The way they portrayed Howlin' Wolf was quite off from history. They make him look like an arrogant seducer who was capable of casual murder.

He was none of those things. He was a brave man in his middle age who made sure nobody was screwing him or his band out of the money they earned. Unlike the dozens of other blues artists that got ripped off, Wolf got his money in hand and didn't waste it on booze or whores. He was a well-grounded person with a scary persona that sold well to the public

@JimmySteller I love your description of Howlin' Wolf, however, I disagree with your assessment of his portrayal. I believe that what you described as accurate is how he was portrayed in the film. Granted, in this scene, he's seen as a bit arrogant and seductive, but that's the nature of blues...or at least a part of it. Smokestack Lightening is HOT!

@DRock6906 Yes it is.

@JimmySteller There were several fictitious elements in this movie. I realize it wasn't meant to be a retelling, but I was still disappointed in it.

Is that the real Hubert Summlin sitting next to the actor "playing" Hubert Summlin? Kind of looks like him to me but I might be wrong.

@jimmysteller they did portray Howlin' Wolf in that sense. This scene just focused on his rivalry with Muddy Waters and how he despised the fact that Muddy would always go to Chess for a handout instead of standing on his own two feet. Howlin' Wolf was a strong black man like you said, and I think they portrayed it perfectly throughout the movie. Not to mention he scared the shit out of you as well.

I love the portrayal. He doesn't come across as arrogant. He comes across as a guy who doesn't take s***. Strong and confident. I loved it! It was this portrayal that made me go out and buy Howlin' Wolf music.
