Chadwick Bosseman plays James Brown as he starts his career as part of a group, but quickly shines and shows his independence as he becomes the “hardest working man in show business” and “the King of Soul”.
Chadwick does a fantastic job of portraying a very difficult character to play. James Brown certainly lead a difficult life. Nothing was ever easy for him, mostly due to his own attitude. I was never a huge fan when I was younger, but as I got older, I began to appreciate the contributions James Brown made to rock and soul music and the quality of his talent. This was a really interesting biopic and I learned a lot about him watching this movie. In fact the movie was good enough that immediately after watching it I was on-line reading more about this interesting life. If you’re into biographies, or you’re into James Brown, this is a great chance to learn more about it. I can recommend this movie as one that was very interesting and quite enjoyable and educational to watch.
