The true life story of Ralph Waldo "Petey" Greene Jr. In the mid-to-late 1960s, in Washington, D.C., vibrant soul music and exploding social consciousness were combining to unique and powerful effect. It was the place and time for Petey to fully express himself - sometimes to outrageous effect - and "tell it like it is." With the support of his irrepressible and tempestuous girlfriend Vernell, the newly minted ex-con talks his way into an on-air radio gig. He forges a friendship and a partnership with fellow prison inmate Milo's brother Dewey Hughes. From the first wild morning on the air, Petey relies on the more straight-laced Dewey to run interference at WOL-AM, where Dewey is the program director. At the station, Petey becomes an iconic radio personality, surpassing even the established popularity of his fellow disc jockeys, Nighthawk and Sunny Jim. Combining biting humor with social commentary, Petey openly courts controversy for station owner E.G. Sonderling. Petey was determined to make not just himself but his community heard during an exciting and turbulent period in American history. As Petey's voice, humor, and spirit surge across the airwaves with the vitality of the era, listeners tune in to hear not only incredible music but also a man speaking directly to them about race and power in America like few people ever have. Through the years, Petey's "The truth just is" style --- on - and off-air - would redefine both Petey and Dewey, and empower each to become the man he would most like to be.
拍得有点平淡,两个角色好像一直不能很平衡,结尾的情绪流露还挺感人的。切瓦特夸张地表达焦虑绝望时比较可爱,最后有几个角度会联想起陛下。
见识过黑人的能说会道和柔软身体,很希望天朝也能出这样一位DJ
让他以电台DJ的身份“实话实说”,充分表达自己的愤慨,为受到不公正待遇的黑人社区带来了勇气和鼓舞。
我们说不了真话 源于我们的贪婪 源于我们的懦弱
衡量一个人的价值,不是看他在顺境中的所做所为,而是看他在逆境中的所做所为。
好片
整体还不错
真爱一个演员,就会去看他的所有电影,费尽心机找到,果然没让我失望,黑人腔调真爱听,马丁路德金死的时候,站了出来
电影其实比较三俗。但是全程没看过时间条,虽然创意不足虽然一看开头就会猜中结尾,不过还是胜在剧情精彩连贯,节奏把控很好,还挺感人。很对胃口的一部电影
很久之前看的 但我记得连着看了两遍 年轻的时候真幸福 随手就能抓到好片
不错的传记片,两个演员太出色,配乐也好
good movie

"quit trying to change me" 主角Petey的魅力就在于true to himself and true to people
