Get
on up review
I have never known a lot about James Brown, so for me, the idea of watch a movie about him and his life didn’t make me high expectative. But as soon I watched the video about his particular dances and captivating music, I got a little bit more interested in the idea to know more about him.
The beginning of the movie was
immediately catching, it wasn’t like the majority of the movies, and I could
see the power that the movie had from the first scene. Then I realized that the
movie wasn’t in a chronological order, I liked it, I think that this characteristic
makes the movies more interesting and a little bit harder to follow the plot,
but also, for me it was a disadvantage. Sometimes I got lost and I didn’t
understand very well, because the changes on the periods of his life were so
suddenly and in parts it was difficult for me to understand. Also the characters
speak in a particular accent, so was obligated to read the subtitles to
understand what they were saying.
About the movie in general, the
only thing I can say is “fantastic”, it was so captivating that I kept my eyes
on the movie all the time, I didn’t want to miss a second, even when was
difficult for me to follow for the language. Also, when I even didn’t know a
lot about him, I could felt his happiness and pain. I don’t know if all the
things that appeared in the movie were real, but in my opinion everything were
consistent. Everything were very well interpreted, for example, when they were
playing instruments and singing, they transmitted a powerful energy, that I think,
all of us wanted to dance or felt an emotion of happiness.
I must emphasize in the great job
that Chadwick Boseman (James Brown in the movie) did, his interpretation was
extraordinary, it was like see the real James Brown, and in general the
interpretation of all the cast was very good.
It was a movie that I didn’t
expected to enjoy as I did.
If you have the opportunity to see
it, just do it!
