is full of dramatic tension.
Of course, the musical energy of the protagonist SIXTO RODRIGUEZ is definitely the biggest theme that cannot be missed: only two albums were released in the 1970s, and they were not popular in the United States, so the record company terminated his contract with him. However, his albums sold well in South Africa. During the politically sensitive period of apartheid in South Africa, not only did Ingrid write poems to stand on the same side as South Africans, but also the music of SIXTO RODRIGUEZ in the United States, who unintentionally became South Africans The spiritual nourishment has even become a classic. But it wasn't until 1998 that the U.S. side knew about it, thirty years had passed. And during the less than one and a half hours of "Finding Sugar Man", you will be able to enjoy Roriguez's beautiful music.
"Looking for Sugar Man" has a lot of great parts worth discussing, in addition to the director's persistence and paranoia, the fans' loyalty and love, and the first half of the protagonist SIXTO RODRIGUEZ's neglected creative talent and the second half of his life, and even It was his victorious life in South Africa that seemed to be in a parallel time and space, and it was like a butterfly effect for 30 years without realizing it. And SIXTO RODRIGUEZ's way of surviving in the real time and space, although he can't be a music artist, he seems to be a real living artist and philosopher.
Thirty years of jet lag to fame, forty years of audience waiting, in "Finding Sugar Man", we can foresee the sweet yearning of a lifetime, that longing is so close to us that it seems that anyone can achieve it: young Try to realize your ideals from time to time, work and live hard when you start a family, and give your children a broad vision as an asset. As for other unpredictable things, who knows? Maybe some of our actions have completely affected another world.
