James Brown - Get On Up Movie
- Thread starter Complex
- Start date
Im struggling with the amount of whites in executive and controlling roles but I do want to support it. I saw Mick Jagger, Dan Akroyd, and the director but haven't seen any of James' peers or black faces behind the cameras on this project.Is anyone going to see it
I know it's not a black movie, but it's about one of the greatest black entertainers and has a mostly black cast
I feel good
I thought he did a decent job with the voice from the clips I saw.
Does it cover from childhood to death?Why watch a BS biopic from the director of The Helpwhen you can watch the American Masters PBS documentary on James Brown? Fuck that movie.
link?
Going to see it out of G.P.
Ya'll don't support it might
affect other Black Stars Bio Movies

Niggas are free ta' do what they wish w/da money they earned. If folks go see it, they do, if they don't, they don't. Yeen got no control over that.
I'm going to see it and I really don't give a fuck how anybody else here feels about that.
Im highly disappointed...
Fuck the director and fuck the people who stood behind it....
SORRY ASS CLOWNS MAN... ITS A FUCKING BROADWAY PLAY ON A SCREEN.....
PURE BULLSHIT... DIDNT TOUCH ON THE FACT HE COULD SEPARATE EACH BAND SECTION AND HEAR IF ONE WENT OFF BEAT ALL WHILE SINGING AT THE SAME TIME...

There are certain scenes they fucked up on purpose just to save white folks feelings and take his nuts away at the same time
So don't so see it, like somebody gives a shit...

Besides that fuck James brown right !!! After all he sang at Nixon inauguration..
board has a bunch of make believe revolutionaries.
I love James Brown but I have issue with CACs telling our stories. When Spike Lee makes the Anne Frank story maybe I can relax. From the people who brought you "The Help"
When BGOL drops the screener I'll watch it....

Watching it now. 34 minutes in. Thanks!
maybe its fucked up that cacs are the ones that thought his story was worth telling and on the big screen and not a lifetime movie.
I went to see it this afternoon....
You can knock the strip,the producers or the director,but....
The acting,choreography and music was great...which was why I went to see it.
Having grown up on James Brown,if Boseman had done a bad impression of him it would have been comical.
But Boseman,guess he straight up morph into a character.

You should read why Jagger got involved. We can be mad at whites for stepping in, but when rich blacks won't, why don't we blame them?
