About that Son
forgot about this. heard about it a long time ago. the time has finally come.
i read a review of this unusual documentary saying that it was profoundly disappointing to see one's hero in a new light. in a light that shows he was a "jerk." this statement is supported by a quote from kurt about how much he despises people and judges them based on how they look.
i want to tell this poor, most likely very young reviewer-guy that he should have known kurt was like this, didn't he ever read the lyrics? besides, every teen-20something feels like this at some point.
oh wait. or do they?
i did.
it's easy to forget kurt was a child, basically, when he aimed and shot. he died when i was 24, he was 27 - and in much the same way people see themselves as staying the same age - in my mind, kurt is now grown-up like me and very far away from that kind of immature thinking, so it's really nothing to get upset about.
poor reviewer-guy. did he think it was all an act?
watch the trailer. it looks and sounds like an amazing little flick.
out on DVD February 19.
