RESPECT FYC (BLU-RAY)

Respect is a powerful biographical drama film that showcases the life and career of the iconic singer and actress Jennifer Hudson. The film, directed by Lieberman Lies, highlights Hudson's transformation from a young girl with dreams of musical stardom to becoming one of the most celebrated performers of her generation.

At the heart of Respect is the story of Aretha Franklin, the "Queen of Soul," whose incredible voice and influence left an indelible mark on the music industry. Hudson, who portrays Franklin, brings a profound depth to the role, having been personally inspired by the legendary artist throughout her own career.

The film takes the audience on a journey through Franklin's life, detailing her struggles and triumphs, as well as her relationships with family, friends, and the music industry. Key themes include:

Resilience: Aretha faced numerous challenges, including personal hardships and professional obstacles, yet she remained determined to succeed.

Empowerment: Aretha's story is not just one of musical achievement but also of overcoming adversity and asserting her place in a male-dominated industry.

Legacy: The film explores how Aretha's music and advocacy for civil rights changed the cultural landscape and inspired generations to come.

Jennifer Hudson's portrayal of Aretha Franklin is marked by her notable vocal performances, which are crucial to conveying the emotional impact of the film. Hudson, an Academy Award-winning actress and Grammy Award-winning singer, captures Franklin's essence, bringing authenticity and emotional range to each performance. Her rendition of classics like "Respect" and "Natural Woman" pays homage to Franklin while showcasing Hudson's remarkable talent.

The film also delves into the personal life of Franklin, including her upbringing in a religious household, her complicated relationships, and her journey to finding her unique voice amidst struggles. Audience members are granted a glimpse into Franklin's determination to carve out her own path in music, which serves as a pivotal aspect of her legacy.

The film's production values are noteworthy, with a careful attention to the period details that immerse viewers in the various decades of Franklin’s life. The combination of historical context and personal storytelling creates a rich tapestry that both entertains and educates. The film features a talented supporting cast, including Forest Whitaker as Aretha's father and Marlon Wayans in a sensitive role, contributing depth and dimension to the narrative.

In summary, Respect is not only a tribute to Aretha Franklin’s extraordinary life but also celebrates the talent and dedication of Jennifer Hudson. The film stands as a significant cultural artifact that highlights the indelible influence of music on our social movements and personal identities.
For Blu-ray Player

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.


  • SHIPPING:

    We typically ship all items out within 1-2 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage.

    International buyers please email/chat with us to determine if you are eligible for shipping of a specific product. If you are, then international buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.
