Movie Thoughts: Cadillac Records
Usually everynight i watch a different movie, it might be a movie i've see before, or it might be a movie im seeing for the first time.
Tonight it was Cadillac Records, which is a moive i went to see in the theaters. This movie is based on the true story of chess records and it's artists, the ones the made a big impact on the record company.
The movie came out in 2008.
The main artist that get the focous are Muddy Waters, Little Waltet,Chuck Berry, Etta James, and Howlin' Wolf.
All of this artist in different ways had problems. But the also made a diffence in music, the changed the way people listened to music.
I absolutley love this movie. The music, the plot, the real life characters, i love everything about this movie. If you haven't seen it, you must be living under a rock!
Its a must see, go pick up a copy on dvd! it is well worth the money :)
i do have to warn you, this movie is NOT for young children. This is rated R, for some sexual content reasons nd some lanuguage content reasons.But that's what makes it such a real, true story type of movie.
here are some quotes from the movie:
Etta James-played by Beyonce- "don't be lookin at me like I aint got no draws on"
Muddy Waters-played by Jeffrey Wright -"you alright, damn!"
Little Walter-played by Columbus Short-"yeah, i had no right being that pretty
I pretty much said all of this to say: if you haven't seen the moive.. go watch it and learn something about these great blues and rock n roll artists.
-Peace and love
