6.5 What is fascinating is that the real deeds of Rodriguez have opened up the possibility of life here and the "visible parallel universe", life floating beyond reality; the cold fact that this music also makes me I like it very much, the story in the movie is not quite like such a cold enough fact. We didn't know him until the end, but all the tasks of "Finding Sugar Man" have been completed, and the audience can also accept all of this white and flawless idol, and then received rave reviews. You set yourself on fire after pouring gasoline on the stage, or shoot yourself in the head, or overdose in prison, or live a life forgotten by Americans in your Detroit home. Rodriguez lived two lives at the same time, the wagon turned into a pumpkin carriage and remained humble and calm, and all we finally learned was this story that sounded like a make-up. Comparing with Elvis Presley and MJ in South Africa, the fans who were interviewed continued to deify him. As one of the fans, the director also borrowed the donkey, but the audience was confused. There are rumors of self-immolation on stage in the music fandom, but the film does not explain why Rodriguez no longer releases an album; the daughter claims that her father may have made other people who sell pirated copies rich, but such assumptions have no details to prove in the end . Most importantly, the film doesn't dig into Rodriguez's true inner world, but only makes a fuss about his superficial image from the perspective of a cult following. After watching the film, all we know about him is what other people think he is - opinions from fans, from producers, from record store owners, from relatives and friends, but we still don't know what he thinks he is. The questions before him were simple and unpretentious, and he answered them with extreme restraint, so an image who chose poise in the face of world fame and wealth elsewhere was successfully created. They praised Rodriguez for "what he chose", but if there are no more details to prove his "why he chose so", it is open to question whether the indifferent spirit of fame and fortune that everyone is looking for can be established.
