Biopic, James Brown, Music, Drama
A fantastic journey through the life and career of the legendary James Brown. I enjoyed the interweaving narratives of Brown's childhood and pivotal moments in his career, the imaginative camerawork, and playful use of "asides" to the audience. You get a real sense of who James Brown was, how his upbringing and society during the 1930s and 1940s defined him, and why the many defense mechanisms he needed overpowered him in his later life. Great music, fun watch.
