It’s a real pity – we can’t see the movie until next spring in Japan – get on up! All I can do so far is to listen to the Original Soundtrack album, watching the official trailers, seeking and reading the reviews online, etc…
There have been some famous B/W films of The Godfather Of Soul James Brown here and there, although not complete, supposedly shot in Italy, 1971. And recently I found the complete version (as it was aired on TV at that time) circulating on the Internet. However, the recorded date of these films, as spread in the public, poses a question.
I wish I could have published this contents earlier, but unfortunately I didn’t have enough spare time to write it – i couldn’t feel relax and think of writing it either. Anyway, this video is definitely recommended for everyone who haven’t watched it yet . . . you should watch this video while you live in this present life.

Probably I have watched this over a hundred of times, but because of the heavy tension, energy and perfection the film contains, I still have not get bored of watching – instead, every time I watch, I cannot help shed tears of gratitude. I sincerely hope from my heart, that the official release of this video is available as soon as possible . . .
