I watched this last night and really thought they did justice to the music (seamless lip-synching by Chadwick Boseman) with a lot of re-created live performances (Live at the Apollo, Paris, Boston, VietNam) filmed (TAMI Show, Ski Party, Playboy After Dark) and to the complicated man. Not sure about the historical accuracy of band and other politics, but very enjoyable time-shifting bio-pic and another great performance by Boseman. If you're a James Brown fan, you'll enjoy it even more. For a historical context, read 'The HARDEST WORKING MAN IN SHOW BUSINESS' by James Sullivan (which I just read last week).
