This movie was very enjoyable. I liked the style of
story-telling that this doc had. It was straightforward but I liked that it had
the music in the background as it was going through the story of this man’s
music composition career. It had the various pictures to go along with it.
Almost like a Ken Burn’s type of approach, yet, this was more personal and
centered on one man. I liked how at the beginning it did not seem like such a
big deal concerning this man. If they would have said something along the lines
“this is the story of the guy who composed this song that is famous” I would
not have been too interested in paying too much attention to it. I already would know the purpose for the movie
and that just does not make the rest that important. There is no doubt,
however, that this man’s life is one of inspiration. It is very much a story of
not giving up on your dreams, as cheesy as that sounds. But I think that it is
a reminder of how we should just follow what we think is right not by what
others might think we should make of our lives. He had the added bonus of
having his wife support him along with his character to be successful later on.
It took a lot of years, too many it seems. It was all-worthwhile though. He had
worked very hard on that dream and he finally accomplished it and would be
heard for generations to come.
