Classic film, and a worthwhile dramatization of the foremost saxophone genius of all time, albeit with inaccuracies and overacting, as you might expect from this type of film. To get a glimpse of the real 'Bird', seek out the footage available, especially when he received an award alongside Dizzy, before playing 'Hot House'. You will see for yourself how much more elegant and dignified and focused Parker really was, compared with the portrayal in this film. I forgive that though, as it is a dramatization, so they have to make it larger than life.
The storyline was so well laid out, with forest whitaker playing the amazing saxophonist, clint eastwood who directed the film, does it with such magic and power, that will keep viewers at the edge of their seats. Its unfortunate that their was a lack of special features, only including a trailer. But still, a truly powerful and dazzling piece of film-making. 10/10.
