I am honestly stumped at why you are taking the movie you saw and saying that they couldn't have made the movie from another perspective based on the evidence you saw in the movie in which they relegated the musician to a supporting role. What?
Again. What? They aren't explained because he's not the focus of the movie. Do you think they may have explained these things--given some backstory--if he were?
I suppose that could be. He also could have been an amazingly interesting person whose idiosyncrasies were based in plot points and character development. What???
This is the strangest conversation I've ever witnessed.
No. The back story is there because the white guy is the lead. What the fuck?
That's quite the read considering his family has been vocal about how inaccurate the film is. Maybe he had a family later in life? Maybe he has no apparent family because the focus of the film is someone else and those characters were eliminated.
You have taken this movie and turned all the choices they have made based on who the lead is into evidence of why they didn't make the movie about someone else. You are not making any sense.

I get it now, they deliberately played this guy as an idiot so people can be happy that he’s the hero, bailing out an intelligent but eccentric character of color. Kind of despicable when you think about it.
