Review of Searching for Sugar Man (2012) by Tony S — 30 Jan 2013

Rick Emmerson: What he's demonstrated, very clearly, is that you have a choice. He took all that torment, all that agony, all that confusion and pain, and he transformed it into something beautiful. He's like the silkworm, you know? You take this raw material, and you transform it. You come out with something that wasn't there before. Something beautiful. Something perhaps transcendent. Something perhaps eternal. Insofar as he does that, I think he's representative of the human spirit, of what's possible. That you have a choice "And this has been my choice, to give you Sugar Man". Now, have you done that? Ask yourself.

Fascinante historia de Rodriguez, un músico prácticamente desconocido en los Estados Unidos, y hasta presumido muerto con historias inverosímiles alrededor de su muerte, pero sin él saber que en South Africa es una figura superior a la de Elvis y Los Rolling Stones. Ejemplo vivo de que todo es posible, y que a veces, sólo a veces, a las personas buenas les pasan cosas buenas.
