The movie Get On Up contains a vivid setting,
strong characterization, and a reverse chronology, replete with flashbacks. The
image of James Brown, the bold and brilliant entertainer who was also an abandoned and
heartbroken boy, is like a haunting metaphor. Perhaps I’m waxing too profound, yet
I think that James Brown’s music legacy deserves no less.
Also, the lead actor, Chadwick Boseman, plays the role of James Brown
excellently. He seems to transform himself into the persona of the "Godfather of Soul." The list of supporting actors is star-studded, with Viola
Davis, Octavia Spencer, Jill Scott, and Tika Sumpter, to name a few.
