Ma Rainey's Black Bottom

Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom is filled to the brim is captivating performances and electricity between the cast that makes the film so captivating. Having only seen one adaptation of an August Wilson play, which was Fences, it’s very exciting to get to experience more of his work, even if it’s played out differently than intended. There’s some incredible writing here, and I can’t say that it is close to the source material, but I’d hope so, since Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom is one of his more well-known plays. It’s sad to see Boseman, knowing that this is his final feature, but he gave one hell of a performance. Viola Davis is another standout, it seems that her and Wilson’s work go hand-in-hand, since this is the second film adaptation that she’s been in, and I know she’s played these roles live as well. These actors had great source material to draw from, so it’s not surprise that the performances are as strong as they are. I’d love to get the chance to experience this live, and I certainly will have to get my hands on a copy of the play, since I really was blown away. Having seen Giving Voice and seeing the impact that Wilson has had on not only the African American community, but the theatre community, I really do need to get into his work and experience it for myself.

Chadwick stole the show. RIP Chadwick, he gave the best in this film and I'm so sad to see we no longer have him in this world for his art.

Ma Rainey's Black Bottom

me deu uma sensação de série, com bastantes cenas que impactantes e que teriam sido mais aproveitadas em uma série, mas eu gostei do jeito que foi trabalhado gostei muito da atuação com bastante emoção e intensidade da viola davis e do chadwick. como um amante de jazz e blues, não consigo nao gostar da produção e desse tipo de backstage das gravações
