Watching this movie after you already know a little bit, you still gain a lot of new content. As a biography, it is flat and straightforward, without very ups and downs, but I still burst into tears when I saw it at the end. The whole film actually tells the story from the perspective of WILLIE DIXON. In the 1940s, muddy waters heard his own voice on the record and planned to go out and make a breakthrough. He met little Walter, who had superb harmonica skills, and another guitarist (? what) formed a band. LEONARD CHESS was originally a bar owner. He decided to open a recording studio by chance and recruited muddy and others, which is the chess record company (the first time I heard of it! It made up the knowledge gap!) and subsequently recruited Howling Wolf and Chuck Berry. , Etta James et al. Made a lot of money off of them hahaha. Then there is another ending where the Rolling Stones came to the record company to name their band, and said that they were influenced a lot by muddy, so they took his song name as the band name (I doubt they have been there), but they looked stunned at the time. , became popular in the UK, and then began to reminisce about the impact of getting started, and then dug up muddy, even though their songs had never been popular in another country. Still quite impressive. The great thing about chess is that it brought the blues into the public eye, but it broke the boundaries between black and white, reused black singers, and their music also promoted the breaking of racial segregation. There are also some very subtle, such as several major topics that cannot be avoided after becoming famous: money, sex, drugs. . . It seems that music is inseparable from these words after that. It really fills the gap from blues to rock, and I also fill a lot of gaps, not bad.

    The music is very nice~ I like the leading role, and the plot is also good. Although it is not a big ups and downs, it is still touching
