Reviews:

Very dark & fictionalized story, but it serves its purpose
Wow, I’ve never seen a biopic take such liberties with facts… to the point that the film even invents a murder that never happened. But in all fairness, so did “Amadeus”.

The point of the film, however, is not to present facts but to foster interest. That much is said in the director’s commentary: she says that if people become interested to learn more about these (and other) classic artists, then the film has done its job.

Then by all means, it succeeded. The names of Muddy Waters, Etta James, Little Walter & Howlin Wolf have always been a footnote to the general public (including myself). But now I’ll definitely take notice.

If you’re already a blues aficianado, then I doubt you’ll care much for this film. But if you’re part of the target audience–those who are not familiar with the origin of rock’n’roll or who think erroneously (as I did) that Elvis was the one who started it all–then this movie is worth a watch.

I’ll give you one warning. It gets ugly. This is NOT a film to be showcased during Black History Month! It portrays many of these artists at their worst: drug-addicted, alcoholic, violent, sex-crazed, uneducated, selfish and perpetually angry. The film has a very cynical, malicious vibe. But I think this was done with a specific intent; the director seemed to be making a strong metaphor to today’s gangsta rap, probably with the hopes of reaching a young generation that never appreciated blues & rock’n’roll. I thought that was an interesting angle, though it must offend many blues purists.

So there you have it… Don’t expect facts. Don’t expect history. Don’t expect many feel-good moments. Instead expect a very stylish drama about the Chicago ‘hood with a lot of sex, drugs & rock’n’roll. I know it sounds like I’m disparaging the movie, but I’m not. I really thought it was an interesting presentation.

Another okay movie from Hollywood
I guess I just have to face it Hollywood is devoid of good dialog writers and writers in general. Cadillac Records should have been Dreamgirls for the Blues, but the dialog was much too weak to support the tremendous talent that was on the scene. Though the music was nice it was the stories of the principals that should have shined but all they seemed to be able to do was curse and give off quick one liners. My husband forgot about the movie an hour after we left the theater; a sure sign of its weakness. I don’t blame Beyonnce, I can understand her not wanting to wait for Hollywood to give out good Black Female roles. I also feel sorry for the likes of Gabrielle Union (also Angela Bassett who I saw in a trailer for another ridiculous movie tragedy). These women deserve better and so do the other great music geniuses of Chess Records. 6/10
