This was his first and probably darkest comedy he ever did. He talked about the real deal. How he felt about life and how he saw life. He may have been joking but there was a lot of "his" truth in his words. Especially in the end when plays a drunk person who is down on his luck. Its like he has for sure either been there or knows someone who has. He portrays a black alcoholic with a huge chip on his shoulder and it is very sad indeed. Pryor was the first of his kind and many people have tried to follow in his footsteps and have gotten lost along the way, such as Murphy. Thank you for all you did to make me life and thank you for all the memories!
