little idea

Fortunately, I liked Lei's song first, and then watched the movie. Otherwise I would never have liked him as much as I do now.

Sorry seems to be the hardest word is my favorite song in Lei's songs. When his line What do I got to do to make you love me came out, I don't know how many people's hearts were captured. His voice was full of stories, like an old man slowly telling a love story, his heart was broken, and he told all his sorrows.

In the film, Lei left his mother alone, went into the world alone, and embarked on the road of music with his love for music. He was cheated, wandered, and finally gained recognition with a good piano and a good voice. In order to gain the approval of others, I imitated others, and finally found my own direction. He had inflated, found a lover, and was addicted to drug use. He did not fall down on these things that successful people often did during the inflated period. He almost ruined his life because of it. With the help of his wife, he saved his life in time.

When it comes to Lei alone, I have no good feelings at all. First, I betrayed my promise to my mother, then I felt sorry for my wife and children, and I almost ruined my life because of drug addiction. But I have to admit that Ray is a genius, he ingeniously combined gospel and jazz to create his own unique style. He has foresight and daring to try new things several times, constantly changing the style of music, betting new things in his own music, and always maintaining innovation. His fusion of gospel and jazz, including several subsequent changes in musical style, all encountered initial opposition, but he insisted on his own opinion, boldly changed, and persuaded the audience with his voice. He leads the music trend with his strength and captures the hearts of people with his voice full of stories.

I think Ray's mother is great. Living in the southern United States, she was oppressed by racial discrimination and suffered the loss of not receiving an education, so even if she was reluctant, she was still trying hard to treat Lei and force Lei to grow up. It can be said that without his mother's education to Lei in his early years, there would be no later Lei. "Don't let anyone or anything turn you into a lame and cripple." This sentence from my mother is the biggest motivation for supporting Lei over the years.

This documentary, which is attached to Lei's real experience, has nothing to do with it except to tell the story of Lei's legendary life. A good movie must have content and form. The form of this film is flawed, but the content There is nothing interesting about the expression.

    The best music biopic I've ever seen, not only is the male lead Ray Charles possessed. Take notes while watching. Make clear the relationship between personal life and each step in music. That's also because it's Ray, there are not so many artists who have pioneered music development, so they have to shoot private life. . .

    Milt Shaw: Terrific.
