Nuanced portrayal of a famous man and his impact on those around him

In this chapter, they discuss their initial worries about the portrayal of a famous man and the destruction in his personal life, but they find that the film is more nuanced than they had expected. They speculate about the different ways to see this man, either through his sexuality or through his music. They question whether he was manipulative with his power, but feel that the film does not explore this aspect in depth. They highlight a scene where his wife is in his shadow during a performance, symbolizing her position in his life. They also feel that the exploration of his sexuality was not fully developed in the film.
