The movie "King of Soul Singer" I accidentally saw on the movie channel. From the beginning of the story, the hero's mother said something, "Be sure to remember your promise to me, and don't let anyone Treat you like a disability", I just knew I liked the movie, and that's how the story unfolded, so I just kept watching.
The protagonist of the story is Ray Charles Robinson. He is a black man and lived in a poor hometown since he was a child. He has a mother and a younger brother. The story mentions that his father has several wives, so he has no father in his life. In the story, people call him Ray affectionately. They may think that he is unique, or that he is talented. Whether it is a scout or a woman, they like and love him very much. This is a celebrity biography, I usually like to read biographies, because when we tell the life of this real person, we can learn some positive things from him more or less, let our hearts wider and wider.
Ray is blind. He has been blind since he was seven years old. His mother's love for him is reflected in his strictness. His mother is an important mentor in his life. His mother tells him that no one will be blind because you are blind. Pity you, and no one will help you, you can only rely on yourself. I think this sentence is very inspirational, but for a normal person like me, it may never be possible to understand the helplessness and fear in Ray's heart at that time, as well as his mother's worry about his future, and all the requirements and strictness of his mother towards him. I hope he will not be bullied by others because he is blind. Since childhood, his mother's words had a huge impact on his outlook on life and values, and it was also the principle of all his choices and behaviors. At one point when I watched the film I would forget that Ray was blind, he didn't need anyone to take care of him, he didn't need guidance to live a normal life, I would treat him like a normal person, maybe that's why he's successful, he's at this point , thanks to his mother, and because of this, he won the respect of the world and the attention of scouts, so that he later became a famous soul singer.
Ray is a ruthless lover of money. His path to pursue his dreams is not smooth, which can be seen from his background, but he has always adhered to his own point of view, he has better and greater development, and no one can stop me, Emotions will not be the reason to bind me. He has no nostalgia for the partners he has worked with before and the women who have had feelings during the tour. They seem to be his partners on the road to success. They are just partners. Everyone can make money together, but they have no feelings. So far, I think he's an asshole, how can he be so ruthless? ! But this just reflects his rationality, and successful people need rationality.
Ray is an extremely insecure person. When he was young, he witnessed his younger brother's death in childhood, which was unacceptable to him, because he was young, he did not save his younger brother, but just watched his younger brother struggle in the water until it was quiet. This made him suffer from a serious mental illness. Whenever he suddenly found himself in a place full of water, he would be extremely frightened and panic, anxious to find a life-saving straw. At this time, the life-saving straw he found was heroin. He got into drugs and took the road of drug addiction. This was an extremely dark period in his life, and even though it was dark, it did not affect his musical career reaching its peak.
The truest love that Ray can give a woman is to marry her. On a sunny day, he met the woman he loved the most in his life. The reason why this woman could touch his heart was that she truly heard herself in Ray's singing. So he loved her and always loved her. But even when the woman he loved asked him to quit drugs, he still refused. I think it's because he couldn't forgive himself in his heart and found the best way to escape.
In his life, the two most important women are his mother and his wife. The mother taught him to be strong, and the wife pulled him back from the abyss of drugs. Seeing this, I understand that human nature is not only a bright side, but also a dark side. Although we look at Ray's drug addiction with strange eyes, it is undeniable that he finally defeated the disease with his own willpower. Credit To his wife, and to himself.
This film was broadcast in 2004. In the same year, Ray left this world, and the world sent away the soul singer with sadness. When we examine whether the film is good or not, I think we should feel Ray's music more. Feel the beauty he left the world.
