Yep. The film made it clear that Lee Morgan's had f*cked up his own life on a grand scale. Not uncommon among artists. Miles certainly had major struggles with being an a**hole. But these particular artists lived in a particular time that was almost unique. They lived in a pressure cooker of musical invention like the world has infrequently seen, easy access to drugs, and racism with a capital R. Hard to get your character right in those circumstances. Hard to always love yourself let alone another person. For Helen and Lee Morgan it was like two strange planets colliding.
W.B.Yeats
The Choice
The intellect of man is forced to choose
perfection of the life, or of the work,
And if it take the second must refuse
A heavenly mansion, raging in the dark.
When all that story's finished, what's the news?
In luck or out the toil has left its mark:
That old perplexity an empty purse,
Or the day's vanity, the night's remorse.
