Just finished watching the broomfield trio,
- heidi fleiss: hollywood madam
- kurt and courtney
- biggie and tupac
I only discovered broomfield last month, after i borrowed a buddy's copy of biggie and really loved it.
after the cbc showed biggie/tupac on tv a few weeks back, i have been getting into really intense conversations about it with people who caught it on tv.
who ever saw that doc, and haven't checked out other broomfield stuff, i start this thread for u ---
get a copy of his other titles if u can!
they all make for incredible conversation pieces after watching them, and give truly authentic insights into the artists that we weren't privy to thru mainstream tv.
for those who did see biggie and maybe kurt and courtney some questions!
what did u think of the conclusions he came to?
as for biggie/tupac - Is Suge knight behind both killings? Did biggie have no role in tupac's death? Also, the LAPD seems so blatantly guilty after witnnessing all the evidence they disregarded. I was also touched with biggie's mom - what an intelligent lady with incredible memories of her son.
and on the Kurt doc, i found his beginnings truly fascinating - his isolation as a child, and how he wore baggy clothes thru out high school to cover up his frailty. that is fucked when u think about it - since he spawned an entire fashion trend of baggy clothing.
also courtney comes off just awful - is she behind kurt's murder? was cobain murdered???
and courtney's dad! holy shit, what a freak. he's practically ready to throw his daughter in jail! but why would you do that? why would you throw your own daughter in jail? I can only imagine what courtney did to him.
but then i get thinking, how many of these people have their own agendas? no doubt all of them. that what makes these documentaries so cool, your left weighing all the evidence from all these sources.
as for broomfield, he has an amazing talent to catch people off guard and get them to say things they really shouldn't on camera. for some reason i always considered celebrity murder cases untouchable by any media i could get my hands on, which is why im so impressed with the evidence broomfield was able to get.
i really want to thank michael moore for getting me in to documentary film....i always thought of them as educational boredom on tape. but there actually a fascinating look at life, seen thru certain people somewhere sometime.
so mike if ur reading this, way to go man!
