[@treyoftriphorya]

Latrell Hassell you have to remember these directors and film studios have the final say in what they think will work. From a standpoint in not knowing anything about him you’d say it’s a great story but from the view of those who began to know about him they find it to be in poor taste. Look at all of the movies based on the true events. They leave a great deal of the story out to sell a film to a crowd that knew not much of the story.

[@warnerbrotherproductions2112]

Andy Duarte I think we all understand that Andy. And it would not have been poor taste to anyone to stitch that fact in the movie of the sickle cell amenia Paul was suffering with. Literally this movie was perfect in my book except for leaving that fact out. They included Blues medical problems. Why not Paul's. It's still a great story either way but they are leaving out a vital truth that affects our understanding of him.

@@user-ke4bk8fl1p Paul had sickle cell. And anybody who knows anything of it; knows its a serverly painful disease. He had it controled before touring but the long trips and plane rides reeked havic on his body and their was no medicine to treat it then. So be began to use alcohol to dull the pain. His sickle cell was only getting worse as he got older which made him drink more and more. It deterioates your joints and starves organs of blood. So eventually it destroyed the one thing that made him happy....sing and dancing. I felt sorry to hear this and it made sense why he took his life. The pain on top of debt and losing the group and later on his wife leaving him....its no wonder. I hate that the movie left that out....

The movie made Paul to be an alcoholic because of depression, but that was only part of it. Paul's alcoholism was caused more or so of the fact that he had Sickle-Cell Anemia and it was taking it's toll around the late 60's early 70's. The only way he could just manage the pain and depression was with hard liquor and it just started overwhelming him.
