Jeffrey Wright is my favorite actor. He bodies EVERY role. I love him as Muddy Waters.

[@BrianMax]

The thing I love about Jeffrey Wright is that he convincingly portrayed both Colin Powell and Muddy Waters while neither looking nor sounding like either one.

[@jasminehill6312]

My Grandmother had to explain the real life versions of everyone to me after we saw this movie. I completely understand why Etta James didn't like Beyonce's portrayal of her. Very cringy. I ❤️ your review!!!

[@StruggleReviewzTV]

Thank You❤️❤️❤️

[@spazarellapoet8735]

She didn't like it cause Beyonce got to sing her songs live in movie they didn't use Etta James version because they the artist didn't own the rights to the music their permission wasn't needed to do the movie. Meaning Etta James had no choice in what her likeness was used as story wise or who played her. It's a disrespectful practice using people likeness without paying them their worth but that's what happens when they sign shitty contracts giving the use of likeness.

[@jasminehill6312]

@@spazarellapoet8735 Agreed!

[@joshuamcdowell9745]

Etta wanted to whoop Beyonce's ass. Her words.

Jeffrey Wright is the Truth. He's the quintessential actor. 💐

[@happyclappy1805]

He is .He deserves much much more from Hollywood and way more flowers. Way more than the Will Smiths...

My great great grandfather went on tour with all of them! Doc Terry and the Pirates! Which made me watch the movie as a Jit. I know most of it was fabricated but to see what the black artists went through back then made me appreciate blues and rock and roll even more! Great video! ❤

[@katinagamble758]

The way I hollered with your impression of everyone lol 😆 😂 🤣

[@markhoffman2237]

There's a very good reason why much of this film was fictionalized. This director's job was to get 12 or so major characters on and offscreen in two hours and tell their stories as much as she could in that compressed time. Given those limitations, she had to have a story line that included all those characters. To have that story line, she simply had to fictionalize some things about these characters because life is messy, but a movie can't be or you'll stop watching. So I don't blame director Darnell Martin for fictionalizing some aspects of this story. She had to. It's drama, not non-fiction. Like all good fiction, "Cadillac Records" was true to the real-life people without being fully accurate. Shakespeare fictionalized stories, too. You think "Romeo and Juliet" or "Hamlet" were true-to-life? If you want non-fiction, read something like "Moanin' at Midnight: The Life and Times of Howlin' Wolf," which I cowrote and which Eamonn Walker used to develop the Howlin' Wolf character in this film. His portrait of Wolf was very good but one-dimensional because the script didn't demand more of him. He had no time in the film to develop a fully rounded character. For example, he missed Wolf's comic side because that wasn't in the script. That wasn't his or the director's fault. This film wasn't just about Wolf. It was about 12 people associated with Chess Records.

[@dee8171]

I think Jeffrey Wright and Cliff Curtis( training day) can play just about any race. Lol

[@BrogiNaric]

Your Beyonce impressions are spot on!🤣🤣🤣

[@SpeakinThaTruth69]

It's kinda refreshing to hear that a lot of this movie was Hollywood revisionist fiction because now I feel even better about going back and watching this movie as a comedy considering the amount of laughs my stepbrothers and I got from this movie...between this and Ray you'd think we were watching full blown comedies from another room🤣

[@StruggleReviewzTV]

Not Ray too! 🤣

[@spazarellapoet8735]

Ray was epic...y'all tripping it's crazy how people interpret things way different from 1 another. Jamie Foxx was Ray and he was trained by Ray on set he even had his eyes glued shut so he was actually blind shooting scenes. Put some Respek on it Ray is amazing.

[@spazarellapoet8735]

Stevie wonder need a biopic

[@divinedelaware7541]

Jeffrey Wright is that guy. Very versatile. HBO holds him hostage. That's why he ain't get that oscar role. He'll get one eventually. Don't know if he got Emmys, but all them HBO movies he has too

[@tonit336]

Great review, the film was ok, the acting was ok, When I finished watching the film I just wanted to listen to Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, Etta James and everyone else that was signed to Chess records

[@coreyano]

The lil Walter song montage and the Beyonce song where chess drives off are burned in my mind. I really loved those 2 scenes and the whole movie. As far as dramatized non fiction... Fake biopics something you gotta deal with.

[@kenrogers672]

Great review. I hope people check out the blues more often. A lot great and true music was created before our time. Like Big Bill Broonzy's "Get Back" song.

Your premiere chats are always a good time, but I was hollering all through this one! So much fun! I love musical biopics, but this one never appealed to me. It genuinely felt like I was being sold a "version" of the history as opposed to actual history. I do appreciate the soundtrack, though. Some wonderful covers and bops on there! Appreciate your breakdowns as always, ma'am! 5K, here we come!!! 👏👏👏

[@spazarellapoet8735]

Ray the best biopic of the last 20+ years .. then the temptations movie and the #1 the Jackson American dream they represent black excellence black American royalty 7 out of 9 children in the rock and roll hall of Fame , countless ground breaking records from the brothers and Janet Jackson they deserve way more honor than the media and public gives them every body celebrates Oprah , Michael Jordan, Dr Dre.. Kanye and the other black billionaires yet Michael Jackson was the billionaire way before them was more charitable than them, more known / popular internationally before them..he was the man in many ways.

Their is a chess records museum in Chicago so that part were it got destroyed is inaccurate

[@BrianMax]

Eamonn Walker just smouldered as Howlin' Wolf. And yeah, Jeffrey Wright is up there with Gary Oldman, Meryl Streep, Giancarlo Esposito. The thing I love about Jeffrey Wright is that he convincingly portrayed both Colin Powell and Muddy Waters while neither looking nor sounding like either one.

And you know THE REAL problem with the movie...it should have been a mini series. Maybe two 12 episode seasons. Because they couldnt cover everybody

Who do You Love is available on KZbin in several extremely low res parts. It’s a weird companion to Cadillac, Bo appears but there’s no Chuck, Phil is in it and Leonard is portrayed like one of the Sopranos.

This came out after dream girls I honestly feel like this should have been the Beyonce Oscar award winning performance Etta James was a talented soulful complex individual and I felt this was the 1 roll Beyonce put her all into and truly acted was submersed in it ...totally sad cried at the end even though he wasn't paying them right pacifying them with cars and cheated on his wife with Etta it was hella sad to leave his company and die before he got up street.

Beyonce can sing no doubt, but her voice is absolutely not the same as Etta James & it didn't seem as if she was even going for that. It was Beyonce singing Etta James songs straight up.

sorry not sorry but She Who Shall Not Be Named can't act her way out of a wet paper bag, a prison tunnel or an old fashioned wading pool from Toy's R Us! Not to mention, Gabrielle "I play the same character but change clothes in every movie" Union. I would have rather seen Kim"Tootie" Fields, Thandiwe Newton, or hell, even LisaRaye in the Etta role and either Aunjanue Ellis, Kimberly Elise or Nia Long in the Geneva role. It was a good story tho and i would have like to seen more about the Muddy, Wolf and Walter characters too. That yella gal know she always be messing up the groove of a good story with her wacktastic acting non-skills.
