		Maybe the real Chan Parker was like that, but the Chan/Charlie relationship is entirely lacking in drama (contrast Lee Krassner in "Pollock").
		Parker is harassed in almost "Les Miserables" style by a federal DEA agent, but that only speeds the process—the inexorable process of self-destruction for which there is no explanation onscreen.
		Parker's playing was extracted from original recordings (some never released) and rerecorded with new sidemen, so there is a real sense in which Charlie Parker himself provided the soundtrack.

		Parker mastered his craft while a teenager, became a legend in his twenties, and burned himself out at the age of 34.

		The wonderful thing about the film portrayal of Parker, and for which we can give great thanks to director Clint Eastwood, is that these contradictions are laid out unflinchingly.
		On the other hand, Diane Venora gives a strong performance as Chan, expressing very well the contradictory pulls in a woman who wanted to keep her husband clean and pure by removing him from his milieu ("fleeing to West-ches-ter," in his sardonic phrase), yet realized that doing so would kill him just as surely.
		Parker greatly admired Stravinsky, and would surely have wanted to connect with the composer on an equal footing, as a fellow innovator.
