Documentaries/Books That Changed Your Mind About An Artist

Tweet

Director, musician, writer, actor, comedian, etc... For better or for worse. Their work or their personality. I love to compare biographies, and even see their take on a single event. If you read enough, eventually you see who the yellow journalists are, full of conjecture, no corroboration (yet, saying that AFTER the audience just heard and processed a horrific rumor) and those careful about the truth. I try not to ever allow my ego to get in the way of my curiosity. I also like to compare one's autobiography against biographies. Marlon Brando's was very honest, and he's definitely one artist who I always loved as an actor, my very favorite, but before the internet exploding the way it is now, he (like Orson Welles, who is almost as interesting) were memes and used as jokes, defining them by their weight.
