His heart couldn't get rid of the fear and guilt of childhood, so he relied on drugs to numb himself and escape from fear. He loves his wife and family deeply, but he also needs to find inspiration and energy from other women from time to time. He looks like a layman in the business field, but key business opportunities are dealt with one by one. When he realized the harm of drugs to himself, he got rid of the drugs with extraordinary perseverance and completed a brilliant life.

Jimmy Fox's acting skills are superb, the demeanor of a blind man, the body language is in place, and the state of devotion when singing is super charming. The structure of the film is also perfect. The alternate review allows the audience to follow the protagonist's growth journey, such as penetrating into the protagonist's inner world, breathing with the character, growing together, cheering together, and sorrowing together. The director has great skill.
Intoxicating R&B, god-like soul singer, this film is worthy of the Oscar's statuette.
