Showed James Brown's faults and successes
Get On Up was a biographical film about James Brown featuring Chadwick Boseman in the lead. What was good about the movie besides the music was that it included the many problems Brown had in his life instead of just whitewashing everything.<br /><br />The opening scene in fact shows how far Brown had fallen later in life. He does some drugs, jumps into his truck, crashes a meeting that was using his building with a shotgun because a woman used his bathroom, and gets into a high speed chase with the police. Some of Brown’s other problems included were being a dictator to his band which at one point led to almost all of them quitting and being an abusive husband. His ego also cost him the one close friend he had Bobby Byrd who he originally started making music with.<br /><br />Get On Up was also different from other musical biographies like Ray, Rocketman and Bohemian Rhapsody. Those movies followed a formula of picking the biggest songs from the artists and building a story around them. Get On Up had performances, but the music was blasting in the background of almost every scene as well like the first one that used “Get Up Offa That Thing.” It was not told in chronological order either going back and forth in history. It also had imagined parts such as when Brown was a little kid and he envisioned a Jazz band suddenly playing one of his songs to inspire him. There were moments when Brown talked directly into the camera to explain himself such as his business genius when he cut out the middleman and decided to promote his own concerts, which meant more money in his pocket. That added a lot of variety to the story.<br /><br />Third, the film included a lot of the struggles that Brown went through. He grew up dirt poor, his mother and father split, which eventually led him to live with his aunt Susie (Viola Davis) who ran a whorehouse. He spent time in prison. He constantly had to deal with the music business and wider American society which was run by whites. That meant he was constantly competing with the newest white bands like the Rolling Stones who were touted as the hottest thing. He had to deal with white run record labels that tried to shape his career like telling his first band The Famous Flames they weren’t needed.<br /><br />Last, it showed how important Brown was to the black community. He went to Vietnam and played to a unit that was majority black. He played in Boston after Dr. Martin Luther King’s assassination which prevent riots in that city. He wrote “Say It Loud, I’m Black And I’m Proud.” He believed in black owned businesses like the ones he created.<br /><br />If you like James Brown and never knew about his backstory this was a fine introduction. It was entertaining, it was real with his faults, and you could get down with the music.<br />C
