Get On Up! review - by Gonzalo "Chewie" Vega.






The biopic of James Brown, certainly a nice movie to watch only if you are a big fan of this artist, and just for that reason.

I think that some aspects of the James brown life as a person were lost, probably because they wanted to get James brown as a person who fight against his past and terrible life. One special mention to the actor Chadwick Boseman, that makes a great job, he really represents the style of James Brown and his famous dance, but as I said, the movie itself hide some darker aspects of the artist, even when the movie make you think and link events meanwhile jumps back and forth all the time the contrast of events inside the movie shows up more good than bad things about his life, I think that the movie was lacking of realism on some parts, what am I referring with realism is that the reality of that times on southern United States was more terrible than the movie shows there.


Now I tell you again, watch this movie ONLY! If you REALLY! Like the artist because if you don’t maybe you will just enjoy the environment and the songs that you “heard somewhere before” that is my opinion if you agree or disagree with me, tell me on the comments bellow.

Have a good funky day~
