I enjoyed Eddie's depiction of Rudy Ray Moore. There's something about it that is genuine and interesting. I liked the process that Rudy goes through to reach stardom.
But I couldn't understand why the audience went wild over Rudy's one liners. I know it was the beginning of rap or hip hop. There's something poetic about his monologues. But I didn't understand why the audience in the movie found them funny. To me, it just wasn't funny at all. Instead it was vulgar and low-class. Is it a cultural gap that I'm feeling? Is there such a wide culture gap between me and the African American community that Rudy appealed to? How do African Americans find Rudy Ray Moore's humor? I'd like to know.
