GET ON UP FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION) starring Chadwick Boseman is a powerful biographical film that showcases the extraordinary journey of James Brown, a man who transformed his tumultuous beginnings into a legacy that shaped the music industry.
Set against the backdrop of the deep South during the mid-20th century, the film dives into Brown's childhood marked by hardship and resilience. Born in a small town in South Carolina, he faced extreme poverty, instability, and abandonment which significantly influenced his music and persona. The film illustrates how these early challenges propelled him to find solace in music, eventually leading to his rise as the "Godfather of Soul."
Chadwick Boseman delivers a compelling performance, brilliantly capturing James Brown's dynamic stage presence, relentless drive, and emotional depth. Boseman's portrayal highlights not only Brown's musical genius but also his struggles with personal demons and complex relationships throughout his life.
The film chronicles various stages of Brown's career, showcasing iconic moments such as:
His breakout performance in the 1950s with hits like "Please, Please, Please."
The emergence of the funk genre that he helped to pioneer.
His revolutionary live performances, characterized by electrifying dance moves and innovative rhythms.
Moreover, GET ON UP explores James Brown's impact on civil rights and social change, as his music became anthems for the African American community during the turbulent 1960s and 70s. His famous live concert in Boston in 1968 is depicted as a pivotal moment that brought a sense of hope and unity amidst the chaos of the civil rights movement.
The film also touches on Brown's complex personal life, including his relationships with family, friends, and associates, revealing the sacrifices and challenges he faced to achieve his dreams. It emphasizes his determination to succeed and the toll it took on his mental health and personal relationships.
In addition to capturing the essence of Brown's musical journey, the film features a gripping soundtrack filled with his iconic songs. Viewers are treated to performances of classics such as:
"I Got You (I Feel Good)"
"Get Up Offa That Thing"
"Papa's Got a Brand New Bag"
GET ON UP FYC serves not only as a tribute to James Brown's legacy but also as an exploration of the sheer power of music as a transformative force. It celebrates his contributions to the cultural landscape and his unparalleled influence on generations of artists that followed.
This film is a must-watch for anyone interested in the life of a musical icon, the evolution of soul music, or the intricacies of overcoming adversity through art.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
