There are still Chadwick Boseman fans who have never seen the late actor’s finest performance — as James Brown, in all his raspy cunning and funk ecstasy.
How does anyone play James Brown? How do you inhabit those moves, that gruffer-than-life personality?
Tate Taylor’s movie has a vibrant authenticity–it stay close to the saga of how Brown created his own version of rock ‘n’ roll, with stage moves that would mark him as one of a kind artist.
Yet the Brown we see is also a scalded soul, proud and merciless.
With every performance, he’s showing his pain, and Boseman is uncompromising in depicting it.
