    Saying she was born in the wrong age, in fact her self seems to be the mark of that age. She could be the first black classical pianist, and life didn't come true; she could be a best-selling jazz player, and she could be an angry youth; she could be a civil rights fighter, but she went astray and lost herself; She has always been looking for her own destination, and has always been self-identified. Even if she ran to Africa, it was only a temporary indulgence. The...

    3.5. The finish was a bit rushed; the civil rights movement would have been solid with a little more ink, such as negative attitude changes. In fact, interviews or data comparisons of singers of the same period can also be included. There is no old talk of drug addiction, alcoholism and exploitation, but there is a wayward life variation of Shi Tai Shuai, who rejects pretentious falsehoods. Studied Baja classical music. Love for France. Alienation from...

    The genius was born in the wrong era, and had to fight for her rights, almost wasting her talent, and she became an angry artist. Maybe she was born in the right era, and as she said, she would become the number one in the world A black classic pianist. Personally, I don’t like the material arrangement, but the completion of the film is still very high, basically completing what the director wants to express, and the songs in the film are really...

    as a documentary it's just ok. to the posed question of 'what happened' it seems that the director doesn't really have a good answer other than 'a lot happened'. but seeing Simone's Montreux 1976 performance of Stars is so much more powerful than just listening to it. all the suffering and struggle behind that facade - really hits...

    Seeing the hesitation in the eyes of the young man with the sign "you better kill all blacks" hanging in the crowd of demonstrators after King was killed. They say they will get their right only if a black-only kingdom is established. I don't blame this idea, although it will never be possible. Like the hesitation in the eyes of young...

    Will you be really happy? Miss Simone

    I don't know how many people shed tears from the second half of the movie when she went from Africa to the performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1976. Every time she came to this scene where she was almost indifferent and sad, she suddenly turned to the scene. A female fan who stood up...

    Bullshit about black music (blues, R&B, jazz, etc.)

    Write random things about music. Simone's ideas, private life, etc., do not want to discuss. The brains of such musicians are not much better than ordinary people in other aspects.

    Blues: The literal translation is "Blues", and the transliteration is "Blues". Transliteration/free translation,...

  • Nina Simone: We will shape and mold this country or it will not be molded and shaped at all anymore. So I think we don't have a choice. How can you be an artist and not reflect the times?
