, the pompadoured, electric-souled, jive-stepping visionary of funk who revolutionized the music world , and the first thing to say about Boseman’s acting is that you’re forced to reach for the quintessential biopic trope to describe it: In “Get on Up,” Boseman doesn’t just play James Brown — he channels him.He was a force of nature. No one looked like him, talked like him, or moved like him; his tightly wired delirium was a hurricane all its own.
The movie was a late-summer release , and it carved out $30 million at the box office, yet given Boseman’s standing today I now think of it as a bit of a lost film. “Get on Up” doesn’t have nearly the stature it deserves.
It would be hard to think of another movie that dramatized, this vibrantly, the complicated roots of African American popular music — how Brown was activated by the wildness of the passion he saw in church, by the power of sin, by the bliss of gospel, by the racial violence that surrounded him.
♥️”Get on Up‼️”
He was quite good in that film but unfortunately the movie was a dog that seemed to drag on forever? Hes also really good in 42!
