The Ending Of Netflix's The Dig Explained

https://screenrant.com/dig-2021-movie-ending-explained/

“Even though Peggy (Lily James) and Rory's (Johnny Flynn) romance is entirely fictional, the tragic subtext will certainly resonate with audiences. The characters share common interests, but they are destined to be apart for two obvious reasons: marriage and war. In terms of storytelling, The Dig makes Peggy a sympathetic figure because her husband is so painfully unloving and distant; in fact, it's heavily implied Stuart may not even be physically attracted to his wife. Thus, the audience can easily root for a romance between Peggy and Rory because they seem like an ideal match. But just when the characters give in to their feelings, The Dig jolts the audience by revealing that Rory is headed off to war. And he leaves rather quickly, too; a concept so many people can relate to, whether it's family members of soldiers or just people who have lost a loved one, suddenly and unexpectedly. In theory, Rory could return home safely, but the subtext in the Netflix movie implies a dark fate. Incidentally, The Dig adds another tragic dimension as Edith hopes Rory will look after her son, Robert, with her fear being Rory won't make it back from the war.”

Spreading Hatred...

Rounding up a week in Hollyoaks (11th-15th March 2019)

This week was perhaps one of the most uncomfortable weeks of Hollyoaks I’ve sat through, as Ste Hay’s far right extremism story took centre stage. It was also incredibly compelling to watch and the terrible news coming out of New Zealand this weekend, proves that Hollyoaks are right to bring this issue to the public’s attention. At the start of the week, Imran was still giving himself a hard time for attacking Ste, and Tony decided it was his duty to tell the Maalik’s the truth, resulting in Ste punching Sami and being suspended from the tea house when new boss, Stuart, witnessed the fight. With Ste furiously stomping around the flat, Peri decided that his feud with the Maalik’s had gone far enough and invited them round for dinner that evening. Ste was initially completely against the idea, however, he was given food for thought when Peri pointed out that he had been just as bad as Imran at one point, but people had been good enough to give him a second chance and he reluctantly agreed to attend. Unfortunately, Ste had a bad day when Stuart informed him that he’d lost his job indefinitely and he threw the Maalik’s out when he returned home to find them sitting round the table.

The following morning, Peri presented Ste with an unpaid bill and demanded to know what he was going to do about it. Ste continued to blame the Maalik’s for his current predicament, and he said as much to Leah when she walked into the room, telling her that he would have to cancel their holiday as a result. Later, at school, Leah cornered Imran in the corridor and blamed him for her family’s problems. Leah was stopped in her tracks as she grabbed hold of Imran and went to punch him, and Ste and Sami were quickly called into school to discuss the altercation. As Ste ranted and raved about Imran ‘targeting’ Leah, he was stopped in his tracks when Laurie revealed that Leah had been the instigator, and told Ste to get a grip of himself. With no job, and now having to deal with his daughter being drawn into the conflict, a devastated Ste returned to the village, and was seen eyeing up Sami’s car whilst holding a screw driver. He was stopped from damaging the vehicle by Jonny, who took Ste back to the flat and suggested he move in. Although Ste was delighted by the new arrangement, the same couldn’t be said for Peri, who was left feeling deeply uncomfortable by a comment Jonny made about Muslims...

Although Ste appeared unfazed by the comment, Peri wasn’t willing to let it go, and demanded that Ste have a word with Jonny. Jonny feigned horror over the situation and managed to convince Ste that there had been no malice in his words. Keen to keep Ste onside, Jonny convinced Stuart to give Ste his job back, and the pair invited Ste and Lucas to attend a football match with them and some of their mates. However, it soon became apparent that these were not people Ste should be mixing with as, whilst Stuart kept Ste talking inside, telling him that he would always be welcome with them, Jonny and co beat a man outside in a racially motivated attack. With no knowledge of what had occurred, Ste spent the rest of the day with the group, and was delighted by how well they all seemed to get on and how accepting they were of his sexuality and past addictions. However, the following day, DS Yates turned up at the tea house to investigate the attack, and questioned Ste over whether or not any of his group had left the pub at any point. Despite knowing that they had, Ste covered for Jonny. Whilst Jonny may have been able to win Ste round easily, he was having a far harder time with Peri, who was left suspicious when she walked in on Stuart and Jonny in cahoots. Needing to think of an excuse quickly, Jonny made Peri feel uncomfortable when he told her that he had a crush on her, and had simply been asking Stuart for advice.

Meanwhile, as Ste spent time with his new friends, Aunty Kameela was holding a dinner party for the Maalik’s, minus Misbah, who was away on a course. Kameela quickly found herself at loggerheads with Sami when she invited Liberty to the meal without his knowledge and the pair butted heads again later over their differing ideas over what it means to be a Muslim in 21st century Britain. Fantastic scenes, which juxtaposed perfectly with Ste being sucked further and further into the grasp of the extremists.

Elsewhere this week, there was trouble in paradise for Sally and Myra as Sally was once again left questioning Myra’s commitment to her, especially when Myra didn’t correct the priest when he assumed she was marrying a man. Sally was further crushed when Nana left one of Myra’s old wedding scrapbooks lying around and she realised it was full of pictures of men. In order to get Myra excited about marrying Sally again, Nana took her for a night out at the Duke Street Social, where Myra ended up having a snog with the DJ, as witnessed by Scott. Scott confronted a guilty Myra over her actions a couple of days later, and Myra promised Scott she would come clean. However, she couldn’t bring herself to do so and instead, threw herself into planning her wedding to Sally.

In other news this week, with Harry and James back from their holiday, Mac began piling the pressure on Breda to kill James before the court case. There was relief all round when Maxine’s test results showed that there was nothing wrong with her whilst we finally saw a human side to Liam as he spent time with baby Iona. Finally, Harley decided to leave the village and was touched when Tom gifted her some money to put towards her dream of working with Orangoutangs.

5 Things We Learned This Week:

1. There are many ways to leave Hollyoaks. You can die in an unusual manner, such as being stabbed by a samurai sword like Callum Kane, or you can sail off on a barge with Cat Deeley like Rory ‘Finn’ Finnegan. This week saw Harley bid farewell as she left to ‘save the orangoutangs’. Ten points for originality, Hollyoaks!

2. Always look for the man in drag when about to cheat on your partner. Yes, it could be a beautiful woman sat at the bar, but it could also be one of your neighbours, who just happens to have a voice that can be heard from space.

3. Leah Barnes would make the perfect case study in the ‘nature vs nurture’ debate. She may not be Ste’s biological daughter, but she was certainly channeling him this week as she gave Imran what for. Let’s just hope that’s as far as the similarities go. I don’t want to see Leah don a tracksuit any time soon.

4. Peri Lomax is all kinds of amazing right now. I loved her calling Ste out on his treatment of the Maaliks, especially when she reminded him of all the terrible things he got up to in his youth. It sometimes feels that the show itself forgets that Ste used to be a hateful little shit so it was great to see the characters actually acknowledge it.

5. Tony is most definitely not a homophobe. He’s got a gay son and a rainbow flag in his restaurant window to prove it!

Characters Featured:

Aunty Kameela, Breda, Damon, Donna-Marie, DS Yates, Goldie, Grace, Harley, Harry, Imran, Iona, James, Jesse, Joel, Jonny, Juliet, Laurie, Leah, Liam, Liberty, Lucas, Mac, Maxine, Mercedes, Misbah, Myra, Nana McQueen, Peri, Romeo, Sally, Sami, Scott, Sienna, Ste, Stuart, Sylver, Tom, Tony and Yasmine.

Muddy Waters

McKinley Morganfield (April 4, 1913 – April 30, 1983), better known as Muddy Waters, was an American blues musician who is often cited as the "father of modern Chicago blues".

Muddy Waters grew up on Stovall Plantation near Clarksdale, Mississippi, and by age 17 was playing the guitar and the harmonica, emulating local blues artists Son House and Robert Johnson. He was recorded in Mississippi by Alan Lomax for the Library of Congress in 1941. In 1943, he moved to Chicago to become a full-time, professional musician. In 1946, he recorded his first records for Columbia Records and then for Aristocrat Records, a newly formed label run by the brothers Leonard and Phil Chess.

In the early 1950s, Muddy Waters and his band—Little Walter Jacobs on harmonica, Jimmy Rogers on guitar, Elgin Evans on drums and Otis Spann on piano—recorded several blues classics, some with bassist and songwriter Willie Dixon. These songs included "Hoochie Coochie Man", "I Just Want to Make Love to You" and "I'm Ready". In 1958, he traveled to England, laying the foundations of the subsequent blues boom there. His performance at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1960 was recorded and released as his first live album, At Newport 1960.

Muddy Waters' influence was tremendous, not just on blues and rhythm and blues but on rock and roll, hard rock, folk music, jazz, and country music. His use of amplification is often cited as the link between Delta blues and rock and roll.

Early life

Muddy Waters birthplace and date is not conclusively known. He stated that he was born in Rolling Fork, Mississippi in 1915, but it is believed he was actually most likely born in Jug's Corner, in neighboring Issaquena County in 1913. Recent research has uncovered documentation showing that in the 1930s and 1940s, before his rise to fame, he reported his birth year as 1913 on his marriage license, recording notes, and musicians' union card. A 1955 interview in the Chicago Defender is the earliest he claimed 1915 as his year of birth, which he continued to use in interviews from that point onward. The 1920 census lists him as five years old as of March 6, 1920, suggesting that his birth year may have been 1914. The Social Security Death Index, relying on the Social Security card application submitted after his move to Chicago in the mid-1940s, lists him as being born April 4, 1913. His gravestone gives his birth year as 1915.

Muddy Waters' grandmother, Della Grant, raised him after his mother died shortly after his birth. Grant gave him the nickname "Muddy" at an early age because he loved to play in the muddy water of nearby Deer Creek. "Waters" was added years later, as he began to play harmonica and perform locally in his early teens. The remains of the cabin on Stovall Plantation where Waters lived in his youth are now at the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale, Mississippi.

He had his first introduction to music in church: "I used to belong to church. I was a good Baptist, singing in the church. So I got all of my good moaning and trembling going on for me right out of church," he recalled. By the time, he was 17, he had purchased his first guitar. "I sold the last horse that we had. Made about fifteen dollars for him, gave my grandmother seven dollars and fifty cents, I kept seven-fifty and paid about two-fifty for that guitar. It was a Stella. The people ordered them from Sears-Roebuck in Chicago." He started playing his songs in joints nearby his hometown, mostly in a plantation owned by Colonel William Howard Stovall.

Career

Early career

In August 1941, Alan Lomax went to Stovall, Mississippi, on behalf of the Library of Congress to record various country blues musicians. "He brought his stuff down and recorded me right in my house," Muddy recalled in Rolling Stone, "and when he played back the first song I sounded just like anybody's records. Man, you don't know how I felt that Saturday afternoon when I heard that voice and it was my own voice. Later on he sent me two copies of the pressing and a check for twenty bucks, and I carried that record up to the corner and put it on the jukebox. Just played it and played it and said, 'I can do it, I can do it.'" Lomax came back in July 1942 to record Muddy again. Both sessions were eventually released as Down on Stovall's Plantation by Testament Records. The complete recordings were reissued on CD as Muddy Waters: The Complete Plantation Recordings. The Historic 1941–42 Library of Congress Field Recordings by Chess Records in 1993 and remastered in 1997.

In 1943, Muddy headed to Chicago with the hope of becoming a full-time professional musician. He lived with a relative for a short period while driving a truck and working in a factory by day and performing at night. Big Bill Broonzy, then one of the leading bluesmen in Chicago, had Muddy open his shows in the rowdy clubs where Broonzy played. This gave Muddy the opportunity to play in front of a large audience. In 1944, Muddy bought his first electric guitar and then he formed his first electric combo. He felt obliged to electrify his sound in Chicago as he stated "When I went into the clubs, the first thing I wanted was an amplifier. Couldn't nobody hear you with an acoustic." Muddy's sound reflected the optimism of postwar African Americans. Willie Dixon mentioned "There was quite a few people around singing the blues but most of them was singing all sad blues. Muddy was giving his blues a little pep."

Three years later in 1946, he recorded some songs for Mayo Williams at Columbia Records, but they were not released at the time. Later that year, he began recording for Aristocrat Records, a newly formed label run by the brothers Leonard and Phil Chess. In 1947, he played guitar with Sunnyland Slim on piano on the cuts "Gypsy Woman" and "Little Anna Mae." These were also shelved, but in 1948, "I Can't Be Satisfied" and "I Feel Like Going Home" became big hits, and his popularity in clubs began to take off. Soon after, Aristocrat changed its name to Chess Records, and Muddy's signature tune "Rollin' Stone" also became a hit that year.

Commercial success

Initially, the Chess brothers wouldn't allow Muddy to use his working band in the recording studio; instead, he was provided with a backing bass by Ernest "Big" Crawford or by musicians assembled specifically for the recording session, including "Baby Face" Leroy Foster and Johnny Jones. Gradually, Chess relented, and by September 1953, he was recording with one of the most acclaimed blues groups in history: Little Walter Jacobs on harmonica, Jimmy Rogers on guitar, Elga Edmonds (also known as Elgin Evans) on drums, and Otis Spann on piano. The band recorded a series of blues classics during the early 1950s, some with the help of bassist and songwriter Willie Dixon, including "Hoochie Coochie Man", "I Just Want to Make Love to You", and "I'm Ready." These three were "the most macho songs in his repertoire", wrote Robert Palmer in Rolling Stone. "Muddy would never have composed anything so unsubtle. But they gave him a succession of showstoppers and an image, which were important for a bluesman trying to break out of the grind of local gigs into national prominence."

Along with his former harmonica player Little Walter Jacobs and recent southern transplant Howlin' Wolf, Muddy reigned over the early 1950s Chicago blues scene, his band becoming a proving ground for some of the city's best blues talent. While Little Walter continued a collaborative relationship long after he left Muddy's band in 1952, appearing on most of Muddy's classic recordings in the 1950s, Muddy developed a long-running, generally good-natured rivalry with Wolf. The success of Muddy's ensemble paved the way for others in his group to break away and make their own solo careers. In 1952, Little Walter left when his single "Juke" became a hit, and in 1955, Rogers quit to work exclusively with his own band, which had been a sideline until that time. Although he continued working with Muddy's band, Otis Spann enjoyed a solo career and many releases under his own name beginning in the mid-1950s. Around that time, Muddy Waters scored hits with songs "Mannish Boy" and "Sugar Sweet" in 1955, followed by the R&B hits "Trouble No More," "Forty Days & Forty Nights", and "Don't Go No Farther" in 1956.

England

Muddy toured England in 1958 and shocked audiences (whose only previous exposure to blues had come via the acoustic folk blues sounds of acts such as Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee and Big Bill Broonzy) with his loud, amplified electric guitar and thunderous beat. His performance at the 1960 Newport Jazz Festival, recorded and released as his first live album, At Newport 1960, introduced a new generation to Muddy's sound.

Grammy

In 1971, a show at Mister Kelly's, an upmarket Chicago nightclub, was recorded and released, signalling both Muddy's return to form and the completion of his transfer to white audiences. In December, he took harpist Carey Bell and guitarist Sammy Lawhorn to England to record The London Muddy Waters Sessions, which featured Rory Gallagher, Mitch Mitchell, and Georgie Fame. Soon after, he won his first Grammy Award for They Call Me Muddy Waters, an album of old, but previously unreleased recordings. Another Grammy followed for London Sessions, and yet another one for his last LP on Chess Records: The Muddy Waters Woodstock Album, recorded in 1975 with his new guitarist Bob Margolin, Pinetop Perkins, Paul Butterfield, and Levon Helm and Garth Hudson of The Band.

The Super Blues Band

However, following his last big hit, "I'm Ready", in 1956, Muddy was put on the back shelf by Chess. In 1967, he joined forces with Bo Diddley, Little Walter, and Howlin' Wolf to record the albums Super Blues and The Super Super Blues Band, containing Chess blues standards. In 1972, he went back to England to record The London Muddy Waters Sessions with Rory Gallagher, Steve Winwood, Rick Grech, and Mitch Mitchell, but their playing was not up to his standards. "These boys are top musicians, they can play with me, put the book before 'em and play it, you know," he told Guralnick. "But that ain't what I need to sell my people, it ain't the Muddy Waters sound. An' if you change my sound, then you gonna change the whole man." Muddy's stated, "My blues look so simple, so easy to do, but it's not. They say my blues is the hardest blues in the world to play."

Final shows

In 1981, Muddy Waters was invited to perform at ChicagoFest, the city's top outdoor music festival. He was joined onstage by Johnny Winter, who had produced Waters' most recent albums, and played classics like "Mannish Boy", "Trouble No More", and "Mojo Working" to a new generation of fans. This historic performance was made available on DVD in 2009 by Shout! Factory. Later that year, he performed live with the Rolling Stones at the Checkerboard Lounge; a DVD version of the performance was released in 2012.

In 1982, declining health dramatically curtailed his performance schedule. His last public performance took place when he sat in with Eric Clapton's band at a concert in Florida in the summer of 1982.

Personal life

Muddy Waters' longtime wife, Geneva, died of cancer on March 15, 1973. Gaining custody of some of his children, he moved them into his home, eventually buying a new house in Westmont, Illinois. Years later, Muddy travelled to Florida and met his future wife, 19-year-old Marva Jean Brooks, whom he nicknamed "Sunshine". Eric Clapton served as best man at their wedding in 1979.

His sons, Larry "Mud" Morganfield and Big Bill Morganfield, are also blues singers and musicians.

Death

Muddy Waters died in his sleep from heart failure, at his home in Westmont, Illinois, on April 30, 1983. Throngs of blues musicians and fans attended his funeral at Restvale Cemetery in Alsip, Illinois, to pay tribute to one of the true originals of the art form. John P. Hammond told Guitar World magazine, "Muddy was a master of just the right notes. It was profound guitar playing, deep and simple... more country blues transposed to the electric guitar, the kind of playing that enhanced the lyrics, gave profundity to the words themselves."

Legacy

Two years after his death, Chicago honored him by designating the one-block section between 900 and 1000 E. 43rd Street near his former home on the south side "Honorary Muddy Waters Drive". The Chicago suburb of Westmont, where Muddy lived the last decade of his life, named a section of Cass Avenue near his home "Honorary Muddy Waters Way". Following his death, fellow blues musician B.B. King told Guitar World, "It's going to be years and years before most people realize how greatly he contributed to American music". A Mississippi Blues Trail marker has been placed in Clarksdale, Mississippi, by the Mississippi Blues Commission designating the site of Muddy Waters' cabin.

His influence is tremendous, over a range of music genres: blues, rhythm and blues, rock and roll, hard rock, folk music, jazz, and country music. He also helped Chuck Berry get his first record contract.

His 1958 tour of England marked possibly the first time amplified, modern urban blues was heard there, although on this tour he was the only one amplified. His backing was provided by the trad jazz group of the Englishman Chris Barber.

His use of amplification has been cited as "the technological missing link between Delta Blues and Rock 'N' Roll." This is underlined in a 1968 article in Rolling Stone magazine: “There was a difference between Muddy’s instrumental work and that of House and Johnson, however, and the crucial difference was the result of Waters’ use of the electric guitar on his Aristocrat sides; he had taken up the instrument shortly after moving to Chicago in 1943.”

The Rolling Stones named themselves after his 1950 song "Rollin' Stone" (also known as "Catfish Blues", which was covered by Jimi Hendrix). Rolling Stone magazine took its name from the same song. Hendrix recalled that "the first guitar player I was aware of was Muddy Waters. I first heard him as a little boy and it scared me to death". The band Cream covered "Rollin' and Tumblin'" on their 1966 debut album, Fresh Cream, as Eric Clapton was a big fan of Muddy Waters when he was growing up, and his music influenced Clapton's music career. The song was also covered by Canned Heat at the Monterey Pop Festival and later adapted by Bob Dylan on his album Modern Times. One of Led Zeppelin's biggest hits, "Whole Lotta Love", is lyrically based on the Muddy Waters hit "You Need Love", written by Willie Dixon. Dixon wrote some of Muddy Waters' songs, including "I Just Want to Make Love to You" (a big radio hit for Etta James, as well as the 1970s rock band Foghat), "Hoochie Coochie Man", which the Allman Brothers Band covered (the song was also covered by Humble Pie, Steppenwolf, and Fear), "Trouble No More" and "I'm Ready". In 1993, Paul Rodgers released the album Muddy Water Blues: A Tribute to Muddy Waters, on which he covered a number of Muddy Waters songs, including "Louisiana Blues", "Rollin' Stone", "Hoochie Coochie Man" and "I'm Ready" in collaboration with a number of guitarists, including Gary Moore, Brian May and Jeff Beck.

Angus Young, of the rock group AC/DC, has cited Muddy Waters as one of his influences. The AC/DC song title "You Shook Me All Night Long" came from lyrics of the Muddy Waters song "You Shook Me", written by Willie Dixon and J. B. Lenoir. Earl Hooker first recorded it as an instrumental, which was then overdubbed with vocals by Muddy Waters in 1962. Led Zeppelin also covered it on their debut album.

Muddy Waters' songs have been featured in long-time fan Martin Scorsese's movies, including The Color of Money, Goodfellas, and Casino. Muddy Waters' 1970s recording of his mid-'50s hit "Mannish Boy" (also known as "I'm a Man") was used in the films Goodfellas, Better Off Dead, Risky Business, and the rockumentary The Last Waltz.

The song "Come Together" by the Beatles mentions Muddy Waters: "He roller coaster/he got Muddy Waters."

Van Morrison's song "Cleaning Windows", on his album Beautiful Vision (1982), includes the lyric "Muddy Waters singin', I'm a Rolling Stone".

In 2008, actor Jeffrey Wright portrayed Muddy Waters in the film Cadillac Records, about Chess Records and its recording artists. Another 2008 film about Leonard Chess and Chess Records, Who Do You Love, also covers Muddy's time at Chess Records.

In the 2009 film The Boat That Rocked (retitled Pirate Radio in the U.S) about pirate radio in the UK, the cryptic message that late-night DJ Bob gives to Carl to give to Carl's mother is "Muddy Waters rocks".

In 1990, the television series Doogie Howser, M.D. featured an episode called "Doogie Sings the Blues" with the main character, Blind Otis Lemon, based on Muddy Waters, with references to his influence on the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, along with the performance of "Got My Mojo Working" by Blind Otis Lemon. He is also referred to as the original "Hoochie Coochie Man".
