One of the finest sequences in “Respect,” a biopic about Aretha Franklin starring Jennifer Hudson, is when the singer and producer Jerry Wexler (Marc Maron) are in the legendary Fame recording studio in Muscle Shoals, Ala. They’re working on a song called “I Never Loved a Man,” with Aretha noodling different riffs on the piano as the house band tentatively joins in. “Let’s find another pocket,” Wex says at one point. She does, and the result makes musical history.

作为一部电影，“尊重”居住在一个明显的划清口袋里：这是它最常规，原理图，偶尔淀粉的电影肖像，通常是疯狂的死记硬背。这部电影始于1952年，当时作为一个10岁的神童，艾瑞莎常常从睡眠中涌现，为她父亲抛出的星期六夜间，这是强大而繁荣的浸信会传教士C.L.富兰克林（森林惠特克）。The fact that the revelers in attendance include Dinah Washington, Ella Fitzgerald and “Uncle Duke” (as in Ellington), doesn’t faze young Ree: She belts out “My Baby Likes to Bebop” with the self-possession of a seasoned pro.

在这些早期的场景中扮演艾瑞莎的年轻女演员斯佩摩达科他特纳，这是令人印象深刻的管道。很快，她的角色已经成长为一个少年，与她的父亲一起走在路上，用马丁路德金的南方巡回南部。在一个优雅的演习段落中，年轻的aretha开始在伯明翰教堂唱一个赞美诗，相机淘汰避难所。当它圈回来时，它落在哈德森上，他的艾瑞莎可能年长，甚至更强大的声音，但比她像个小女孩一样害羞，受伤和毫无疑问。

Director Liesl Tommy, working from a script by Tracey Scott Wilson and a story Wilson wrote with Callie Khouri, acknowledges the sources of Aretha’s pain, but she does not dwell on them: Aretha’s absent and adored mother (played by Audra McDonald) dies suddenly just before the girl’s 11th birthday; she is subject to sexual abuse that is suggested simply by a closed door and her confused, frightened face. She gives birth to two sons by the time she’s 16, but we’re never shown the circumstances of those pregnancies.

在许多方面，“尊重”就像它的主题一样：整个电影的艺术天才仍然是一个深刻的神秘，很大程度上无法到达的人物。The film’s most explosive scenes are those in which the controlling men in her life — C.L., her manager and first husband Ted White (Marlon Wayans), Fame studio chief Rick Hall (Myk Watford), Wexler and Columbia Records producer John Hammond (Tate Donovan) — argue and even come to physical blows over her, while Aretha remains still and obedient, her eyes downcast, her lips steadfastly sealed.

唯一一次能够闭嘴她周围的男人就是当她唱歌时，她的现象语音和无可挑剔的措辞和判断将它们减少到愚蠢的敬畏。哈德森在“尊重”的叙述章节中，富兰克林令富兰克林，但在某些方式关闭角色的情况下，她没有太多玩耍。但在音乐内侧，她在历史上表现出了自己的表现。

So, while viewers watch the inevitable rise-rock bottom-redemption arc on screen — all set against an attractive period backdrop and embodied by an able cast of supporting actors — they may find themselves craving the next of “Respect’s” meticulously staged musical numbers, which include snippets of the soignee jazz standards Hammond mistakenly tried to force her into at Columbia, and then those miraculous hits she mined with Wexler in Muscle Shoals, the gospel-tinged rhythm and blues songs that invented a genre and made Aretha Franklin the Queen of Soul.

在结构上，“尊重”是磨削的，以获得伟大的电影。但作为哈德森的平台，作为哈德森的平台 - 作为一种又一次地体验艾瑞莎的车辆 - 它不仅可以完成工作，而且它的效力和感觉上涨。最后一节以1972年录音为中心的福音记录“惊人的恩典”，包括最终积分的情绪破碎的镜头，实现了近乎完美的遗憾和隆起平衡。
